Never underestimate the ability of authoritarian idiots to convince themselves the strategy that has failed 100 times will succeed because they came up with the strategy.

On a serious note I am sure a lot of russians who died there were clueless, desperate and maybe not even russian, maybe they didn’t even sign up to be soldiers…
I don’t say this to center russians or russia here, russia could have stopped this war at any point up until now and anybody who signs up to work in russia should know what they are getting into.
I make this point to emphasize how pointless, futile, cruel and wasteful this is. Not only is russia’s cause here wrong, they can never win like this, not even if every dice roll comes up lucky for them for the next six months straight.
Further, and this is something I don’t think is being talked about anywhere near enough, while the widespread use of FPV drones has allowed Ukraine to turn the tide of history insofar as the global elite assumed it would go on both sides, it has done so through placing an immense burden of trauma on Ukrainian FPV operators who have repeatedly had to kill human beings while seeing the violence up close and personal.
This is the scene of some true pointless cosmic horror, which I say as a compliment to the Ukrainian fighters but still even they walk away with the burden of having to have been the wall that obliterated countless human bodies, which is an independent trauma to whether it had to be done or not.
