is that it flies in the face of the article you're commenting under,

The article in question in a pro-NATO Anti-Russian propaganda hit-piece. Need say no more.
Incidentally, NATO losses thus far stand at ~ 213k personnel, Russian ~9-10k.

How did you determine either of those incorrect statements? Let's go through your fact gathering skills because you've come to two wrong conclusions there. What evidence led you to decide those two things are true?

    I think I can give a pretty good accounting of that number. Here are two governments' estimates of casualties which I used to inform my post.

    Now, please, I will really enjoy my morning a lot more if you show me which laughably incredible information source you used for 213k dead NATO personnel.

    In addition

    1. I probably see ten unique russians die on r/combatfootage or similar each day. What percent of Ork killings do you think make it to Reddit? Multiply deaths by, what, 100?

    2. Where is russia's prewar army of 300k if you truly believe they have only a handful of casualties? Why did they mobilise if they still had their prewar army?
