      100,000 “russian” soldiers get sent to a farm upstate.

      The question is, how many non-russians will be sent with them? Obviously as few as possible but any number based on logic is too many.

    100,000 soldiers for a summer offensive. They lose about 1000 soldiers a day. So it’ll be just over three months before they are gone. June, July, August.

    They’re going to need another 100,000 after that.

    That is horrible, hopefully the artillery issues are resolved by then. It will be another summer of the Ukranian meat grinder running overtime. The Russians will be closing in on a half million casualties…
