      Casualties aren’t the same thing as deaths or MIA. Casualties also include injured and those taken out due to sickness.

        right, casualties are a superset of killed and MIA, but we see that overall casualties on both sides are about even and far lower than mainstream western media pretends

          I don’t know what the guy commented on; if the issue was about the amounts being reported or the difference between the sides. There’s so much reporting on Russian losses but not much on Ukraine’s. I’d been wondering how they were fairing. Definitely a lot worse comparotively, if the numbers are accurate. Ukraine’s pop is like a quarter of Russia’s.

          The media usually reports casualties, not just deaths and MIA. Probably because it makes things look worse, but it’s also useful to know how many people can no longer fight.

            Well you can see how they’re farming from what Budanov says in the link I provided above. The fact that Ukraine has to resort to using brutal forced mobilization while Russia hasn’t is another indicator of how things are going.

      go home little fash

      You’re as forceful and effective as the Russian army here.

      In other words, consider getting help from north Korea, and see if you can dupe some Africans and Indians who were just looking for work, to fight for you.

      LMAO

          raging racism isn’t helping beat the fash allegations lmfao

          I never accept the premise of assholes, and am uninterested in whether they approve of me or not.

            I was worried that maybe you weren’t actually laughing your ass off, and might actually be mad or something. Luckily your second and third all caps LMAOs have reassured me.

              The part where I say you’re ineffective and suggest you need help because you’re not up to the task? And then mock the impotence of Russia, by pointing out that they have to import north Koreans, Indians, Africans for cannon fodder in a campaign they can’t win? And then draw parallels between you and Russia with respect to failing?

              Yes, that was me.

              Also, I demand to be a hyphen fash of some sort, like crypto-fash, hypno-fash, or something fancy like that. Get back to me on that.
