"...According to one of the documents, Russian forces had suffered 189,500 to 223,000 casualties as of February, including as many as 43,000 troops killed in action. Ukraine, meanwhile, had suffered 124,500 to 131,000 casualties, with up to 17,500 killed in action, the report says." https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/09/politics/pentagon-leaked-documents-us-spying-allies-foes/index.html We are meant to believe that the state of play in terms of casualties given the widely accepted disparity in firepower generally put even by the western side as somewhere between 5 to 1 and to 10 to 1 in Russia's favour, but that "somehow" Ukraine has less than half the fatalities of Russia? We've discussed these ludicrous claims numerous times here as the kind of propaganda pumped out by the USM and MOD for public flag-waving purposes but it makes no rational sense to find this kind of obvious disinformation in a supposed leaked internal document. The supposed leak might be mooted as damaging to western interests but that one disparity alone suggests there's something very off about all this . If genuine then it appears the NATO "Groupthink" has sunk so deep that the intelligence minions are no longer allowed to apply such basic concepts as "cause and effect": that seems somewhat hard to accept.
