No Ukrainian military personnel have died, only babies and women.
Eleventy billion Russians have died.
Putin has died 7 times from 7 different diseases.
Russia is out of missiles for the 16th time.

Nice try. Plainly, 100,000 officers is an absurd number. She obviously said something desperately incorrect. Your notion that the mistake is calling soldiers “officers” is baseless.

You know damn well she meant 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers and that she was quoting numbers given to her. Thus, the panic in trying to cover up what she said.

Propaganda doesn’t work too well when caught lying a couple thousand times.
Same when one doesn’t control all media.

“She obviously said something desperately incorrect.”

Really?

“The average lifespan of a Ukrainian mobilized recruit now is approximately 10 days — from the time he is grabbed off the street to the time he falls on the battlefield.
Foreign mercenaries—which by and large have become regular Polish and Romanian (and other NATO countries’) troops masquerading as “volunteers” — loath the idea of being used as cannon fodder and behave as regular colonial expeditionary forces.”

100k is her lowballing it.

Leaked Ukrainian documents on Telegram and Twitter a few months back showed the number of Ukrainian soldiers KIA was 2.5-3X higher than Russia KIA.

The globalists are thoroughly delighted that this Slavic death and destruction fest has essentially destroyed two nation states. They are now pliable cogs in the new world order. Poland and Hungary are next.

Most likely explanation is that she was told there were 100,000 casualties and like many civilians with no military background thought that “casualties” meant “killed.” If that was the case, then the real number is about 25,000 killed and 75,000 wounded. This misunderstanding of military terms is very common.

“100k is her lowballing it.”

Agreed.

Der Fuhrer wannabe UrsalaIdiot drops a truth bomb of Ukraine having suffered 100k KIA, and even that is them fudging numbers.

Given that Ukraine had leaked memos in August stating they had lost 190k it stands to reason, that after the fall (in which the Ukrainians lost 12k in Kherson alone in late October), the numbers are more likely closer to 220-240k plus.

There will come a point when Ukraine runs out of men and cannot field a combat effective force. It appears that day is approaching.

Send the Marines!

The Ukrainian armed forces haven’t been “reduced” by 50%. Casualties are being replaced. Lots of wars are won by countries who suffer >50% casualty rates, and whose aggregate casualties are multiples of initial strength. Aggregate casualties for many victorious combatants are greater than 100% of peak strength.

The interesting question is how close Ukraine is to being unable in practice to induct, train and equip permanent casualty (death, disability) replacements one for one. My guess is not very close, and that Russia may be closer.

Russia is out of missiles for the 16th time.

No. 50 active and retired CIA analysts have told CNN the Russians have stolen enough Ukraine Washing-machines and refrigerators for parts to rebuild their missile capability.

Time to raise your hand if you realize you have been mind farmed by Ukrainian propaganda into believing Russia isn’t winning this conflict. 😏

Russia is winning, but they have still been revealed as a spent force.
