Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-26

Indeed, Infantino is a new low and that's saying something.

Indeed, Infantino is a new low and that's saying something.

Yes. Truly yearning for the careful, responsible stewardship of Sepp Blatter

[Norgy]

When you make Blatter look good, you are really bad.

Who could have imagined this in 2022

This is World War I played out in miniature. A grinding stalemate.

Who knew this was the future of war?

21st Century Wars are truly nightmares. They all seem to last forever and don't really seem to have clear beginnings or ends, they just seem to slowly heat up and cook for years and years and years and slowly flame out with barely anything solved.

The front in Ukraine is about 2x the length of the Western front in WWI. The Russians have had roughly more causalities than the total number of all casualties on the Western front.  And the war is now about the length of WWI.

So not so miniature.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

I think you're off by an order of magnitude on World War I casualties on the Western Front.  That was about 13MM.

[crazy canuck]

Right you are, I was thinking deaths.  But even then I am off.  The death toll of the Russians is closer to that of the Central Powers on the Western Front.
