900k represents killed plus wounded. 200k were killed, but it's still a huge number.

almost 417,000 American lives were lost in World War 2 and we were fighting in Europe and the Pacific. 900,000 in a small region in three years is incredibly large.

Many of us block that xit and since it goes through the musk xitter-maker, how can we trust it?
Even just a one or two sentence description of the contents would be most welcome.
Thank you.

Putin lost territory and troops in this invasion
Reminder: after around 900k total casualties, russia currently occupies 19% of Ukraine. It occupied 30% three years ago, when it had less than 100k total casualties. Letâs stop pretending that russia is in a position of strength. Itâs only the US that tries to put it in one

you fight back. It's dangerous, but essential, it seems to me.

It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.
