He’s been pretty accurate in his assessments, with a very few not spot on. This assessment based totally on history and the numbers, probably spot on.

The one thing he did say that wasn’t correct, according to British and US intel, russian casualties are close to 200k not 100k.

The other thing he never really brings into his assessments regarding the Ukraine war, and I understand why because he deals in hard facts, is the willingness and utter determination of these ppl. Not something that can be measured. The Ukrainians as he mentioned, have continually and consistently surprised us. This will be Russia’s downfall!

Slava Ukraine!

and the wounded are likely double that. So yeah, catastrophic.

There's another way Russian wars end, the guys at the front say "fuck the officers, let's go home" and Russia ends up in a civil war.

Nobody's seen the real Putin for a while now. I have to wonder if it's time to start betting on when the 3 days of "Swan Lake" start before they announce the new Czar, same as the old Czar unless he dies in a more timely manner.

The number of Russian troops who have either died or were left wounded in the continuing war in Ukraine is nearing 200,000, according to a report that cited US and Western officials.
