Out of the half a million troops killed I wonder how many were actually Russians? Doesn’t look like things are working out for them.

In context of the war, this number is more relevant. Dead or too injured to fight, fewer troops are fewer troops. It doesn’t really matter what percentage in that 466,150 number are still alive when it comes to Russia’s chances against the Ukrainian military.

Russia has more to spend. Ukraine doesn’t which is becoming more and more apparent. Luckily that US bill was approved. But still there will need to be some immense luck and enginuity for Ukraine not to fall. Not to mention for Europe to stop this common delusion, come together and form a modern and strong army to step behind Ukraine with long term support. Probably with soldiers as well.
How is having more money going to put more people on the ground?
They meant Russia has more bodies to spend
If you can expend more artillery, you can use less soldiers.
You can’t capture a city with artillery.
No, that’d be weird. You use artillery and soldiers.
The less soldiers you lose, the more you have left.
You can lay siege though. Bomb anything going out or in.
When you have better tech, you need fewer soldiers. It’s the same with artillery as it is with drones.

I do kind of feel good when i see aggressor troops fall/perish . At least that soldier can’t kill anymore defenders, so it’s like a +X ukrainian lives lootdrop that pop’s out of them. I’m not happy a human is now dead, but I am happy that there is one soldier less in poot poot’s army killing other people in their home country.
Cough Vietnam, cough Falklands, sniffle gulf war.
Do you feel the same when it’s the “good guys” doing it?
Sure! Aggressors can fuck right off :)
If you loose an arm or a leg as a russian fighter, you are not gonna survive. Doubtful you will even be looked at twice. A wounded russian is a MIA russian. Russia is a cold place. Not just literally.
