MacGregor's a fraud and a hack.

Period.

THIS Larry Johnson?

Is Ex-CIA Agent Larry C. Johnson Threatening A Freeper?

500,000 dead Ukrainian

hardly.

[JonPreston]

and you are an empty barrel, noisy and without value.

[JonPreston]

what’s your number?

[central_va]

Google the Ukrane army. Active duty and reserve is round 200,000 in the field. So if the had 500,000 KIA’d ( not wounded ) then they have a 250% attrition rate. No army has ever had a 250% attrition rate.

[NorseViking]

Why not? They are now on their fourth military assembled from scratch.

[central_va]

Since the typical “butcher bill” has a killed to wounded ratio usually around 4 or 5:1 so if 500,000 KIA’s then the total caualties would be 2,500,000 WIA’d? Wow, I never knew....

Ukraine aims to amass 'million-strong army' to fight Russia, says defence minister

The defence minister added: "We have approximately 700,000 in the armed forces and when you add the national guard, police, border guard, we are around a million-strong."

[central_va]

Did you know US doctrination is that 10% (decimated) casualties puts a unit out of commission. 250% LOL. No way.

[central_va]

The total Army strength is 500,000. So a 100% attritution rate? LOL. Nope. Didn’t happen.

Ukrainian forces: (ZSU, NGU, SBGS, PSMOP) ~70,000 killed, 100,000–120,000 wounded 24 February 2022 – 18 August 2023

900,000 active & reserve in Feb, 2022

Von der Leyen had 100,000 dead nearly a year ago

Von der Leyen statement about death of 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers cut from speech

[NorseViking]

What it has to do with the US doctrination? They don’t have men left, press ganging grandpas, asking Europe to deport refugees, and handing summons to pregnant women.

The latest estimates on dead Ukrainian soldiers is 500,000.

I said, a link to a report. A reputable report. From a government site. Not from a post, and not from a vlog.

I've read the kind of report from unreliable sources, like you did.

Reports are that, the Ukrainian forces have suffered over 200,000 casualties, and that's dead and injured.

Reports are that, the Russians have suffered over a million casualties, dead and injured.

And, like I said, whatever the Ukrainian casualties, you have to multiply that by at least 2, since the invaders are not as entrenched as those in familiar territory and don't know the ground as well, and the people being invaded are ALL ENEMIES of the invading forces. Thus, it's only natural that the invaders would suffer much more in casualties than the defending forces.

Granted that the following is a bit dated, but it's a lot more reliable than your sources:

Even 70k kia is ufb. No exaggertions are needed.

So you offer a year old European blog as reputable? What's wrong with you?

So you offer a year old European blog as reputable?

What's wrong with you? You can't read?

as of 23 February 2023 is not the same as a year old.

But, a blog with more detailed information is a lot more reputable than a simple post from an unknown page from an unknown blogger.
