  • To be completely honest I don't know what I viable source would be. I for sure do not have it from the horses mouth the way I thought I did. I know that I read that number on RT, however, it looks to me like RT might have been running a story from a British source because when I look now I see this one. And unless it's coming from an officers mouth it's gonna be hard to defend as a source.

    Lots of claims from both sides regarding "leaks"

    But I suspect that is all just backdoor misdirection and propaganda games.

    There is this org that is clearly run by western institutions but they do seem to be intent on providing a counter narrative to the standard American one.

    Could you point me to information or sources that you trust regarding the conflict? I have found it increasingly difficult to trust anything I hear these days.

  • According to both Russia and the west, 1 million Russians have died. 100% with you about Gaza. I see the power dynamic differences and I see Israels openness regarding ethnic cleansing and colonization. But being quite about intentions to colonize doesn't make it less insidious.

  • Something that always fucks with me about this is that even by Russia's own admission something like 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the war. Those are WW2 numbers! A million casualties in a modern fight is absolutely insane. And the only reason we don't call it a genocide is that they are armed and share cultural and blood ties to the people they are fighting. I say that Hamas was fighting for freedom when it did what it did and now an asymmetric power dynamic is leading to their destruction. That has a lot of the same characteristics as how the Russian/Ukrainian conflict started and why it continues. I am devastated by the 400 thousand or more dead now in Gaza. But somehow, for some reason that I can only conclude is, "Well they're Russian, it's how they do it." excuses it as merely war and not "war crimes" True Gaza is a concentration camp and Russia is not. True that Russia is in the fight and not merely "resisting." which is all the Gaza can do anymore. But Jesus H. 1 MILLION!
