Ukraine has sustained two-thirds as many casualties as Russia, but with a third to a quarter of Russia’s population.

Yes, Russia is sustaining 33% more casualities than Ukraine. However, Russia's conscript pool is 66 to 75 percent larger than Ukraine's.

Absent NATO or other outside forces in meaningful numbers fighting for Ukraine, the numbers indicate that Russia will ultimately win their war of attrition.

it's not 33% more, it's 50% (1 divided by 2/3 = 1.5)

Russia's conscript pool is 66 to 75 percent larger than Ukraine's

sure, on paper ... but on paper, the Mets should have won the World Series last year

and Russia hasn't had to draw from their pampered Europeans yet .. . when that happens, there will be a big drop in support for the war
