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.
