Reply to comment by Kidrellik in Ukraine works to restore power after bruising Russian attack by LieutJimDangle

France took 750 casualties per day for 4 years in a row and still won ww1. Ukraine is nowhere near that while Russia has passed US Vietnam combat deaths for the entire Vietnam war in less than 8 months

France also had a massive colonial empire to fall back on for manpower and 10% of the French population didn't leave the country. Ukraine is also more than likely taking that much or slightly below that much causalities as they were on the offencive against an enemy with the firepower advantage.

Russia has also taken 100k causalities, not a 100k dead. It's probably like 25k dead and 75k wounded. America and its allies suffered 340k dead and another 1.34 million causalities.
