I would not be shocked if its liver failure which is highly prevalent there and due to rampant alcoholism which contributes to their #1 cause of death, cardiovascular disease. Interestingly their second and third leading causes of death are anaphylaxis caused by chinese knock off Adidas polyester track suits and western death cult NATO anti-tank weapons.

Per ISW. Russians are again scaling-down their objectives. Hope Ukrainians can gum it all up.

Russian forces may be abandoning efforts at a wide encirclement of Ukrainian troops along the Izyum-Slovyansk-Debaltseve line in favor of shallower encirclements of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. Russian forces likely control almost all of Rubizhne as of May 12 and have likely seized the town of Voevodivka, north of Severdonetsk.[1] They will likely launch a ground offensive on or around Severodonetsk in the coming days. The relative success of Russian operations in this area combined with their failure to advance from Izyum and the notable decline in the energy of that attempted advance suggest that they may be giving up on the Izyum axis. Reports that Russian forces in Popasna are advancing north, toward Severodonetsk-Lysychansk, rather than east toward the Slovyansk-Debaltseve highway, support this hypothesis.

It is unclear if Russian forces can encircle, let alone capture, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk even if they focus their efforts on that much-reduced objective. Russian offensives have bogged down every time they hit a built-up area throughout this war, and these areas are unlikely to be different. Continued and expanding reports of demoralization and refusals to fight among Russian units suggest that the effective combat power of Russian troops in the east continues to be low and may drop further. If the Russians abandon efforts to advance from Izyum, moreover, Ukrainian forces would be able to concentrate their efforts on defending Severodonetsk-Lysychansk or, in the worst case, breaking a Russian encirclement before those settlements fall.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive around Kharkiv is also forcing the Russian command to make hard choices, as it was likely intended to do. The UK Ministry of Defense reports that Russian forces pulled back from Kharkiv have been sent toward Rubizhne and Severodonetsk but at the cost of ceding ground in Kharkiv from which the Russians had been shelling the city.[2] The counteroffensive is also forcing Russian units still near the city to focus their bombardment on the attacking Ukrainian troops rather than continuing their attacks on the city itself. The Ukrainian counteroffensive near Kharkiv is starting to look very similar to the counteroffensive that ultimately drove Russian troops away from Kyiv and out of western Ukraine entirely, although it is too soon to tell if the Russians will make a similar decision here.

Per Newsweek. Turns out Russia losing 15-20 tanks per day and 200+ troops KIA not sustainable. Who woulda thunk?

Military Expert Gives Putin's Forces 90 Days in Ukraine

BY JON JACKSON ON 5/12/22 AT 6:06 PM EDT

Amilitary expert on Thursday told Newsweek he believes Russia's military can only last about 90 more days in Ukraine before its forces and equipment become too depleted to continue.

Sean Spoonts, editor-in-chief of the military news outlet SOFREP, said Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces have already expended a sizable portion of its arsenal since the war began in late February. He also noted that Russia is facing difficulties replenishing military equipment and vehicles due to supply chain interruptions and severe economic sanctions placed on Russia.

After first estimating Russia's timetable to be at three months for how long it can last before it may decide it needs to cut its losses, Spoonts said that figure may be on the high side.

"I think the Russians would not be able to go much further than 90 days longer," Spoonts said. "At the bleed rate that they're going through right now, 90 days may be stretching it."

Already estimated that he have lost their entire contingent of armor that they brought at the initial launch of their invasion.

Russian propaganda video. Its like those movies that are so bad they become so good! Lots going on here. Attacking empty buildings for show, using WW2 era rifles, and quite possibly some of the worst muzzle discipline I have ever seen in my life outside of the ME and Africa, which is highly indicative of the terrible training the Russian military has/gets. <--and that is saying a lot since I was in the Air Force.

Biggest logical fail in your paid online Russian trolling is that you think the west thinks like you Russians who rely on almost 100% state controlled media for their information where they can continually bombard a false narrative to its audience and if you do it enough times they will believe it. Here in the West, Rasputin "Vol", we actually can get our hands on all kinds of information and make much better informed decisions than you Russians can.

tl;dr - Your Russian online troll campaign is a clown show that only works on commies.

I saw Ron speak in Nashville back during the Ron Paul Revolution. Rand is a far cry from his father, however. Not nearly as principled. Rand wouldn't have beaten Hillary in 2016, had he won the nomination. Trump was the best of a lot of a lot really bad choices.
