The weirdest part of all this is watching those daily casualty updates by the OSINT guys.

Every day they claim that another 500+ Russians were killed and one Ukrainian stubbed his toe, and they've kept on claiming that all summer, even as Ukraine was doing WW1 style assaults into minefields and trench lines, without air support, and with a severe disadvantage in artillery. Those guys must be getting fucking slaughtered.

It's so fucking tragic and the people (us) pointing out the reality since (before) the beginning have been called every name under the sun for daring to contradict the NATO narrative. Will they learn? They obviously didn't last time; but a good chunk of the younger ones, who weren't political and so didn't have much of an opinion during the last one might be radicalised.

Gotta convince those yanks to keep throwing money at them.

I successfully forgot OSINT existed until you posted this. Goddamnit.
