    Dude, you just believe anything that you are told by people. I can tell you and show you that your causalities were obvious propaganda, and then you just shift to different propaganda.

      Russia is losing this war by every measurable statistic.

      They are losing more soldiers.

      They are losing global goodwill and actively gaining international accountants aligned against Russia

      They’re not gaining any land.

      They’re losing more equipment. They’re losing more vehicles of aircraft.

      They’re losing uncountable billions of dollars in oil sales that they are not getting back because the countries that used to trade with them are pivoting rapidly to sustainable energy.

      Russia is losing hard.

        Only a few more decades until sustainability! 🤡

          You are really behind the times aren’t you?

          Sustainable energy is exploding.

          In a few months, Germany reduced oil imported from Russia by 20%, from 35% and are actively replacing that energy loss with renewable resources.

          Many other countries are doing the same.

          Russian just cut off the remainder of the profit margin they had for their oil fields during extended years in the future they’ll be economically disadvantaged.

            70% of renewable energy in Germany is fucking wood burning.

            We are not even close to sustainability. I’m sure Europe can get by without Russia by relying on LNG and renewables, but my point is that sustainability is not happening.

              Sustainability is happening.

              Every year solar panels become more efficient and cheaper.

              Solar cars are going into production that refuel 40 mi a day from the Sun.

              Korean infrastructures are being installed by All of the most powerful countries sustainable and renewable green infrastructure at significant rates to phase out fossil fuels in one to two decades.

              Wind farms are being installed at rates that break records every year.

              Title currents are being used to produce electricity, more nuclear powers being installed this decade than an all of human history.

              Sustainability is happening very rapidly.

                Web searching has become so fucking useless. I just wanted to look up how much solar has been installed on a year-by-year basis and make a projection based on that, but I can’t fucking do it. It makes me feel stupid and old, as if I’m some grandma trying to figure out how computers work. It didn’t used to be this way! I should be able to look this shit up no problem, but I keep finding the same fucking shit that’s only about 2022-2023 or propaganda pieces from think tanks. I can’t find a simple ten year graph. It’s maddening. I can’t even argue with your first point because I’m too fucking stupid to use the internet. Fuck this, I’m not going to kill myself trying to argue with you.

      You always say things are propaganda without providing any evidence or counterpoint.

      All I’m doing is telling you about corroborated facts that disagree with your baseless theories.

      That’s called evidence.

      There are several facts that you can’t deny, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t real.

      It means that they are true and you don’t like them.

      Like Russia losing this war.

        You think that if it takes 20 comments to kind of convince you that 400k and 30k are bad numbers that I will be able to convince you that particular sanctions were not affective?

          You saying that the agreed upon numbers are bad does not make those numbers bad.

          And no, I don’t think you’ll be able to convince me of anything that I have better corroborated facts for from multiple credible and reliable sources, while you spout vagaries and baseless innuendos.

          Having said that, I do like being proved right repeatedly, so feel free to take your best shot.

            You literally are repeating the Ukraine numbers, and I point to less partisan numbers that are much different but you still think you are right by repeating propadanda. Sorry dude, you will not be able to understand any arguments.

              By using corroborated facts from credible and reliable sources, I think my logical conclusions are more sound then your baseless ones.

                So you still think the death are “413,000 Russian troops lost so far to Ukraine’s 31,000”?

                  Since the conflict is ongoing and we don’t have undisputed fact, I can’t tell you the definitive answer you want.

                  All we can reliably go on are the agreed upon estimates, which at the moment indicate over 300k Russian casualties and over 30k Ukrainian casualties.
