Hilarious short Halloween “pets in costumes” video, scaring the bejeezus out of their fellow critters.
We’re all familiar with the observation that, “If a trend can’t continue, it won’t.” So I’m having trouble getting my head around this story from Bloomberg (can’t get around the paywall so I’ll just post this bit of it.)
Russian Army Suffers Record Losses in Ukraine as Land Gains Slip
Summary by Bloomberg AI
• The Russian military suffered record casualties in Ukraine last month, with more than 54,000 troops killed and heavily wounded, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
• Kyiv’s forces have regained more territory than Russia was able to seize for the second month running, including losing territory in the key eastern Donbas region.
• Russia has gained less than 1,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since the beginning of this year, a sharp decline from the same period last year, according to a Ukrainian open-source collective.
This has been going on since early 2022. AI tells me the Russians have suffered over 1.5 million casualties. They’re roughly half our size so that would be like us suffering more than 3 million. We haven’t suffered that many casualties in all our wars combined. How does this continue without something breaking?
It continues because The Man on The Pony, Vladdy, fears becoming a Norwegian Blue. Only one life is worth preserving.
Also, Mike Plaiss, I think it may be that ethnic Russians are not the majority of the dead and severely injured. Putin is sending cannon fodder from the “Stans.”
