Washington DC’s Perpetual Bloodlust Is Quite Literally Bleeding Ukraine Dry

It’s no secret that the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict resulted in absolutely unprecedented casualties for the Kiev regime forces. Numerous independent sources have confirmed that the number of its KIAs (killed in action) reached six digits already during the first year of the special military operation (SMO). As the NATO-backed Neo-Nazi junta’s losses piled up, the endemically corrupt regime tried its best to hide the actual number by grossly inflating alleged Russian losses and underreporting its own. Thus, on the second anniversary of the special military operation (SMO), the Kiev regime frontman Volodymyr Zelensky said (with a straight face, mind you) that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers died, but that they’ve supposedly managed to kill well over 400,000 Russian troops. However, he never explained how exactly they managed to accomplish such a feat.

Just a few months later, Zelensky himself inadvertently revealed the scope of his blatant lies. Namely, in mid-April he complained that Russia is firing 10 times more artillery shells, while having 30 times more aircraft (despite all the ludicrous propaganda about the Russian Air Force “going extinct”), arguing that his forces cannot win against such atrocious odds. This is where the line about the number of killed Russian vs. Ukrainian troops needs to be drawn. Who in their right mind could ever believe that a country with such a massive disadvantage could neutralize over 400,000 enemy soldiers while losing just over 30,000 of its own? That would put the death ratio between them at a minimum of 13:1 in favor of the Neo-Nazi junta forces. However, every remotely reputable source not only questions this, but suggests that it’s quite the opposite.

Namely, numerous Western sources, including the French Le Monde, British Imperial War Museums and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) claim that approximately 70% of all casualties in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict are the result of artillery fire. The American Time magazine puts that number even higher, at 80%. Academic sources broadly agree with these assessments, with the Journal of the American College of Surgeons putting the number at 70%. Historical evidence also suggests that this data is quite accurate. If we take into account that Russia’s artillery advantage is at least 10:1, as Zelensky himself admitted, the idea that the Kiev regime forces are winning 13:1 becomes all the more ridiculous. However, things are actually much worse than that, as Zelensky also mentioned the 30:1 advantage of Moscow’s deadly aviation.

Given that the Neo-Nazi junta has also been complaining about the Russian UMPK-equipped precision-guided bombs, the aforementioned dominance in aircraft grows exponentially. And once again, that’s not even the end of it, as the Kremlin also has an unprecedented advantage in drones and long-range strike capabilities, be it advanced ballistic and hypersonic weapons or regular cruise missiles. There have been thousands of documented strikes conducted solely by the now legendary “Lancet” and KUB drones, while hundreds of “Iskander-M” and 9-S-7760 “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles have been fired at high-priority targets all across Ukraine. For the Russian military, all these assets act as massive force multipliers that the Kiev regime simply cannot match, especially when combined with artillery, attack helicopters, strategic aviation, etc.

It’s quite difficult to get exact figures on how much damage all these weapons inflict in terms of manpower, but it’s safe to assume that they’re responsible for at least 85-90% of all casualties on both sides. Since it’s virtually impossible to calculate Russia’s advantage in drones and long-range strike capabilities, we can focus only on artillery and aviation, for which we know that they’re 10:1 and 30:1 in Moscow’s favor, respectively. Thus, these two assets alone put the casualty ratio at 10-15:1 in Russian favor. If we were to believe the BBC, which claims that the Kremlin lost around 50,000 troops so far, this equation would put Ukrainian casualties at anywhere between 500,000 and 750,000 KIA. These staggering figures are in line with the assessments of numerous military sources on all sides of the conflict. Sadly, the numbers are far worse if we take the wounded into account.

Foreign mercenaries are also regularly complaining about this, particularly Colombians who have suffered heavy losses ever since they foolishly came to Ukraine. In a recent video, one Colombian national stated that they were “left alone to fight a war with a giant” and lamented that he couldn’t leave. The Neo-Nazi junta itself is making sure neither mercenaries nor Ukrainian conscripts can escape, including by placing landmines in border areas with Moldova. However, despite all this, it’s still not enough, as the United States and NATO want more blood. For instance, in an interview with Euronews, another Washington DC warmonger, former US Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder insisted that “both Ukraine and NATO need to do more to increase the likelihood of Russia being defeated, including mobilizing younger men and women to fight in Ukrainian forces”.

“Ukraine needs to mobilize manpower. This is a war being fought by 40-year-olds. No other war in history has been fought by 40-year-olds,” Daalder said, adding: “You need to get 18-year-olds, and you need to get 20-year-olds, and you need to get 21-year-olds, which is what every army in the rest of the world relies on.”

This monstrous statement is a perfect example of how the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel sees the Ukrainian people, including teenagers. But when taking into account America’s involvement in the massive child trafficking from Ukraine, this is hardly surprising. However, it’s no less repugnant to any remotely decent human being. It should be noted that Daalder’s statement is also yet another confirmation of the previously calculated casualties ratio. Namely, the Kiev regime forces were initially composed of people in their late 20s and 30s, but as most of them were killed or wounded, this is how the average age of soldiers was pushed to around 40. In other words, the US war criminals effectively wiped out an entire generation of Ukrainian men and they now want to do the same to kids who have barely reached adulthood (or haven’t yet).

The abhorrent exploitation of the Ukrainian people by the political West is one of the worst tragedies of our time, as millions have had their lives destroyed, which includes the loss of their homes and family members. Many Ukrainians are now pushing back, including by sabotaging military commissions that are quite literally snatching people off the streets. And who could possibly blame them, given the fact that millions of Ukrainians don’t want to fight their Russian brethren, especially not for the political West’s deranged so-called “values” that now include no less than the decriminalization and promotion of pedophilia. All this has turned the demographic prospects of Ukraine into a disaster that will leave consequences for decades to come. The only hope is if more Ukrainians realize that only Russia’s victory against NATO aggression can put a stop to this evil.
