I responded to someone saying that Palestinians are transphobic so we should get to kill them. I guess it makes sense though, it's how liberals can live with themselves. If they don't think of an entire diverse group of people, or an entire religion, as transphobes or anti-lbgtq it becomes harder to support genocide. You just think of all of them as anti-lgbtq and maybe you can sleep better at night. (Not providing any evidence for this though of course.) They don't even hide they are racist any more. Amazing.

    Multiplying actual losses x10

    I’m not joking, the Ukrainians have been sticking to that formula since the beginning of the war. They exaggerate enemy losses by tenfold and undercount their own losses by tenfold. Zelenskyy is saying that there have only been 30,000 Ukrainian soldier deaths the entire war, just in complete denial of reality

      They had a standing army before the war of about 250k during pre war buildup, but they've only suffered 30k deaths? While Russia has had air, armor, and artillery superiority the whole time?

      And they are also openly conscripting any male that can stand and operate a firearm?

      lmao that's some weapons grade copium

        If they only had 30k deaths they wouldn’t be making the EU deport refugees back to them to use as cannon fodder

          I think a big part of it is that they'll do that thing where you only count a death and not a casualty even though that can mean a wound that keeps you out of combat readiness for weeks, months, or even permanently. Some dude with no foot because he stepped on a mine is gonna be hobbling back to the front at this rate like the worst stages of Barbarossa and the irony will be totally lost on the West.

            a big part of it is that the Ukrainian nazi state is filled to the brim with fucking liars who have never made an honest statement in their lives

          Right, and they wouldn't be conscripting greybeards (and prisoners) to be frontline soldiers either

          Wonder how long it'll be before we have a remotely honest count of how this went
