Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) met Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, St. Petersburg, July 23, 2023 The problem with the war in Ukraine is that it has been all smoke and mirrors. The Russian objectives of “demilitarisation” and “de-Nazification” of Ukraine wore a surreal look. The western narrative that the war is between Russia and Ukraine, … Continue reading "Glimpses of an endgame in Ukraine"
Russian army backed by a powerful defence industry and a robust economy will not hesitate to confront NATO member countries bordering Ukraine
This reeks of propaganda. The world is aware of an estimated 200,000 dead (I was wrong, according to news sources. The number of VERIFIABLE dead is between 50,000-100,000. The estimated total dead Russians in Ukraine is still roughly 200,000.), and at least $100 million in war related imports from China. Both were on the front page of Lemmy in the last week.
Looks like OP is an astroturfer. Check their post history.
“US intelligence documentation cited the Russian FSB that Russian forces suffered 110,000 casualties by 28 February 2023.”
The Wikipedia article is well sourced. I suggest anyone looking for the truth sift through their 395 citations for the proof. You can downvote all you want. Idgaf about Internet points
It’s pretty hilarious how you think that just because something was on a front page of Lemmy last week automatically means it’s factual.
edit: love how the lib chud genuinely believes there’s like a bazillion Russian casualties and getting upset when being called out on it. Best part how every one of his links gives a wildly different number, like they’re just throwing darts at a board. The real genius of western propaganda is that the propagandists know that the public wants to buy what they’re selling so they don’t have to work too hard.
I can’t believe you’re an astroturfer though! Don’t you know how bad that stuff is for the environment? Granted, it uses less water than a traditional lawn, but insects and small animals can’t build an ecosystem in it. You should try and build a garden with plants native to the region instead, much, much better that way.
This is like, the most concentrated reddit r/worldnews shit I think I’ve ever seen here. Only thing it is missing is “thanks for the gold kind stranger.”
Hey did you get your monthly Xi bucks yet? I bought a few Xi memorabilia this month and I’m kind of low on money, can’t wait for Xi to pay me more Xi bucks to do some more astroturfing.
Editing your comment like this is confusing and bad form. You should reply to the comment you’re referring to.
What’s your point about the casualty rate though? Even if your numbers were right, so what? It doesn’t really counter that last point from the article (which I disagree with for other reasons).

Seems like you’re the one spreading propaganda here. The only actual analysis of Russian casualties that I’m aware of was done by BBC in collaboration with Mediazona, and they only managed to come up with soldiers 14,093 killed https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/02/13/mediazona-and-bbc-news-russian-publish-further-figures-on-russia-s-losses-in-ukraine

Now the front page of Lemmygrad, maybe.

Super funny seeing a 10 day old account accuse one of the oldest Lemmy users of being an astroturfer

ding! Good catch!
Do you even know what astroturfing is? How is one person going to astroturf?
Man, I forgot to add astroturfing to my liberal bingo card!
Hey did you get your monthly Xi bucks yet? I bought a few Xi memorabilia this month and I’m kind of low on money, can’t wait for Xi to pay me more Xi bucks to do some more astroturfing.
That’s right, gotta pay rent somehow!
