between the russian and ukrainian people that don't want the war. told that this is a peacekeeping operation to remove nazis and that's false. and the russian people have not had to bear the cost yet with regards to casualtys. those seem to be pouring in by the thousands by ukrainian accounts. if that is true that is a lot of casualties. during afghanistan 15,000 russian soldiers died. 45,000 -- 5,000 have potentially died here and the sanctions haven't been priced in so putin has a lot of instability to face in the short term that he wasn't counting on. he counted on a swift victory. he has bad options likely to get worse as the campaign grinds on.
