Niall Ferguson: Why Peace with Iran Is Inconceivable
"the casualties are at such an astonishingly high level that we're getting to the point where the Russians are losing in a month almost as many men that the US lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War. It's stunning that the Russian war machine can keep going when they advance no faster than a snail at such atrocious losses."
Historian Neil Ferguson reveals that Russian monthly casualties in Ukraine now approach the total U.S. death toll from the Vietnam War (approximately 58,000). Despite these staggering losses and minimal territorial gains, Putin continues the grinding war of attrition now in its fifth year—longer than World War I. Ferguson attributes Russia's ability to sustain the conflict partly to Chinese supply of dual-use and military equipment.
