So nice you said it twice.

I agree and I don't want anything I've said to imply that the above isn't true. It is.  I just hate to see lives ended and ruined if it's avoidable, I can't think of anything worse than claiming to support freedom and human rights and all the rest and not using the resources we have in that end. I know that's a simplistic and naive take. But I'm darkly cynical most of the time. Sometimes I need to dream.

If the short term alternative is death, a possible future cost is irrelevant. If they lose, they never pay any of that cost anyway. They just die. And every deal is subject to renegotiation later on.

But you never cared what happens to them anyway, so it makes sense you would just provide an example of what I posted.

There are arguments that losing the Revolutionary War was the best possible outcome for Britain.  The colonies were a huge financial and military millstone due to high development costs and conflict with the French and Indians, the United States took over all the burdens while remaining tied to Britain's export market and trading their agricultural product and resources at low cost for British factory goods for a century, Britain kept the lucrative Caribbean islands until the 1960's, Napoleon was rather troublesome but the French Revolution largely inspired/caused by the American Revolution ultimately eliminated France and Spain as threats, and the Americans remained interested enough in Europe to rescue Britain in two consecutive world wars, but not interested enough to attempt conquering any of Europe or Britain for themselves.

For the sake of argument, let's say 700 men are getting wounded per day.

Where they are going is back to Mother Russia and their village or city.

Do you think that news won't start infiltrating the general population about how fucked up the situation is in Ukraine?

Commander's extorting 1/3 of your pay or else you get sent to the front line.

The beatings and general drunkenness of the army in general.

100 out of 120 soldiers killed in a unit within a couple of months.

Poor healthcare for the wounded.

This will affect Russia for at least two decades after this is all over.

The scale of it is new, but that's pretty much Russia since the Tsar.  The entire soviet era, Chernobyl, the various disasters in the closed military cities, shooting down airliners, Afghanistan, Beslan, The Kursk sinking, it's all the same pattern.  The Russian people either don't see it that way or don't react the way a citizen of a western culture would.  Either way ascribing western reactions to this situation probably won't be how it goes down, but maybe.

I do not speak a second language, so I most likely missed many sources that don't have an English version, but what I did see/read was predicting a longer war.
For my part I actively sought Euro news as the US version was so clearly in the tank for the short war.

If it was really just days is debatable, but they were sure that the Russians would take over Ukraine shortly and present a serious problem for the rest of western Europe.

If Germany does find themselves in a war in the next 50 years they're going to be filling boxes quite rapidly (with their own soldiers). The German fighting spirit has been tempered greatly in the past 80 years. All of Europe talked a big game about arming back up, but they've done little but talk. They don't have the money or the will to 1) Re-arm, 2) Maintain their nanny state, 3) Reform their regulation-filled economy, 4) Take in every refugee in the world, 5) Make their taxes competitive, 6) Invest in technology, and 7) Make everything run on unicorn farts and smile energy. Europe will do what they do best, talk about their problems, then bureaucrats will reconvene at another 5 start resort hotel in a year to discuss this situation further.

He's already been successful. George Soros sees the EU as the model for the Popper Communism model he adores. Ukraine is the test bed. The idea was to replace the existing bureaucracy aligned with Russia to one aligned with the EU. All the bureaucratic jobs are filled with Ukrainians aligned with the EU  (Western Ukes) and with former EU bureaucrats beholden to Soros for their high paying jobs associated with Ukraine or actually in Ukraine. Soros NGO played a major role in switching out the Uke government peeps, especially the ones that were hired for the corruption bureau (this was made possible by Poroshenko passing laws to make it so after their 'revolution').

The coolest part of that happening would be that either the Ukrainians gained a shitload more distance inside Russia or the Storm Shadow somehow doubled in range.  

I'm not holding my breath for either one, but feel free to wake me up if one happens. The reality is Ukraine is now losing ground in Kursk and I'm willing to bet the UK has shit for missiles in inventory, just like the rest of their stockpiles.

The key eastern Ukraine city of Pokrovsk is without a drinking water supply or natural gas for cooking and heating, authorities said, as the Russian army’s attritional slog across the Donetsk region lays waste to public infrastructure and forces civilians to flee their homes.

But they're not, though.  For the most part they're being forced back to the front lines, or at least into rear areas.  Even last year, one group made a protest video that they'd all been wounded repeatedly and were still sent back to the front to die rather than letting them go home.  The Russian military doesn't want word leaking back home, even though it does anyway.

There's a darkly hilarious video of two chmobiks with leg injuries slowly hobbling around an encampment with one crutch apiece (having to use tree branches for their second crutches).  It's like with Nagants except with crutches -- only one each, if the first man dies then the second man gets a second crutch.

Or, if you go way back, remember the drone-grenade-through-the-sunroof incident?  One of the chmobiks in the car had a full-length cast on one leg.  It's not like he'd been sent home after getting it put on, he was still in a forward area with fighting going on -- Ukraine hadn't developed long range quadcopters back then, they were still using Mavics with a 5km maximum range.  So that guy was within three miles of the front lines.
