NBC News notes the staggering casualties suffered by Russia in Putin’s War:
The Russian military will likely surpass 1 million casualties in its war on Ukraine this summer, according to one of the world’s leading think tanks, reflecting the staggering human toll of President Vladimir Putin’s assault on his neighbor.
Around 250,000 of these Russian soldiers have died, the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report Tuesday.
Surpassing 1 million killed and wounded would be “a stunning” and grisly milestone for Russia and showed “Putin’s blatant disregard for his soldiers,” according to the report. To put this figure in historical perspective, it is five times as many deaths as all Soviet and Russian wars since World War II.
It’s also worth remembering that President Trump has expressed frustration with President Putin’s continued prosecution of his war. So my proposal integrates these two observations, adds in Trump’s sneakiness, and is this:
The Trump Administration should leak that its plans for the partitioning of Russia by United States grifters is nearing completion.
That might get Putin to sue for peace.
