From February 24 to June 6, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 31,250 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military also claims that Russia has lost 1,386 tanks, 3,400 armored fighting vehicles, 690 artillery systems, 207 multiple launch rocket systems, 96 anti-aircraft systems, 211 warplanes, 176 helicopters, 2,395 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 vessels, 551 unmanned aerial vehicles, 53 units of special equipment, and 125 cruise missiles.

Last week, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that its Yars mobile missile systems, which can carry nuclear warheads and that boast a reported range of over 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles), were performing "intensive maneuvering operations on combat patrol routes in the Ivanovo Region," east of the Russian capital Moscow.

The shortest distance from Moscow to Los Angeles is about 6,070 miles.

3. If Putler orders that, I'm counting on his military taking him out instead

But maybe I'm giving humanity too much credit -- maybe we are stupid enough to destroy ourselves.

2. 6,200 miles would put the entire country in range

... but they already have plenty of ICBMs that can do that from fixed sites.
