Cont: The Russian Invasion of Ukraine part 9

America spends billions on national intelligence but instead of asking his CIA Director or National Security Advisor whether it happened, he's just like, "Putin told me it happened so I believe him"

Putin has got a big box of chew toys to throw to Trump whenever he needs to distract him,

Over the past 10 months, Russian losses in the war with Ukraine have been growing faster than any time since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, BBC analysis suggests.

Russia's losses in Ukraine rise faster than ever as US pushes for peace deal

A steep rise in soldiers' obituaries is documented by the BBC as part of its work in counting Russian war losses.

Just seen that.

The article suggests that the methods used by the BBC to confirm the number of deaths may only identify 45-65% of the total, meaning that the real figure would be be between 243,000 and 352,000. In comparison, the UK lost around 383.000 military personnel in World War 2 - as a percentage of population that's significantly higher, but the Russian numbers are still shocking and span a shorter period of time (assuming that the figures represent deaths since the full invasion in 2022).

I should point out that when I say shocking, I mean in terms of pure numbers. When you factor in incompetence, corruption and a general disregard for human life, all part of a culture formed over years and originating from the very top of government, they're perhaps not so surprising.

Has Putin stayed his bombs away from Zelensky's residence, or is that irrelevant?

It's irrelevant to me. I see war as about winning or losing, not playing tit for tat. If Ukraine thinks they can win by catching Putin at his lake house with a cruise missile, it doesn't matter at all if Russia hasn't tried something similar yet.
 
"You know what honestly causes confusion and, well, uncomfortable feelings? That representatives from India, the Emirates, and several other countries condemned supposed drone strikes on Putin's residence that never even happened. But where's their condemnation? By the way, condemnation of the fact that they're bombing our children and killing our people this whole time. I don't hear anything from India or the Emirates about that, to be honest," - Zelenskyy said to journalists on Tuesday, Dec. 30.

It does matter, because somehow, it is a crime if Ukraine does it, but Russian allies do not bat an eyelid if Zelensky is attacked.

FM Lavrov: Moscow is grateful to its friends and partners for condemning the terrorist attack by the Kiev regime against the state residence of Russia's President.

This incident reaffirms the terrorist nature of those unlawfully holding power in Kiev

Targeting a hostile county's leader may be considered a war crime, if the leader doesn't hold military rank and isn't actually commanding operations they may be considered a civilian under International Law. If anyone else thinks that there's something wrong with someone like Putin sending hundreds of thousands to die on the front line of a war of agression while potentially being protected,, join the club.
