In comparison, in 1968, the deadliest year in Vietnam, nearly 17,000 Americans died.
Important differences:
- Russia is approaching that number in 4 weeks, not a year
- America in 1968 had lots of 20 year old baby boomers
- Russia in 2022 doesn't have a surplus of 20 year olds
- Population of USA in 1968 was approx. 200 million and growing
- Population of Russia in 2022 is approx 145 million and shrinking
The Vietnam War, and the 1968 death toll, nearly tore America apart.
What will happen to Russia when the failure of the Ukraine invasion becomes widely known inside Russia?
