Ukraine isn't capable of killing enough Russians to end the war that way.
I get that Russians are dumb and subjected to a lot of propaganda, but at some point they’re going to wake up and realize that the war in Ukraine isn’t worth it and that life with Putin in charge sucks a fat one. The more Russians that don’t come home to mommy and daddy, the sooner that recognition will happen.
Russia suffered more casualties in 1 week in Stalingrad than the US suffered from 1953-2023.
Russians aren't going to quit over casualties. That's a western habit.
To be honest, with your comment about the warfare and leveling cities, you have shown incompetence. You don't know much about urban warfare and what it takes when the enemy conducts fights from civilian infrastructure with all they got.
For the past 20 years the US used bomb / missile strikes on other countries 46 times per day every day.
... And did not level cities block by block with artillery, as Russia does, which is what I've been saying.
The US hasn't fought a real army in an actual urban environment since WW2.
Fighting gangs of thugs is NOT comparable to fighting an actual military.

Today’s Russians aren’t the 1940’s Soviets. Hundreds of thousands or millions of Russians left Russia at the thought of mobilization. Nobody is laying siege to Stalingrad, and even the dumbest of Russians know it.
This post is just embarrassing. Comparing a handful of thugs with AK's in a few buildings in Fallujah to a modern army entrenched in a city is completely disingenuous.
Regardless, the city was still pretty much leveled where ever fighting actually occurred.
"Fallujah suffered extensive damage to residences, mosques, city services, and businesses. The city, once referred to as the "City of Mosques", had over 200 pre-battle mosques of which 60 or so were destroyed in the fighting. Many of these mosques had been used as arms caches and weapon strongpoints by Islamist forces. Of the roughly 50,000 buildings in Fallujah, between 7,000 and 10,000 were estimated to have been destroyed in the offensive and from half to two-thirds of the remaining buildings had notable damage.[65][66]"
You know nothing. The insurgents in Fallujah were mostly former military from the Iraqi armed forces and had plenty of arms and ammunition thanks to the clueless US occupation that disbanded the Iraqi armed forces without first securing all their weapons.
The damage in Fallujah was nothing compared to what Russia has done in Bakhmut and previously in Aleppo and Grozny. US forces only used heavy weapons to take out buildings when they were actively being used by insurgents. US forces could have very easily just leveled all of Fallujah with cruise missiles and carpet bombing, and mop up anything that is still standing with tanks, mortars and black hawks. That was not an options due to the political optics of US forces leveling a Muslim city in order to avoid dangerous urban warfare.
Having actually participated in urban combat in Iraq I'd say a know a hell of a lot more than you do.
The Iraqi armed forces were complete garbage. Insurgents being former members of an awful military isn't the feather in their cap you think it is.
Regardless, they were poorly equipped. They had ZERO armor or mechanized support. The has ZERO artillery beyond inaccurate home made mortars and rockets.
"US forces only used heavy weapons to take out buildings when they were actively being used by insurgents."
Ukraine has been destroying their own buildings in Bakhmut to deny their use to the enemy when they retreat.
If the buildings are defended they are destroyed by air strikes or artillery rather than stormed. This is how EVERYONE does it.

The culture is still the culture. Russians are not as bothered by casualties as the west is. They are literally waging a war of attrition in Ukraine right now because they know they can bleed more than Ukraine can.

Hint - Russian “culture” has changed a lot in the last 75+ years. If they’re waging a war of attrition, and by some estimates killed only 15k Ukrainian soldiers in the last year, then they’re never going to win a war of attrition, or any other war.

7 Ukraine casualties for every Russian casualty. This recent series of hypersonic missile strikes, none of which were intercepted, have devastated Ukraine’s ability to launch that promised spring counteroffensive. Things are very dire for Ukraine. But, it will still take considerable time for Russia to de-mine the fields and check every foxhole as they March to the Polish border.

"Still, the document, based on the Ukrainian communication to member states, media reports, and intelligence leaks, assessed that the Ukrainian losses are lower than the US estimates."
Don't be so naive...
Anyone who tells you only 13,000 Ukrainians have been killed is an idiot or working Ukraine's PR's department.

They were using that ridiculous 13k number in December of 2022.

Not that far off from US estimates of 17.5k Ukrainian KIA. Despite your wishes, the Russian army is just not that effective and will never attrite the Ukrainian army as long as NATO countries continue to support Ukraine with a fraction of their military budget.

Tell that to Bakhmut or the 2k+ Ukrainians who died in the counter-offensive this past week trying to save it.
Artillery is very effective at killing people no matter how fancy their weapons are or who's paying their bills.

With that joke of an army they won't be gaining any thing either, so why are they still there, they can't figure out they suck?
