Vladimir Putin’s regime is in its death throes. His “special
military operation”, far from disarming Ukraine, has only
succeeded in disarming Russia. Moscow has lost over 220,000
soldiers to death or injury alongside 1,900 tanks. These
are the sort of numbers we associate with the first world
war; modern militaries are rarely built to handle such
catastrophic losses.

It’s no wonder that videos on social media appear to show
burgeoning mutinies in the ranks of Russian units, or
the much-feared criminals of the Wagner group complaining
that they have no ammunition. The fighting around Bakhmut
resembles Passchendaele or the Somme, with barely trained
recruits sent into killzones to die.

So desperate is Russia for manpower that I am now hearing
credible reports that the Kremlin has identified around
4 million people across the country that it believes could
be press-ganged into the army.

.. . .

Those who survived WW-1 are sometimes referred to as
the "Lost Generation" because SO many young men were
slaughtered in the conflict. The impact was worst in
the UK, but its allies also suffered greatly.

It appears that Putin has caused a new Russian
"lost generation".

Russia took horrific losses in WW2 - so many that it
HID the numbers for decades. However WW2 was imposed
on Russia, THIS conflict is BECAUSE of Russia - and
Putin's dreams of eternal significance.

Without ice cream life and fame are meaningless.
