    I generally agree, but the devil is in the details. An order of magnitude more casualties would be approximately the entire Russian army and its reservists. It’s currently thought that an army loses operational efficacy at 30-40% losses.

      Looking at WW2 numbers, they still have some way to go and I suppose you don’t need to worry too much about defending other borders, as long as you giver a finger over the nuclear suicide button.
