The insistence on evidence is wholly bogus when commonsense can tell you all you need to know. The Russian took 27,000,000 casualties against the Nazis. The US had something under 300,000. Arming an ally against an opponent they have no hope of defeating is tantamount to murder. That's Joe Biden.
Clearly your understanding of common sense and mine differ vastly. Comparing the invasion of Russia by Nazi Germany, creating a battle for the Soviet Union’s very existence, and an invasion BY Russia of a neighboring country where it’s Ukraine’s existence at stakes turns “common sense” on its head.
Why is there cultivated uncertainty about the number of Ukraine dead when other commentators put it at around 500,000? The answer is: if the issue is funding Ukraine, the administration understands that a casualty report like that will not generate continued support. The fog of war is particularly thick in this conflict for a good reason. The Soviet casualties during W2 is a legitimate indication of the relative size of the antagonists, as well as of their will. Russian sees Nato incursion as a red-line. Why not believe them? There are multiple reports that Ukraine is already done. Why argue when we can just wait and see? It is just a shame that we helped Ukraine wreck their own country, that we pushed the Russians into the arms of the CCP.
