Bloomberg reported on the stunning numbers in a Thursday article, noting that Russia is now losing more men than it is able to recruit.
Alex Wickham, the UK Political Editor for Bloomberg, shared the report on X and noted, “ Russia sustained around 9,000 more battlefield losses than it was able to replace in January, according to assessments from Western officials.”

The similarities between 1980s Afghanistan and the Ukraine now are obvious.
They are both wars created by the US, using entities we paid and armed.
In Afghanistan it was the Mujahideen being given the latest US Stinger missiles.
While in the Ukraine Hunter Biden was the bagman for the bribed to the ethnic Polish generals for the Maidan Coup in 2014, and clearly we are sending hundreds of billions worth of our latest weapons there.
In fact, I doubt we could have trained Ukrainians in time, so I believe it is US soldiers who are actually guiding US missiles and drones, to fight the Russians, and not Ukrainians.

The difference is that almost half if the Ukraine are still ethnic Russian natives, since the Old Polish invasion was defeated around 1700.
And that unlike Afghanistan which Russia could just close off from, the Ukraine is inside the Russian defense grid, so can never be abandoned to the west.
So we easily won in Afghanistan, but it should be obvious we can not possibly win in the Ukraine.
The Ukraine is a life or death struggle to Russia that would force the use of nuclear weapons before Russia could give up the Ukraine.
