In 10 years fighting in Afghanistan the soviets lost 15,000.

In 5 days in Ukraine, Russia has lost close to 6,000.

As has previously been said, Putin has called this one totally wrong. If they attempt to stay this will be Russia's Vietnam.

Former presidential candidate calls US arming of Mujahideen in 1980s ‘the model’ for helping Ukraine defeat Russia

Hillary Clinton has likened the Russian military operation in Ukraine to the Soviet Union’s 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, saying a similar outcome might be achieved by helping to arm Kiev’s resistance just like Washington backed Mujahideen fighters against its Cold War rival.

“Remember, the Russians invaded Afghanistan back in 1980 (sic),” the former US presidential candidate and ex-secretary of state said on Monday in an MSNBC interview. “And although no country went in, they certainly had a lot of countries supplying arms and advice and even some advisers to those who were recruited to fight Russia.”

As Clinton noted, the Afghanistan war “didn’t end well” for the Soviet Union, despite its status as a military superpower. “There were other unintended consequences, as we know,” she added with a smile – apparently referring to the fact that arming radical Islamists in Afghanistan gave rise to Al-Qaeda and led to 9/11 attacks in the US – “but the fact is that a very motivated and then funded and armed insurgency basically drove the Russians out of Afghanistan.”

Don't believe a word from Hillary she is medicated to the hilt.

That's awful. Really no need for that kind of crap.

It is... However, integration of people of the world is relatively new concept to Ukraine unlike us in the UK. We vote Brexit and Windrush happens!

I'll eat my hat if the Russians already lost 6000.

Idk if that will do anything. Only way to take down Russian websites is if you have a big botnet and you are coordinating with others. I've been in a discord this week where hundreds of people are DDOSing Russian websites at the same time.

Shows how desperate they must be if some go to Belarus.

Hopefully a few saboteurs.
