I can't get over how many people that is. He should have left a long time ago. These are all of his men in their prime.

"Taking" is what we're calling "kidnapping for raping, and/or indoctrination, interrogation, torture, etc.", now?

Hey, at least it's ambulatory. No wheelbarrows/trucks needed! Like surprise seed bombs that only need a little nudge from a trusty democracy delivery tool to get them cookin'. ☝🏼

Hunh? Ukraine is known for its sunflowers. Hell, they're a point of cultural pride, no less. Because they're beautiful! 🥳

So are the flowers. 🥰

If they are losing more then surely it would eventually get to a point when we start to see a Ukrainian breakthrough and likely even higher losses/captured.

I am not sure politically Ukraine would go for a massive breakthrough, maybe, but what I think is more likely is Ukraine will slice russia's purposefully diffused offensive lines up into little pieces (since russia optimized for small unit infilitration, this is the unavoidable tradeoff, russia has no concentation of power and no authority over moving large concentrations of power), enclose them and simultaneously pull off large sections of russia's frontline forces from the board leaving the rest in panic.

Well, not likely a breakthrough. As we are seeing in the Russian numbers taking territories incurs more losses than defending territory. Russia is still advancing though making no significant gains.

Even with the amazing combined arms Ukraine has moving from defensive positions to offensive ones you need to outnumber the now defenders. It’s going to be hard for Ukraine to have the numerical advantage in anything more that small specific pockets of the battlefield.

A big breakthrough just isn’t in the cards until there are 100’s of thousands of robots or a country steps up with troops to support Ukraine.

Putin has made it so he has an unlimited ability to mobilize. It's all based on how far he can push the different means of mobilization.
Before the election they kept id "modest" at about 1000 per day, but there are speculations that Putin could be able to mobilize 500000 personnel in a short time if decides to.

So Russia definitely has the means to sacrifice more if needed, the question is how much the Russian people is willing to accept. Because even with falsified information, the mobilizations and deaths and wounded can't be kept secret forever even with the best propaganda.
I keep hoping that all we are waiting for is the straw that breaks the camels back. But although it's been buckling for a while in many ways, it seems it simply wont quite break.

Keep in mind that that's the number of permanent military losses, not deaths. The number of deaths is still far under one million. The number is telling how many soldiers the Russia has lost. Mostly to mutilation by explosives.

I mean, who wouldn't want a bag of onions?

You really believe this?
