I'd certainly take prisoners and I believe the Ukrainians would prefer to as well, but one of the ugly truths of war is that in order to change public opinion among the population of the aggressor, it often requires awful casualty rates and the loved ones of the invading force to die in...

I can't wait to see Russian military morale hit a new low as recently mobilized recruits are forced into Ukraine in the middle of the winter.

A country to quality watch in this is South Korea.
