The Russian MOD has stated Russia has official destroyed over twice what the AFU has. If that were the case, or if as MacGregor has said the Ukrainian army has been completely wiped out and rebuilt three times, Russia would have been at the Polish border before June of last year.
As bad as the US press lies, it pays to keep in mind it is not only the US press that lies. The Russian government's and state media's are bigger liars that the US press is.
I realize trolls job is to sew discourse, and appeal to those who want to believe this stuff. Are Ukrainian number 100% accurate, not likely, but I would say a lot closer than reported Russian and Ukrainian loses by these types and Russian MOD.
The numbers as you stated by then and types like Macgregor are easily proven false, but like the “big lie” tactic they keep repeating
I do wonder how many in russia actually believe these numbers
Again as you stated if these numbers were accurate there would be no one and nothing for the Ukrainians to fight with and russia would control all of Ukraine
The projection by the likes of R, trolls and Putin are stunning, age old tactic accuse your opponents of doing what you are, in fact, doing
