Out of the half a million troops killed I wonder how many were actually Russians? Doesn’t look like things are working out for them.

In context of the war, this number is more relevant. Dead or too injured to fight, fewer troops are fewer troops. It doesn’t really matter what percentage in that 466,150 number are still alive when it comes to Russia’s chances against the Ukrainian military.
Not disputing that. Just that OP labeled them all as killed. Any Russian sent home in a box or carried out on a litter is a win for democracy.
Russia has more to spend. Ukraine doesn’t which is becoming more and more apparent. Luckily that US bill was approved. But still there will need to be some immense luck and enginuity for Ukraine not to fall. Not to mention for Europe to stop this common delusion, come together and form a modern and strong army to step behind Ukraine with long term support. Probably with soldiers as well.
How is having more money going to put more people on the ground?
They meant Russia has more bodies to spend
If you can expend more artillery, you can use less soldiers.
You can’t capture a city with artillery.
No, that’d be weird. You use artillery and soldiers.
The less soldiers you lose, the more you have left.
You can lay siege though. Bomb anything going out or in.
When you have better tech, you need fewer soldiers. It’s the same with artillery as it is with drones.
