#2. That was 9/11, Russia's invasion is military killed in action. A better comparison would be to the U.S. Military Death Gratuity, which is currently $100,000. The U.S. gratuity is under existing U.S. law, whereas the Russian payment did not exist until now.

You mean thanks Brandon. The US dollar is about as worthless as a used sheet of toilet paper.

The total benefits for the Russian are likely around $320,000 with state and local compensations.

You are talking about the figures for last year. As of May 2022 the national average is 67,000 per month.

4 million Rubles to each family?

Stupid article written by stupid journalist who never learned the meaning of the word "each."

"These Russkie troops are worth more dead than alive to their families."

Some of them. Many are intentionally left behind, so that they are missing in action. No evidence, no money.

Your “mistake” almost makes sense. The Russians will have to find a way to sell their oil in order to pay off $80k (USD) for each soldier!

I wondered if we have anything like that. I see that the family of a U.S. soldier that dies in service (or in travel while in the service) receives a “Death Gratuity” of $100,000.

So the families get to split $5 mill...like 100k ways? That’s 50 rubles per head...

Might buy a handkerchief for their moms to cry into.

Go Russia...you suck!

On the hook for a minimum of 150 trillion rubles or US$2.5 trillion. He must be counting on increased oil sales and rising prices.

My guess is that it’s likely to never happen. That’s what Russia is like. They announce things, but never do them. It works for them because Russians are stupid.

Here’s an example from the past.

>Jan. 27, 2006

>A leading Russian space executive says his company is considering plans to set up a permanent moon base by 2015

Russia lovers cheered. Doomers doomed and said how this is another sign of us losing.

In the end it is now 2022 and Russia hasn’t done nothing.

That’s overdue. Telegram is full of Russian families waving payouts which aren’t enough to buy a second hand car with.
