    Russia has a lot more equipment to employ than Ukraine, “meat waves” is just recycling the nazi “Asiatic hordes” myth.

    Can you explain to me what ‘Storm Z’ is?

      Given that there’s 2 orders of magnitude difference between what Ukraine and Russia claim Storm Z is, anyone who thinks they can either has access to information that we don’t, or accepts low-confidence information.

        Fucking lol.

        For those who unaware, Storm Z is a reference to penal units being used in mass assaults, something that Russian forces themselves have commented on. But who needs facts when there’s a fascist state to sieg heil for?

          What the fuck are you talking about? I’m not pro-Russia because I point out that these numbers are unrealistic. Maybe in a few years when the fervor goes down, you’ll look back and realize that take is no different than calling people who opposed Iraq and Afganistan terrorist supporters.

            “I just made a number up about a Ukrainian source undercounting casualties and accused 650k, a high but by no means unrealistic count, of being bullshit! I’m not being PRO-Russia, I’m just being indistinguishable from those who are!”

            Oh, I’m so glad you think the genocide of Ukrainians is something to be glossed over. Surely, your apologia for Russia will be seen as noble and far-sighted in the years to come, and you’ll be praised as a supporter of the finest anti-imperialist genocide of this decade!
