I'm with you there, Holy Russia has brought Ukraine down with absolute garbage forces.
Even then their losses are incredibly exaggerated in the West by our only sourcing being Ukrainian state news (Kyiv "Independent")

M16 said that russian losses are about 100k people as of the new year. They probably aren't gonna be far off. Forgetting where I read it, iirc the ukrainians have lost 60k people.
the russian military doesn't value human life the like the western world does, a life lost is the same as a bullet fired, it was used for a purpose, and can be replaced.
so measuring russia's performance in ukraine in terms of lives lost, isn't exactly the best metric, nor is measuring the amount of equipment lost, because russia has absolutely shitloads of tanks, BMPs, artillery pieces etc. When they have to give ground, they leave that junk behind because there is more coming, at least thats the plan, everyone says that their logistics are beyond garbage, but again, there is the fog of war, and on top of that, we're viewing the conflict through heavily censored media sources.
Im set in my earlier statement, about what the geo-political lines will look like when the dust settles. This is by all accounts a modern war, but its also one that isn't being fought with the conventions that we in the west expect to see in a modern war.
