Re: “Russia is sending poorly trained troops into Ukraine to get slaughtered. Ukraine has a LOT of combat veterans now - both well trained before the war and now well trained and experienced.”All I know is what I see: Ukraine is the one that's retreating. I think that means it's losing.

I have a beef with reports that only site "Sources." Too often, they're propaganda or lies. Once upon a time, that wasn't the case. Reporters and networks prided themselves on accuracy. It's a different world today. Only a fool would believe a reporter he's not knowledgeable about and who doesn't name his source. Confirmation from multiple reporters is better, but I really need named sources or reporters I've come to think highly of.

A great example of this is the occasional report I still find of white, wormlike clots being pulled from bodies by embalmers. I've been seeing the stories for years. I've seen the photos and videos. I still don't know if it's true, or a distortion of something embalmers have said or a total lie. If it were true, I'd expect to see credible sources confirming the report. After all, every decently big town has an embalmer or two, right?

But the stories keep surfacing. I wish somebody would put the subject to bed, one way or the other. I've been burned by it more than once, posting to Facebook only to be told my assertion was rubbish... then finding that the source is unnamed or lacking credibility... or that it originated on Natural News. Rather annoying.

I don't believe Ukraine's casualties are anywhere near that figure.

Ukraine War Casualties Near Half a Million, U.S. Officials Say - The ...
Aug 18, 2023U.S. officials said Ukraine had suffered close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000

Adding up 70,000 plus 120,000 comes up a LOT short of a 'half a million'. 'Somebody' LIED.

On the other hand, Russia's casualties are estimated to be 400,000. From early in the war Ukraine was blowing apart Russian tanks, Russian fuel trucks, Russian troop transports. HIMARS missile systems were used to very good effect to kill Russian troop concentrations and supply depots.

Between 2014 and 2022 NATO spent quite a bit of time training the Ukrainian Army. Trump sent Ukraine Javelin anti-tank missiles. Ukraine is also said to have excellent battlefield medical care, Russia - not so much.

Russia is sending poorly trained troops into Ukraine to get slaughtered. Ukraine has a LOT of combat veterans now - both well trained before the war and now well trained and experienced.

Russia is also said to be not meeting their recruiting goals.

Both articles do continue.
