The way this is going, I think back to a line I heard that “Russia’s greatest export is women”…and not necessarily in a good way.

There is an old Russian joke that goes back at least to Soviet times:
"What is the most permanent feature of our economy?"
"Temporary shortages."

Da Comrade - I mean fellow Russian....
Most of the old Soviet jokes carry over nicely into modern times.

This has me wondering how many casualties they've actually taken. I know theyre already in a demographic spiral but if their economy is starting to stall because of this war, their casualties must be in the hundreds of thousands.

I think I saw it in the Ukraine thread, but the Russians tipped their hand earlier this month when they released a budget document that showed the substantial growth in disability and survivor benefit claimants they had. Its north of 300K in survivor benefits alone.

Even if they aren’t dead or injured, having millions in uniform has a effect on available workers.

Jesus Christ Almighty. 300k dead. Maybe the same wounded, captured and missing? What a calamity this wasteful war has been.

It’s a calamity and a wasteful war if you believe in things like “keeping your people alive” and “human decency”…

That's the same number they suffered from combined disease and injury in a 10 year conflict in Afghanistan, along with 58,000 dead. this time I suspect the number of dead Russians is close to 100,000.
