The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.
You denied the same numbers you have provided as your sources.
Then you said as proof that the US number of Russian deaths you think are correct are incorrect, I should check your source, Wikipedia, which has no US-estimated numbers of deaths.
And finally you want to know why I agree with the 300k 30k numbers.
All casualty reports, including those from Russia, and the Wikipedia page you keep referencing, agrer that there have been hundreds of thousands of casualties in the Russian side, and far fewer casualties on the Ukrainian side.
These numbers make perfect sense since Ukraine has so much global support, advanced weapons and funding while Russia does not.
These numbers make sense because Russia’s military predictions had their victory occurring at one week or less, and they’ve taken over two years so far, demonstrating how weak their military is.
These numbers make sense because every credible source agrees on the numbers of over 300000 casualties.
So if we choose to believe that those numbers are correct, Russians are losing soldiers two to one, have taken over 100 times longer than they thought to complete this mission, and are burdened with sanctions that will cripple them economically in the frail hopes that they’ll be able to tenuously secure two regions of a country that take their ass for two years now?
That weak Russian military force and its leaders that have ended up ruining their own countries future prospects are the losers. Russia is the loser here.
and are burdened with sanctions that will cripple them economically
American propaganda. Those sanctions have harmed the US more than russia. It might be one of the things that changes how economics around the world works.
And its still not 2 to 1, it would be 3 to 2, and russia has a much larger population to draw from. Ukraine is losing, and the best stat to confirm this is their median soldier age of 43, they are running out of people.
Wow! I’d love to hear your reasoning on how with the US dollar is booming, low unemployment, GDP growing every quarter, interest lowering, consumer spending rising, somehow the US sanctions on russia are hurting the u.s more than Russia.
What a topsy turvy world you live in.
Russian has basically insured that their top export will become largely irrelevant in the next decade, without any sanctions.
That’s not the win you seem to think it is.
Also, yes, if you make up numbers, it can sound like Russia isn’t losing as bad as it is losing, if you also ignore how they’re crippling their nation economically, diplomatically and militarily for at least decades and are getting their asses kicked for 2 years now by a country they thought they would take over in a week, without any significant permanent land gains.
Russia is losing hard.
And again, even if they get their measly two provinces temporarily, the decades of diplomatic and economic blackballing they’ll endure for at least decades, especially since everyone knows now how weak the Russian military is now, has severely ruined their future.
All Russia has done with this is make himself look terrible. Morally, prove that you can’t trust any treaties they sign, show how weak their military is, and ruin them financially and diplomatically.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is going to be supported globally and be receiving restitution from Russia for decades, after having kicked their ass in a war Russia loudly proclaimed they would win and have lost for 2 years.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Okay, so let’s back up a moment and center here.
You denied the same numbers you have provided as your sources.
Then you said as proof that the US number of Russian deaths you think are correct are incorrect, I should check your source, Wikipedia, which has no US-estimated numbers of deaths. And finally you want to know why I agree with the 300k 30k numbers.

Including your sources.
Source: wiki, which is whatever they link to.
The US estimate of causalities; Russia - 315k - current
Ukraine - 170-190k - as of August, so its higher now
See sources in wiki for more details!
So if we choose to believe that those numbers are correct, Russians are losing soldiers two to one, have taken over 100 times longer than they thought to complete this mission, and are burdened with sanctions that will cripple them economically in the frail hopes that they’ll be able to tenuously secure two regions of a country that take their ass for two years now?

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.

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.
Russia’s economy is growing faster than Europe’s lol
That is a lol.
