Putin’s Debacle
“The total number of Russian deaths in Ukraine is likely to have exceeded all fatalities in 16 of the nation’s military actions since the Second World War, it has been claimed.”
It has also been claimed that this disinfo is total BS.

NYT Reveals Think Tank It’s Cited for Years to Be Corrupt Arms Booster
ADAM JOHNSON
Excerpt:
As the Times also notes, CSIS is funded largely by Western and Gulf monarchy governments, arms dealers and oil companies, such as Raytheon, Boeing, Shell, the United Arab Emirates, US Department of Defense, UK Home Office, General Dynamics, Exxon Mobil, Northrop Grumman, Chevron and others.
Anyone with a seven-year-old’s understanding of causality can conclude that CSIS would, in the aggregate, promote the expansion of the military and surveillance state, since that’s who pays their bills; what the Times did was reveal a specific, rather direct example, using heretofore secret documents.

Opps, a demoncrat think tank that thinks they can think. Hmmm...
If The Centre for Strategic and International Studies says so who are we to question them.
CSIS: a think tank run by a “neocon” group including Nuland’s husband. Take it with a boulder of salt.
WWII set a pretty high bar for Russian casualties. Doing the math they averaged over 2K dead a day from 1941 to 1945.
Total deaths for the following Soviet military actions are given in the book “Soviet Casualties and Combat Losses in the Twentieth Century.” (Greenhill Books, 1997)
War in Korea (1950-1953) - 299
Military Assistance to Asia, Africa and Middle East - 145
Events in Hungary (1956) - 720
Czechoslovakia (1968) - 96
Border conficts in the Far East and Kazakhstan (1969) - 60
Afghanistan (1979-1989) - 14,751
Total: 16,071
Doo Dah Doo Dah.
Ooohhh! A think tank says!
Next week: “More Russian soldiers have died fighting in the Ukraine then died in all of WWI and WWII, it is estimated that if the war continues the Russian population will be reduced to that of Rhode Island!!”
“It is thought Russian troops are dying at five times the rate of Ukrainians, at a total of around 70,000.”
Those are rookie numbers!!!
From less than a month ago:
https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/02/13/mediazona-and-bbc-news-russian-publish-further-figures-on-russia-s-losses-in-ukraine
Mediazona and BBC News Russian, together with a group of volunteers, have confirmed the deaths of 14,093 Russian servicemen killed in the Ukraine war before February 12. They arrived at this total using only public records and other open sources.
Probably more Russian Federation troops and more Ukrainian civilians, but otherwise about par seems far more likely.
Only 16? What slackers, the US has had 32 bombings of other countries since 1945.
