Ukraine has sustained two-thirds as many casualties as Russia

or put another way, Russia has 1.5X as many casualties as Ukraine, or 50% more

and this admission from a Chinese Commie rag, too

While numerous other options were possible before the SMO started and even early into the SMO, given the statements from the Neocons and their European Puppets over the past year, it’s clear to me (and many others) that the Russians have only two ways to end this war (short of WW3), which are the following:

1: Total liberation of Ukraine from Western Colonialists followed by Russian occupation, with possible full incorporation by Russia.
2: Ukraine (or what remains of it) is effectively occupied by a third party, trusted by them and Russia.

The first option is what seemed to many to be the only choice for Russia, as it is the only sure way to prevent what remains of Ukraine from being armed to the teeth by NATO.

The second option is new and China might be willing to provide the manpower to make sure NATO doesn’t get cute again with Ukraine. It would certainly be FUN to see how the Neocons deal with that!
