Someone should do a kill-upvote ratio, only then can Redditors make an informed decision on whether the price was worth the blood. Maybe update guidance to say only 100+ upvotes per death are worth it.

You severely overestimate the value neolib westerners place on human life. Remember that Washington sacrificed over a million americans to keep its economy running.

10 upvotes = 1 death
reddit gold = 100 deaths

https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/t51zpq
3.3k upvotes + 4 reddit gold = 730 deaths

Definitely worth it

Among the assistance Russia requested was pre-packaged, non-perishable military food kits, known in the US as "meal, ready-to-eat," or MREs, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Sound like humanitarian aid. Every ration China sends is one less stolen chicken or looted store in Ukraine. So indirectly it will give Ukrainian civilians more food.

To be fair the Russians should have been more ruthless since day 1. This restraint is being seen as a sign of weakness. The headlines is changing, if you check CNN it's about how brutal the Russian attacks, no more about how Ukrainians are courageously fighting and 'stalling' the Russians anymore. Its sounds more like they are losing. If you think logistics is bad for the Russians who has open lines back to Russia and Belarus with factories running 24hrs, what do you think the situation is with Ukraine with most of their military industrial complex destroyed. Wars are won with intact industrial bases producing weapons and food. Russia can keep on sustaining the war, Ukraine can't unless US and NATO sends supplies.

Russia has destroyed many or most of the major logistical gathering centers of Ukraine. Obviously, armaments can still be supplied in civilian cars and trucks and disguised medical vehicles, but that will be much less efficiently undertaken than in specifically designed armament trucks. Also non designated military buildings can also be utilized as a military logistics depot, even though doing so is much less effective than in actually specifically designed military ones.

Yep. It's a bit weird that they're claiming Putin would need to call up Xi to order MRE kits when he can just log on to taobao or alibaba and order as many as he needs. High quality and probably cheaper than it would cost to make one in Russia.

Xi should just send a shipment of these out as a gift to the Russian soldiers, those Ukrainian chickens are probably radioactive.

If the battle of Mauripol is any sign it’s that future urban battles in Odessa, Khariv, Chergniv, Sumy and Kiev will be a bloodbath. It’s going to be very slow and be a grind. The Ukrainian military strategy seems to be make the Russians pay for every inch they take. And maybe Russia needs more manpower to take the east. Which is weird they 200,000 force mobilized. I guess they’ll need 100k more. Southfront which is pro Russia website isn’t afraid to call out Russia’s limits and deficiencies.

“In the afternoon of March 14 and in the morning of March 15, the number of combat sorties of Russian aviation increased. Large groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the East of Ukraine continue the active defence of their positions. The number of Russian armed forces in Ukraine is objectively insufficient for fast and decisive flank coverage and encirclement of thousands of UAF troops on fortified positions. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was forced to change its initial tactics of “cavalry charge” to the systematic destruction of enemy forces and means using its advantage in aviation and artillery.”

Cavalry charge without actually having utilized any initial bombardment of the enemy, probing attacks of small combined arms assault, and heavy recon with fire, and without concurrently or preliminarily building forward operating bases in which to fall back on... No wonder in the first week Russian casualties were so heavy...
