SECOND Russia is drafting 134,000. Logic says that Russia is approaching 134,000 dead/wounded in Ukraine, and these new bodies are replacements for dead/wounded soldiers. Here is the news story:

Russia has converted a meatpacking plant in the occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol into a morgue that is now "completely filled" with the bodies of killed Russian servicemen, according to a report issued Thursday by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry.



Heheheh

How much did you pay for gas today, Cap'n?

I see you two dumb shits didn't post at all outside of the Russian threads today.

Lots of other things going on that people actually care about.

Russia has not needed to release a revised death toll since March 25, when 1,351 Russian soldiers and officers had been killed in Ukraine, because none died since then. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-ban-military-casualties/31887084.html

Bad soldiers (that's Russians) survive battles only because of dumb luck. Good soldiers (that's Americans) die in battle only when the enemy gets lucky. You can see the proof of that (at least for America, there are no figures for Russia) in American military deaths. The USA fights all over the world, and killed a million or more, but an American soldier is 3 times more likely to die while back in the USA than while they are fighting overseas:

Trends in Active-Duty Military Deaths Since 2006

Between 2006 and 2021, a total of 18,571 active-duty personnel have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Of those 18,571 deaths, approximately 13,969 service members have died in circumstances unrelated to Overseas Contingency Operations since 2006. The details are here: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/IF10899.pdf

Russia does not publicize a count of their dead soldiers, probably for the same reason as 27 million Russians died in WWII. The Kremlin need not count dead because deaths are unimportant and dull statistics, not tragedies. There so many excess millions of Russian peasants and none of them are worth the effort by Putin to keep track of when they die.

You should buy the stocks of oil companies instead of buying gasoline. Capitalism is a wondrous thing, but only for Capitalists, not for consumers of gasoline. The story from Britain, where Democrats have zero control: Refineries cash in as gasoline prices soar. Gasoline prices are at an all-time high though the oil price remains well below record levels.

Wednesday saw the fastest rise in petrol prices for seventeen years, and on Thursday the cost of filling a typical family car passed £100 for the first time, piling costs on motorists. That has lead to billions of pounds of extra profit for oil producers, and led the UK government to impose a £5bn windfall tax on North Sea oil producers. “The refiners are printing money at the moment,” says Neil Crosby, senior analyst at the data firm OilX. “More than they have ever witnessed.”

Heard it before.

Not a winning message.

Oh... P.S. to everyone else. Don't listen to Second about buying oil stocks now.

You'd be like those poor schmucks who bought Netflix when it was over $600.

Second is not rich. Second can barely wipe his own ass. Do not take financial advice from people who can't wipe their own ass.

58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties in the Vietnam War. The other side? 3 million. I'd explain that the ratio of deaths on one side to other side shows that one side didn't know what the hell they were doing because their strategy was to pile up dead Vietnamese until the USA got disgusted and quit but you'd be too stupid to understand. Russia had 27 million dead in WWII versus Germany's 7 million dead (where America killed at least half of them) which showed that Russians didn't know what the hell they were doing other than to throw another million dead Russians at Germany. The US Army saved Russia's stupid Army from being annihilated by Germany, a far smaller nation. Signym couldn't understand that Russians were deeply incompetent fighters. How many Americans died? A few hundred thousand, not Russia's 27 million peasants, almost worthless in a fight because they fought with greater stupidity than any other nation in history.

Fortunately for Russia, Ukraine has an even smaller population than Germany. And Ukrainians aren't as smart fighters as Germans. Russia could win, given enough time and enough dead Russians hurled at the Ukrainians. It worked in WWII. That deeply stupid Russian strategy could work again.

Russia's attack on Ukraine has become a war of artillery, and Ukraine is at risk of losing, according to the deputy head of Ukrainian military intelligence.

Vadym Skibitsky told The Guardian in an interview published Friday that Ukraine is now heavily reliant on weapons provided by the West in its counteroffensive against Russia. Russia, meanwhile, currently outranks Ukraine in terms of artillery supplies, according to the official.

"Everything now depends on what [the West] gives us," Skibitsky said. "Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces. Our Western partners have given us about 10 percent of what they have."

While there are indications that neither Russia nor Ukraine is currently poised to score a decisive victory in the conflict, Skibitsky's comments indicate that weapons, or a lack thereof, may serve as a tipping point in the ongoing "artillery war." Maps with assessments of territorial control in Ukraine, which are shared daily by the Institute for the Study of War, show that Russia and Ukraine have only been gaining and losing land in small increments in recent weeks.

Skibitsky told The Guardian that Ukraine is using between 5,000 and 6,000 artillery rounds every day. They have nearly run out of their own 152 mm-caliber artillery ammunition and are using NATO-standard 155 mm-caliber shells, he said.

Skibitsky said that even Ukraine's Western arms suppliers are beginning to run low on stock.

"Europe is also delivering lower-caliber shells but as Europe runs out, the amount is getting smaller," he said.

While Ukraine barrels through its ammunition and arms supplies, it is also reportedly seeing heavy daily losses in terms of manpower. An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the BBC this week that 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops are being killed every day on the war's front line.

Russia should feel great pride in its military. The strategy for having more of everything is brilliant.
