AsymcoNote that Putin may consider trading 6 million lives for Ukraine to be worth it. This is based on historical perspective. The trade in WWII was 25 million Russians. The maintenance of the Soviet Union cost 40 million Russian lives. For both of these trades the impact on Russia can be superficially seen as positive thus these calculations are considered reasonable. The negatives are buried in opportunity costs which are quite abstract.
