        413,000 Russian troops lost so far to Ukraine’s 31,000.

        Hold up, do you actually believe this?

            I am not being tricked, I dont believe those numbers, I have no idea what the numbers are.

            So you do actually believe those numbers?

              I believe those or similar numbers provided by every country analyzing casualties in this war, including Russia.

              You don’t. Why?

                Because they are obviously propaganda. If you believe “the bad guys” have lost 13x more men than “the good guys” then I dont really know what to tell you. I have one stat that will help you realize you are being lied to; Ukraines militaries median age is up 10 years to 43 years old in the past two years or so. [Cue furious googling to figure out how to dismiss this data as normal]

                  So your baseless “believies” are telling you that Russia and every other international corroborating report is strategically overreporting Russia’s losses.

                  Why?

                  Also, the age of the Ukrainian military is going up as the younger generation(comprising much of the military, especially the front lines) is killed and the age of recruitment has been repeatedly heightened.

                  No googling required.

                    Those numbers are underreported for Ukraine and probably overreported for Russia. The reason is obviously propaganda on all sides.

                    Also, the age of the Ukrainian military is going up as the younger generation(comprising much of the military, especially the front lines) is killed and the age of recruitment has been repeatedly heightened.

                    Exactly, and now think about when the military is a million people or so, how many would need to be dead or wounded for the number to rise by 10 years.

                    But you’re claiming that Ukraine has only lost 31,000 troops, with means a fatality rate that is completely negligible on demographic scales.
