Agreed, but I think we’re guaranteed to get another Putin if Russia is ostracized for years.Not if another Putin (or worse) takes over.
Lavrov should be right behind Putin.

So, diminished capacity is your medical opinion?No, I’m not. He has diminished capacity.
When I’m 79 I might be there as well. It’s a fact of life.
They held a wet finger in the air and realized educated, civilized Mericans aren't buying what Fox has been trying to sell.I just watched 15 minutes of the Fox News propaganda show "The Five."
They were all united against Putin, so that's nice.
This is exactly what is happening.They held a wet finger in the air and realized educated, civilized Mericans aren't buying what Fox has been trying to sell.
Maybe even getting blowback from advertisers.
I think it may happen anyway.Agreed, but I think we’re guaranteed to get another Putin if Russia is ostracized for years.
20,000 is a big number to hide from the Russian people for long. This rose petal parade they are being sold isn’t going to hold up forever. I’ve seen the bizarre texts and phone call transcripts, but the dam is going to crack.
Yep, 20,000 dead Russian military means every single Russian probably knows another family who has lost a son/husband etc.20,000 is a big number to hide from the Russian people for long.

Holy Shit Burger if that's not fake news.
Casualties =/= KIAYep, 20,000 dead Russian military means every single Russian probably knows another family who has lost a son/husband etc.
Previously, I think US sources were being pretty conservative on death counts compared to what we were hearing from Ukrainian sources.
True, this does not equal KIA, but that’s a lot of wounded to hide. The last fairly authoritative US number on dead that I heard was 6000, which is stunning for three weeks.Casualties =/= KIA
I’m taking it very well. Why wouldn’t I?Come on. You can dish it but can not take it.
I believe I just saw the US put it at 7,000 dead, conservatively. I just see people continually throwing out casualty estimates as KIA, which it isn't and only gets people more confused when the "number" they see drops from 20k to 6k.True, this does not equal KIA, but that’s a lot of wounded to hide.

Maybe they should ask the dead ones. 😞😔

True. Casualties do also indicate a strain on an attacker. All of those injured soldiers require support and take away from battlefield strength.I believe I just saw the US put it at 7,000 dead, conservatively.

She needs to go away.
They’ve been doing this for years.Of course they’re abusing this, too.
Conservatively, more than 7,000 Russian troops have been killed since Putin's Feb. 24 invasion, "a staggering number amassed in just three weeks of fighting," The New York Times reports. "Pentagon officials say a 10 percent casualty rate, including dead and wounded, for a single unit renders it unable to carry out combat-related tasks," and "Russian casualties, when including the estimated 14,000 to 21,000 injured, are near that level."I believe I just saw the US put it at 7,000 dead, conservatively.
