Why would a 10:1 death ratio be unlikely? It's Ukraine, hardly an adversary with training, organization, attitude, or resources equivalent to those of Russia.
First of all, because the state would have long collapsed with a 10:1 death ratio. Secondly, Ukraine is not untrained. It has had 800k with practical experience terrorizing the Donbas.
As long as Russia refuses to equalize, this will happen.
I wouldn't call it generous to send weapons to fight until the last Ukrainian, but point taken. That said, 10:1 simply is not sustainable, especially for a country that is already at a 3-4 deficit in the relevant population.
Neither would I call it generous to have billions of taxpayer dollars stolen for the sake of virtue signaling and supporting a corrupt backwater, but Zelensky certainly has.
10:1 simply is not sustainable
Which is why so many optimistic stories and pieces of information to come out of Kiev have been shown to be false. It's not sustainable, Ukraine is losing.
