Yeah they are doing great bud. Lets say even 15,000 casualties into a 3 day special operation.

Also a terrible argument, its not difficult to improve from the trash can fire that was post-soviet Russia.


Let me know when the same improve is done by any country under us control ty

I see people talk about the Russian losses quite a bit, but doesn't it make sense considering they are fighting a NATO trained and equipped army? The AFU are pretty serious, they've been trained by the best in the world and they have logistical support from the most powerful countries in the world.

I think a lot people viewed this as analogous to US vs Iraq because people generally didn't know a lot about Ukraine before this all started, at least I know I didn't lol.

Ukraine has been constantly in the US media since Crimea was annexed

Talking about Russian losses is a literal military strategy, I support Ukraine but they are obviously taking major losses that aren't reported widely.

A lot of things are mentioned in US media that I wouldnt consider the average person to be very well educated or interested in, I wouldn't say Ukraine was a very hot topic for the general population before the most recent offensive, would you?

Yes, it's called propaganda.

I would bet that Ukraine is only in the news now because of inflation, gas prices etc which matters for midterms. The US population still isn't talking about stuff like their involvement in Somalia for example, because it doesn't affect them directly

The average American isn't known to be well educated or knowledgeable, not sure what that proves

Well my whole point is that I don't agree that Ukraine isn't talked about. At minimum it was everywhere after Crimea in 2014.

You seem to be saying it hasn't been reported in mainstream media, and my point is that this doesn't say anything because MSM pivots all the time and average Americans don't influence much, they get influenced
