The only surprise is seeing the lengths actual traitors will go to deliberately conflate millions of death records with the war-related subset to discredit the suffering of their own people. Protecting Putin matters more to these than the hundreds of thousands of Russians sent to die.
Replying to @PyotrsKurzin
Pyotr believes a leak that has 5 year old toddlers, 90 year old grandma's and people who died before 2022. What a surprise.

How Russian fatalities break down based on where in Ukraine. ~45,000 over Pokrovsk…yet those most desperate will claim everything is fine with the SMO. Other than Putin, they’re the bigger traitors

🇷🇺⚰️ Leaked Russian records point to 450,000 Russians dead in Putin's war. Thats 100x what the US saw in Iraq. Not casualties. Fatalities. In 1939, the Soviet Union lost 126,000 men in the Winter War in Finland, and the world decided the Red Army was a paper tiger. This is more than three times that. For 73,000 square kilometres of ground, that's one Russian death for every 16 hectares. Unverified, but it sits inside other estimates. The UK Ministry of Defence says more than half a million likely died. Putin promised to restore Russia's greatness. He is burying a generation in someone else's land.

Trump on Truth Social: I had an excellent conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar, wherein much was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others, would prefer the status quo, in other words, a continuation of the Greatest Naval Blockade in History, and the new Operation Iron Gate — Therefore, Land and Sea. All have agreed that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon — That is non-negotiable! Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is “locked and loaded” and ready to go. At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely. Israel, and the entire Middle East, are protected from Iranian danger and threats. We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America’s interests are at all times protected. At the conclusion of this Military Engagement, the American People, and the World, will be far safer and more secure

US and Iranian forces are once again trading fire in the Strait of Hormuz tonight, with missile launches, explosions, and airstrikes reported in Bandar Abbas and on Qeshm Island.

A group of hackers published classified data on Russian soldiers killed in the war, from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat. In late August, the total was 450,100 (around 100k per year). It is in line with other independent estimates. There is also a regional breakdown.

Rubio thinking long and hard about his political career and presidential aspirations. Personal over party commitments
BREAKING: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is 'weighing whether to leave the Trump administration' after mid-term results, according to Bloomberg report.

🇺🇸💥🗳️ There is a limit to how far American politics can go. Last night, voters found it. X is not a reflection of reality. Those with the strongest opinions, have the loudest voices. But its the silent majority that choose the outcome. And choose they did. Kansas has elected a Democrat to the Senate. The last time was 1932. Texas. South Carolina. States Trump carried two years ago. Trump told Americans to treat these midterms as though he were on the ballot. They took him at his word. It's a colossal humiliation. But it's about far more than Trump. This could be the first sign of healing in American politics. The beginning of the end of its polarisation. Extremism moved the window. The silent majority just moved it back. Full video in first comment ↓ | Follow @PyotrsKurzin for more

Many in Europe will now be tempted to believe a day will come where things can 'go back to normal' with a post-Trump US. It won't, and it can't. Halting now would be a historic blunder. Shifting towards strategic autonomy must continue as it reflects a new reality beyond Europe is unprepared for. Dependence, or better yet, complacency was Europe's comfort. It has become its greatest vulnerability.

Aged like a fine milk
Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro agree that Americans don't care about the Iran War and it won't have any effect on the midterms. 🤡
