Phase out by the end of the year which is 10 months away is crap and probably has Putin rolling with laughter

a) holy shit that's a lot of casualties in just two weeks if true. like whoa. 

b) of course America's poodle will be doing this, surprised they are even taking until the end of the year. they aren't a major buyer of Russian oil- but if all the EU countries who are like Germany, Netherlands, Italy and South Korea/Japan follow - oil going to shoot past $200 barrel in a flash.

4,000 Russian casualties in 2 weeks is huge

in 10 years the Russians lost 15,000 in Afghanistan

It's an estimate but is conservative compared to the numbers Ukraine is throwing out there (11,000 or more), so seems somewhat believable?  Who knows, really.

And if enough countries plan to slowly "phase out" Russian energy, I think Putin might give them an unwelcome surprise by just doing it for them, and soon.  There are going to be almost innumerable negative externalities globally, as a result of dickface Putin's invasion.

I almost feel like the US should invade a country just to get McDonalds to pull out of the US. 

I bet diabetes and obesity would decrease a little bit.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.  We should keep every McDonald's open and serving up Russians all of that junk food.    Maybe even double-down by opening a few thousand new Taco Bell locations while we're at it.

4,000 more Russian troops die...of diarrhea.

Ukraine's numbers might well be exaggerated, but what is giving me pause to think they're somewhat accurate is that the Kremlin isn't publicly disputing the count.
