Recently was diagnosed with ADHD, so there’s definitely that at least, lol

Flying under the gaydar. In your defense, my mother suspected I was gay for the longest time. XD

You would think, but I just don’t have any taste in boys*

*except for monsters, I’d fuck a monster in an instant

“is it homosexual to be alert in normal daylight hours”

Fuck, is this why I’m on vampire hours all the goddamn time? Being straight sucks. Why hasn’t Liberal Media™ converted me yet like I was promised it would!?

If they were so inept as it’s said, Ukraine wouldn’t perceive them as this big of a ‘Help us ASAP stop them from reaching’ threat.

10,000 warm bodies is 10,000 warm bodies. Or have you forgotten how Storm-Z units went?

And since when is recognising the military power of an army simping for fascism?

When it’s oriented around dismissal of the flaws of a military because it’s one of the commenter’s favorite fascist regimes? MLs are pretty predictable.

Literally 1984

? I was told right here on Lemmy that the NK soldiers are functionally useless, tactically inept, slowing down the Russian troops, have never seen anything with a transistor before, and are supplying shells with 80% misfire rates?

What part of “Let us stop the North Korean troops before they see the battlefield” contradicts that?

Or are you just looking to simp for fascists, as usual?

On that we agree.

Melting them in a kettle would probably have a bad result, but yes, old UXO from the War in Afghanistan and cross-border attacks by Coalition forces helps too.

Yes, as we all know, these polio programs are being targeted because the CIA used a doctor in a fake vaccination campaign as a source of intel back in 2010, definitely not because insane antivaxxers exist in every society and societies in turmoil find it easier to acquire both lunatics and explosives. That’s why there were no antivax conspiracies in the Muslim world about vaccines being Western sterilization programs before 2010.

Very interesting! A crushing defeat, no less. I hope the new political alliances diversify Botswana’s economy further.

Ukrainian losses in the east are well documented. From another article today in the Kyiv Independent:

Yes, they are well-documented. You can see them right there on that map. Bottom-right, near Donetsk. ‘442 square miles’ sounds like a lot, but 442 square miles is the size of a single large modern city.

There aren’t official public Ukrainian stats on this. There are various estimates. The US estimates about 70K.

Anonymous officials claimed 70k, while an actual DIA leak claimed 17.5k. It’s an old estimate, but 17.5k would scale closely to Zelensky’s 31k earlier this year, and would suggest ~40k now. This would also fit the estimate of a 5-1 casualty ratio from constant Russian offensives, assuming perfect parity in wounded-to-dead in Ukrainian and Russian forces.

An anonymous Ukrainian official told the WSJ it was 80K last month.

A number almost immediately disputed.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s the usual suspect of ‘bad news garners clicks/eyeballs’, but I’m also not up to date with the leadership at the NYT.

Ukraine is losing territory in the east,

July

Yesterday

wow

much loss

and its forces inside Russia have been partially pushed back.

Considering the goal was to seize territory and then create ideal defensive positions while the more distant advances were retaken, I’m not sure why the NYT is considering this such a surprise.

The Ukrainian military is struggling to recruit soldiers and equip new units. The number of its soldiers killed in action, about 57,000, is half of Russia’s losses but still significant for the much smaller country.

31,000 Ukrainian KIA, with Russia’s estimated KIA ranging from 100k to 200k.
