russia retreated from a few regions, it's hardly an insurmountable setback while western economies and Ukraine's power infrastructure are collapsing.

Russia retreated from a strategically insignificant village, I chortle, as the last diesel freight truck my generation will ever see drives over the horizon, as the last steel mill closes forever and we move back to a rural agrarian society without electricity and our major cities starve en masse becoming vast crumbling tombs to the past.

I'm sure this is a simplification, but there were a lot of reports of the mobilization being carried out very differently in the regions vs in the core cities, so I feel like soldiers from villages in the periphery dying might be easier to hide. FWIW I think Ukraine is lying their asses off about both Russian and Ukrainian losses too, I just don't see any particular reason to trust Russian figures. Both sides have plenty of incentive to pretend they're inflicting far more harm and receiving far less than what the reality is.

Coming back to that. I think Ukraine can "hide" casualties since society is mobilized and, while there are probably strong regional differences, broadly supportive of the war effort. So there is a general complicity in keeping up moral. That's not true in Russia, so sure, if you take to the streets and declare the MOD is lying about combat deaths the cops will beat you up, but you'd need more than indifference to hide an order of magnitude of deaths. And if you fudge the numbers much less, why even bother?

I think a small part of this probably goes back once again to the Gulf War. Patriots and SCUDs were such a big part of the media story then, and may have displaced the idea that errant munitions landing in a foreign country is part and parcel of a massive conventional war. The expectation that the Good Guys are basically unerring or technology will provide a solution to tonnes of high explosives arcing through the air has led to naïve beliefs about the extent to which war can be sanitized.

With the amount of weapons NATO gave out and to whom, they should be thanking their lucky stars the war spilled outside Ukraine’s border with this and not a downed airliner outside Hamburg or a TOW fired at a Synagogue in Brussels.

Well, about that...

There has been no more better demonstration of the failure of socialism within the Democratic Party than the handling of this war by the supposed socialist caucus.

MTG hues closer to a true anti-war position than AOC or any of them.

Compare and contrast with a real socialist caucus exemplified by Claire Daly in the European Parliament.

anyone have an idea on how the whole thing is playing inside Poland itself? that more than anything likely informs what Zelensky is saying
