Saw a report the other day, sorry no link.

Ukraine has had approx 100k casualties.
Russia has had approx 150k to 200k casualties.

A report from corporate propaganda machine is as worthless as a Russian casualty report. Actually far worse as you believe it.

So, all these new accounts.   Are they human beings, or actual bots?

Why isn’t there any effort made to vet new “members”?

The first two US military casualties of the Gulf War were accidents. Guy laid down on the flightline for a nap and was run over by a truck. They'd been in blackout too, including reflective belts. The belts went right back on.

The second guy was working on an engine driven generator aboard a US Navy ship. We hadn't even fired a shot yet.

Since we are apparently building the tanks special for the Ukrainians, the controls will be in Ukrainian.

You think those Russians were clowning on that killing field for a Ukraine drone?  The guys who got swept off that vehicle were lucky they weren't seriously injured. That was definitely operator error, the kind that could get someone shot.
