Casualties don’t matter to Russia, or Putin.
Russians have always suffered, no matter who’s in charge.
All that matters is that Putin will win and the DC Swamp will lose.
Many people predicted this outcome before the first shot was fired, and nobody in the Swamp was listening. They’re still not listening. Gigantic waste of money.
Ulterior motives prevailed.

Oddly enough, though, if this were said about Ukraine, you all would be eating it up. When it comes to the Russia-Ukraine War, hypocrisy runs deep in here.

Do you think Putin will do another mass-mobilization next spring?

It's not backed up by obituaries in Russian newspapers.

Many Russian families don't know their soldiers are dead yet. The communications have been restricted.

Like any statistic from the Slow Joe/Obama administration .... if their lips are moving, they are lying.

Many people predicted it would be over 30 days. We’re on year two now.

I’m at the point where I don’t care who wins. They’re both evil.

That means they only have 13% left

... of the original invading force, but Putin mobilized another 300,000 in Sept. 2022

LOL!

*******************

These casualty figures are ridiculous, when war footage shows small engagements from the beginning of the war until today.

However, when propaganda operators from “both sides” show their little maps, suddenly huge casualties occur.

I stopped watching Russia Ukraine war videos months ago because the headline NEVER matches the footage.(Plus I hate training vids with music attached)

Troop rotations or mobile crematorium.

Which is the more believable story?

War footage???

You mean you watched this entire 3 year war on multiple fronts and counted the casualties?

Have palm.

But I thought you all said reporters were being kept from filming the action.

Here we go. All the bad news from Russia is fake. The good news from Ukraine is fake. LOL

The reason for the "success" of 2022's Kherson counteroffensive and Kharkov counteroffensive was that many of the enlistments of the professional Russian contract troops had come to an end.

They didn't become "casualties".

And still we never hear what the true number of Ukrainian battle casualties are. Ever.

All we get are Mumsie threads and Zeepy-in-Tejas threads where the Ukies advance from victory to victory, and Ukie Tank Girl's mascara is the only casualty, as she destroys yet another squadron of Russian T-90s tanks.

Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield

If this article is correct, then my estimate of 500K dead Ukrainian soldiers, can't be far off.

Please listen to it.
It’s the deep state-globalist playbook for the next year.
High level brilliant insight.

You'll never see a true number for Ukrainian casualties.

If it was known, the AFU would mutiny.

The war footage sucks, so I’m assuming it’s being done by people with cell phones not people that can film for hours.

Where are all these big engagements with massive casualties?

Please send them to me......can’t wait.

Saw it yesterday... Was one of the best things I’ve seen on Infowars. Not sure I believe 100% of it, but I learned a few things new and important.
