1. This is such a disgusting waste of life. I definitely don't want the Russians to win but this is sickening.

They should be in open revolt back in Russia. Police are starting to refuse to arrest protesters. Hopefully the revolts will happen sooner rather than later. Russia has lost 1.6M troops so far in an area much smaller than all the places they fought in WWII.

How do they explain this to the general population?
