Top US General Says Ukraine War Has Become An 'Absolute Catastrophe' For Russia

Business Insider: Top US general says Ukraine war has become an 'absolute catastrophe' for Russia, estimating it's suffered 'significantly well over' 100,000 casualties 

* Milley on Friday said Russia has suffered "significantly well over" 100,000 casualties in Ukraine. 

* This marked a slight update from a figure Milley offered in November. 

* Milley urged Putin to end the war, saying it had become an "absolute catastrophe" for Moscow. 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley on Friday said that Russia has "really suffered a lot" in Ukraine and urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. 

"The Russian casualties — last time I reported out on it publicly, I said it was well over 100,000. I would say it's significantly well over 100,000 now," Milley said at a news conference alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Germany, providing a slight update on a figure the top US general offered in November. 

Milley said that the "tremendous amount of casualties" suffered by Russia included "regular military, and also their mercenaries in the Wagner Group and other type forces that are fighting with the Russians."

WNU Editor: Gen. Mark Milley has been saying the same thing since the start of the war last year. That Russia was going to run out of missiles and ammo. That Russia could not sustain the war. That Russia's military has in essence been gutted. And here we are right now seeing him and other NATO Generals and Defense officials gathering together to scramble ammo and equipment for Ukraine to replace what has been lost and to get Ukraine ready to face what is expected to be a massive Russian offensive in the coming weeks. 

Needless to say. This is same General who admitted publicly that he was clueless on Afghanistan .... ‘Nothing I saw indicated a collapse of this government in 11 days’: Milley on Afghanistan (NYPost).

Milley probably goes home and changes into andress and high heels. The man ought to be court martialed for incompetence and sedition.

Russia can sustain the war as russian lives have no value…this nation’s stupidity has no limits.

A war of aggression against most of the world is never a good thing for any country.

Ukraine = 0.56% of world population

Western sanction supporting countries = 12.8% of world population

Countries that support Russia or have taken a neutral stance = 86.64% of world population

A war of aggression against most of the world it is not. Keep spinning.

In the real world this guy would be picking lint from his empty pockets. But he doesn't live in the real world, he lives in the alternate universe of Washington, D.C., where losers are winners, winners are losers, and assholes are a dime a baker's dozen.

WNU: It wasn't needless to say! Many of us (I, for one) will have appreciated the reminder of Miley's tunnel vision at a time when many in the alternative media were indeed positting just such an outcome.
However, one must also consider the CYA value of his statement on Afghanistan, just like his statement now furthers the narrative that WE MUST BACK THESE SCRAPPY WARFIGHTERS IN THE NAME OF GOD ALMIGHTY and the RAINBOW FLAG!
