  It's really weird how Russian society doesn't react. No doubt propaganda and sheer ignorance is a huge factor, but it's hard to have over 100K deaths go unnoticed. The TV clips of "festive celebrations" on Russian state TV are strange given the backdrop of the war.
  One young woman is killed by the Iranian regime, and their citizens start revolting.
context: Just reading about the Bradley Fighting Vehicle... Russia has gotten itself into a complete morass. Just everything they bring to the field the rest of the world provides equal and opposite strength plus a bit more, bleeding them out.
  It's a fair argument that the restricted flow of equipment to Ukraine in one sense prolongs the fight but it casts the whole war as a situation that can cease anytime Russia wants it to by GTFO, which hopefully will mean a lasting peace. >

  That's a huge part of it. The strategy employed gives them minimal propaganda to use on their population. >

  Damn, it was barely 15 days ago when they reached 100k and now they stacked 10k more. >
  
  With the forced conscription and lack of training these numbers will accelerate. At this point Russia is just sending untrained men to their deaths. Things will really accelerate when Crimea becomes a focal point.
