Ukraine, History, And Human Resolve.

[Doc7505]

Even if you believe the propaganda coming out of Ukraine... Let's for a moment pretend the death tolls are factual...

How poorly has our public school system performed in regard to teaching human sacrifice for a given cause..?

The global population has nearly tripled since WWI...

Yet in Ukraine many are ringing the bells of victory for the purported deaths of 5-8 thousand dead Russian soldiers. LOL!!! Not every people has become so timid, and gutless as the cozy "tolerant" West. The killing we've seen so far; is chump change when viewed through the lens of human history. A drop in the bucket. It could be so much worse. And by percentage..? Today's modern Western stomach; couldn't stomach half of what a determined aggressor could bring

Pussies.
Keep in mind; these are just single battles. With a fraction of the population to participate. Nut up, or roll over. No one in living memory has seen the potential for carnage that exists.

Kaiserschlacht (Kaiser's battle)​	Northern France / West Flanders, Belgium​	March 21 ? July 18, 1918​	1,539,715​

Battle of Gallipoli​	Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey​	April 25, 1915 ? Jan. 9, 1916​	473,000​
Battle of Arras​	Arras, France​	April 9 ? May 16, 1917​	278,000​
Battle of the Argonne Forest​	Argonne Forest, France​	Sep. 26 ? Nov. 11, 1918​	187,000​
Battle of Tannenberg​	Near Allenstein, East Prussia​	Aug. 26?30, 1914​	182,000​
Ninth Battle of the Isonzo​	Soa valley, Slovenia​	Oct. 31 ? Nov. 4, 1916​	138,000​

And these are single battles. Not wars.
So... How hard are you personally willing to fight..?

Indeed. Historically, World War I was devastating. It was the birth of modern warfare and the continued 19th century battle war tactics against trenches, barbed war and machine guns. Please note that the casualties you quoted were of soldiers sent across no man's land against the entrenched enemy behind rows of barbed wire firing machineguns.
Oddly, you did not mention World War II where not only soldiers were casualties but the war was brought to civilian populations in Europe, the Pacific and Asia.
This war in the Ukraine has become the 21st Century's modern warfare. It's no longer the soldier at the main line of resistance, but the families at home behind the lines suffering bombings and death.

Historically World War I was fought with modern weapons of war using 19th century mass charges against machine guns, barbed wire and poison gas in Europe. Yes, it was devastating.
Oddly, you didn't refer to those killed during World War II. In that war more civilians were killed than the soldiers.

It wasn't "odd". What happens when your enemy is more numerous; and less squeamish.?


That's gonna be a bad day for someone....

Still you miss represented WWI, those deaths were battlefield deaths. In WWII more civilians lost their lives in Europe and Asia on both sides than the soldiers sent to war.

You're the only one talking about WW2.
