     "The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in  Ukraine,
     throughout May and June 2024, increased to conflict highs of  1,262 and
     1,163 respectively," the MoD wrote.  "In total, Russia likely  lost
     (killed and wounded) in excess of 70,000 personnel over the past  two
     months."

    It always amazes me how many Americans allegedly support Putin in this ridiculous suicide mission of a "war".


    Nice to hear although this could be straight up propaganda and probably
    is. Even the article talks first about large attacks and then about
    small groups... so probably not as massive casualties from the latter.

    Then again, maybe it's possible as/if Ukraine has gotten those Czech
    initiative cannon shells etc and now able to use it effectively, while
    Russian military seems always slow to react.

    Also, would seem plausible that Ukraine army is able to take all out of
    their recently increased/above mentioned firepower since they have had
    to use ammunition sparingly & according to reports have had to trust on artillery accuracy rather than mass.


    Meanwhile, Trump's sweetheart and Putin's new bestie just executed 60
    middle schoolers for watching South Korean TV.

    Sounds like fake news.
    Yes, we "know" that dprk has harsh punishments on watching western
    brain-rot but this sounds over-the-top reaction. Now everyone knows that
    few years on re-education camp should be the correct punishment for such unseemly act.

    Oops, 30 not 60...

    To be fair, it was for watching Gangnam Style on an endless loop.

    Completely understandable.


    Yes.

    Even worse, they could have been watching (South-)Korean cheerleaders. https://youtu.be/v2XtpiJrNOU?t=30

    So I should trust you over these reports because you think probably the sentences are too harsh for an imprisoned nation?

    "Sounds like fake news" hardly means one should "trust" anyone. Just saying.

    Although, perhaps someone with dprk.kp as their email address might be
    privy to some inside information...
