Anyway, I just thought I should show some love, which you guys very much deserve. Thanks again!

The retreat has started a few days ago and is about wrapping up right now. Avdiivka was mainly serving as a drain on Russian resources and with the breaches in several locations into the city, the K/D ratios stopped favoring Ukrainians to such an insane degree as it was a month or two ago. For political reasons, it would have probably helped if Ukraine lasted until Russian presidential elections next month, but only Russia ever put any stock into political goals at the cost of men, so Mariupol style defense was highly unlikely in the first place. The decision was pretty obvious; the biggest question was of when it will happen and not if.

Mind your own business

You need to look at what part of the economy of Russia has grown, which is the military, the avg russian does not see any benefit and has a weaker economy than pre-war. As an example, Nazi Germany produced the most amount of planes in 1944, would you say they were winning in 1944?

They transition from a Peace economy to a part war economy pretty successful. Also they still doing business with EU selling oil through indian ports ( to avoid the embargo)and using Greek oil tankers.

Don't believe everything you've heard. You don't have to be an expert to see that Russia suffers from this war.

It is natural when a country spends 40% of its annual budget on defense orders. For the same reason, the allocation of US arms to Ukraine raises the GDP of the states where these arms are produced. Bringing Russia to economic collapse did not work and will not work in the next few years. It is necessary to strike at the capabilities of the military-industrial complex and, in particular, at the possibilities of creating heavy weapons, which seems to be happening successfully.

Yes, the average Russian grocery bill is 4-5 times smaller than the American grocery bill, but the average Russian salary is 7-8 times smaller.

​@@KingsandGeneralsAccording to a post by Newsweek two days ago, Avg Russian Monthly Salary is $787 while in the US its $1142 weekly. Divide the former by 4 and than divide the latter by that number and the it's just 5.8 times difference.

let's also not forget while the casualties are horrible they are relatively minor compared WW1 (2 million Russian deaths) and especially WW2 (20-25M Russian Deaths). About 100K russians have died, or about 0.1% of the population. So a town of 1000 people will have lost 1 man. It's not likely such casualties will lead to a revolution.

​@@daarom3472 Looking at it by pure numbers ignores the stark differences between those wars and this one. 1) Those were *world* wars, multinational conflicts where the narrative in Russia focuses on the impact of responsibility for its end from the Russian population, a huge point of Russian nationalism. Even the most propagandic take of the Ukraine "security operation" will admit pan-Russian nationalism is a primary stake of the war, and it's harder to draw a direct line from it to survival in this case. 2) Most of the Russian involvement in WW1 and WW2 was defending their own national territory, tying back to #1. It was a lot easier to wave off the dissent in the SSRs and occupied former Imperial Russian territory when Russian Soviet leadership could take credit for defending against the Nazis, who were open about their hatred of Slavs even while they employed them and killed many indiscriminately for existing. Putin's claims of "danazifying" Ukraine have affected all they would have, and the longer the war goes on the less ppl will believe it, especially when open neo-Nazis and white supremacist organizations claim allegiance with Putin. 3) We live in a time where every death can be counted in real-time and it's easier to connect with ppl who knew them and share their stories. The better media transparency and faster delivery of the 60s is what made the Vietnam War become widely unpopular in the U.S. in only a few years, because anyone still undecided was exposed to the realities of the war, something which was covered up for Americans in WW2. The current Russian state is too disorganized to prevent information from leaking in - or out - forever, and it's opposed by nations and groups that are very, very good at getting past information walls when they want to. 4) With all of the above together, Russians are more likely to be aware of the deaths occurring and less likely to be completely supportive of all of the causes. Those who are really going to be affected are probably non-Russian minorities, who are aware of how the Russian governments have used them as cannon fodder in every past war. Even when Russian forces were clandestinely involved in the Donbass rebellion, they were sending ethnic Kazakh troops to support the rebels (at least one of them accidentally geo-tagged himself in a selfie). All the factors involved there are many of the precedents for ethnic rebellions in autocratic states. That could galvanize white Russians to want to hold the country together, or it could spark a wave of dissension over all of the deaths, crashing economy and loss of Russian reputation for a war that's questionable at best even for Russian patriotism.
