And this is likely a gross undercount as well. Record keeping has never been Russia’s strong suit and the desire to sweep these things under the rug is strong.
These were human beings. They had hopes, dreams, hobbies, families. What a horrible, horrible waste of human life. Fuck war. All that bloodshed, for what? To stroke Putin’s ego? This is such bullshit.
He gave an interview saying things were boring and they needed “dvizhuka” (action)
Putin doesn’t care, no more than Stalin. Stalin’s tactics involved sacrificing large numbers of troops. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8fWp-i-BGA&t=61s
They died for nothing. Such senseless loss.
To the goons running the show, that’s probably seen as a small number. From Wikipedia:
Russia has an estimated population of 146.0 million as of 1 January 2025, down from 147.2 million recorded in the 2021 census. It is the most populous country in Europe, and the ninth-most populous country in the world.
Nah, fake war
I’ve heard a lot of shitty justifications for Russia, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard outright denial if the war itself.
Whenever I see a fresh account say such a troll thing I assume they have no clue how Lemmy works and they just want to get high engagement on their stuff. Responding to them instead of a single downvote just feeds their plans or attention seeking.
Most wars are fake nowadays but this one really takes the cake
So good of you to out yourself as someone to block
fake fake fake
