If it's any consolation it's pretty bad to say but it might be good for humanity in the end. Half the issues they have is the lack of men caused by a previous war with a figure that Putin is trying to emulate now.

Putin is sending more of his men to their deaths unnecessarily. Could have been avoided by not starting the war. But what's done is done, now that it is started the men that has been liquidated will help restrict Russia in the future. They still haven't recovered from WW2.

One wonders what this means in the short term for Russian people in Russia. Forget the propaganda and where they think all of the men went, what will they do when there are no more men left age 16-50?

I think it's a bit overestimated. There are many dead soldiers,yes. But it's not like a whole generation of men is whiped out
