I read a book some years back called Colder Than Hell: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir

The description of the ChiCom human wave attacks, and the Marines that mowed them down was intense.

In one, the author related a Marine's story about looking out at the battlefield in the morning and seeing beige quilted bodies so dense that he couldn't see the snow between them.

Suddenly a motionless corpse sprang to life and sat up, frantically patting his quilted jacket which must have been slow smoldering from an incendiary round that hit him during the night and suddenly caught fire.

They shot him.

When the Moscovians send out groups of 7-8 men and they are wiped out, then send several more and they are wiped out, this is called meat wave.

When they send out 10 armored vehicles and they are wiped out, followed by 2 more waves, these are called armored meat waves.

One very quickly gets to a 1000 casualties or about 350 dead per daily assault.

During NK, the Chinese just sent more at one time, which being bigger, is called a human wave, ripe for MaDuce, or in Ukraine 20mm and cluster munitions.

This was very true in the Stalingrad era, and early in the war. But even the soviet army of 1945 moving against Berlin was a very different army than they had in the summer of 41.
It was large, well coordinated and armed and very dangerous.

Similarly, our Army of 1945 was an incredible steamroller even WE could scarcely imagine in the days of the North Africa in 1942.

I think his argument is basically sound. But the Ukraine-Russia war is being fought far beyond the front, in an overwhelming information war and media cheerleading. Slogans and phrases certainly are meant to substitute for critical examination.

I did a simple search for the phrase, "meat wave," to find the greatest number of "hits" seems to be via the Ukraine related sites, suggesting that the phrase has an intent to demoralize. If your kin is part of a "meat wave," you would feel something, to be sure. But, like so much about "nudging" and "manufacturing consent," slogans are not meant to apply to both sides.

My impression is that "meat wave" sorts of blather are just fine in the mouth of a Lindsey Graham or Victoria Nuland, and by that I mean the Ukrainians dying, as well as Russians. All for geopolitical goals, and of course the grift which blankets this world.

A tiny chuckle. His pronunciation of "bugle"....

Best wishes.

“Breaking The Myth of Russian “Human Wave” Attacks”

DAMN!!! I was going to post this one.

We all know who, here, are making these claims, and we all know that THEY ARE LYING here - and this video PROVES it.

Particularly when he challenged 250 THOUSAND people on on Twitter to send him a video of this claim - and, literally, NO ONE could.

In 1940, Portugal had a larger army than the US.
