“This guide to disinformation analyzes American military adventures past and present to reveal striking similarities in the efforts of various administrations to justify, and retain, public support for war.”
Thank you for doing your part.
From the 43rd separate infantry battalion of the UAF from Zhytomyr say that:
As a result of incompetent management, the personnel suffered losses of -200 (dead) and 300 (injured)
They were thrown to the front line without artillery support and the necessary material support.
The commanders did not consider the soldiers as people.
The personnel of the unit is demoralized.
Some were written off as “missing persons” in order not to pay maintenance.
After protests and refusal to take up positions, they were declared deserters.
I challenge any western military toady to show a comparable video of Russian troops giving up. Good luck. It does not exist.

In contrast to Ukraine, who is losing hundred of troops everyday because of artillery barrages and air launched missiles, the Russians are rotating their frontline troops back home to rest and refit. You do not see any videos like the following from Ukraine. In fact, Ukrainian men are being chased down and forced to join the battle with virtually no training.
Ukraine, not Russia, is suffering devastating losses. And those men killed, wounded or captured are not easily nor quickly replaced. Basic infantry training requires at least three months to give new recruits the most rudimentary skills for operating in a combat environment. Guys pressed into service this week would not be ready to go to the frontlines with passable skills until the first of October. I am not sure they have that much time.
