    The title of this article is bad. Further down they reference that ISW estimates 40,000 casualties for June. So killed and wounded. Still horrific, but even with Russia’s atrocious killed to wounded ratio more like 10-20k killed.

      Recent statement of Rubio was that Russia now has more killed than wounded. That would mean they are down to not even pre-WW1 but medieval casualty levels. And its not unlikely as their casualties would be on the offensive infiltration operations where there’s no chance of evacuation. - As per Perun.

        I’ve had this sense building for a while that the world is returning to medieval times. Or that, that’s what the powerful people in control everywhere want to happen to normal people while they control all the tech and everything. I hope I’m wrong. But all it would really take is one big grid failure the world over. One big solar flare from the sun. It’s probably an outlandish feeling but eh.
