Meanwhile, the U.S only took 196 casualties in 2 months for the opening invasion of Iraq.

There's no comparison whatsoever. That was a completely different situation.

Putin will have to start backing down

He'll just use tactical nukes.

Putin has already started backing down that's why the invasion has slowed down. He needs to stop giving that kike chances to negotiate.

Iraq was hit by sanctions from the original gulf war, but they still had one of the largest armies in the world at the time (and perhaps, the whole Middle East). Not to mention, compared to Ukraine, they also had a lot of fighting experience. Remember Saddam's Elite Guards?

He'll just use tactical nukes.

The oligarch's would intervene, as it guarantees Russia's destruction.

They're not in charge. They have no real political power in Russia. Read Russian military doctrine.

Money always talks. The minute they run out of funds to fuel their forever wars, there will be internal chaos and betrayal. That's how the original Soviets fell.

But whatever, lets watch where Putin takes his country in the next few months. I honestly think it's dumb, but he must know more about geopolitics than me. Especially as he's now being boycotted everywhere besides China and a few backwater nations...
