Russia Has The Bomb, The Army, And An Empire In Its Head. Ukraine Is Fighting To Survive. And Half Of America Still Can't Do The Math.

Let’s compare the actual numbers. No hyped social media sentiments. Just the cold arithmetic that professional outrage merchants don’t want you doing. Ukraine has somewhere between 28 and 40 million people, depending on whether you count refugees abroad and occupied territory, the war has made an exact number impossible to pin down. Russia has about 143 million. Even using the higher Ukrainian estimate, that’s a population edge of close to four to one before a single shot is fired, a bottomless well of conscripts, mechanics, drivers, factory hands, and mothers who will bury their sons and keep sending more, because the Putin’s state machine keeps running regardless.

PODCAST: Trump Doesn’t Give A Damn About American Service Members Killed In His Stupid, Illegal War

Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple | Listen on iHeartMedia | Listen on Amazon. 18 American service members have been killed so far in Trump’s war against Iran.

And he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he doesn’t care.
