    That’s how the Russian army works. Legitimately look at every front in modern history, hell you can go back pretty far.

    Russians know how to do one thing, die. They win wars by attrition. They slow down armies with winter or their own corpses.

    Russian war isn’t a strategy, it’s a death pact.

        They did spend millions of lives against the Nazis, that’s true! Their leadership spent tens of millions of lives sending undertrained and underequipped troops to die and be forgotten or be captured and tortured and killed by the nazis.

        Spent lives like no other group in the war, but they got em! They keep an entire front stalemated on a pile of sacrificed young Russian men. And for some reason that’s just how they do it in Russia.
