denying it and/or blaming Ukraine or any one actor will not make it go away

but at the same time I think other players are vastly overestimating their own relative power (as russia showed us already), and greatly underestimate our ability to generate combat power with enough motivation

One could argue that the Iraqi disaster encourage our enemies to play their hands before they were ready by making us appear much weaker than we are.

What is the percentage of the military age men in this country who would rather die fighting against the US federal government as opposed to the percentage who would die fighting for it?

A big war is going to need a draft. How many US parents are going to be willing to send their sons get killed in some frozen ditch by a drone? How many are going to be willing to send their daughters?

My humble take: I'd rather die fighting federal troops then let those fucking ghouls take my kids.

The timelag seemed to say Mars.

"I know you, son. You won't."

"But if I did. If I'm the best qualified, if the job's so vital…"

He didn't have to answer. I didn't have to ask. At these kind of stakes, mission-critical elements didn't get the luxury of choice. I wouldn't even have the childish satisfaction of holding my breath and refusing to play—the will to resist is no less mechanical than the urge to breathe. Both can be subverted with the right neurochemical keys.

"You killed my Kurzweill contract," I realized.

"That's the least of what we did."

"a million dead in Europe"

???

I think you mean "just slightly over 40k total (on the Ukrainian side)" brother. Don't take my word for that btw, here's Glorious Ukrainian Leader Zelenskiev explicitly claiming that number in a formal press interview two days ago: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2024/12/08/zelenskiy-says-ukraine-has-lost-43000-soldiers-on-battlefield/. Suffice to say that Dearly Beloved Eternal-President-For-Life Zeleensskieyive wouldn't shamelessly fabricate numbers like that, I mean, it's not like he's some sort of short filthy disgusting amoral faggot lying rat kike!

So can you explain where you're getting "a million dead in Europe" from? Because that's a pretty high number, and it seems like it would be hard to get there from a ~40k baseline unless you're suggesting that >950,000 Russians have died from this conflict in the last 2.5 years.

In which case, wow... that makes for an absolutely incredible ~22:1 kill ratio in favor of the mighty Ukranian army... very impressive stuff, truly amazing, almost unbelievable! Literally!

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5647232&forum_id=2)#48432102)

Right, and I'm asking you to please show your math in support of your affirmative claim that there are now "a million dead in Europe."

Ukrainian casualties:

Amazingly, indeed almost as if by a miracle, only ~40k Ukrainian soldiers have been killed so far (note that this figure is straight from a public interview given by Zelenskieyeve two days ago, and I know we both agree that he's a bold and wonderful wartime leader who would NEVER just shamelessly lie about stuff like that to try and downplay how badly Ukraine has gotten assfukt, so I assume you aren't disputing this number).

Per the UN, we can add in another ~12k dead Ukrainian civilians on top of that (source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293492/ukraine-war-casualties/ ).

Russian casualties:

IDK... you're the one darkly claiming that "a million dead in Europe" is proof that "WWIII has already started" in this thread which you also created specifically to push that exact thesis, so I think this is a pretty important blank for you to fill in to establish the credibility of that shocking "a million dead in Europe" benchmark which you keep throwing around for grand effect even as you simultaneously smear anyone who dares to question you as "a retard." I take it you think the number here is >950,000? I mean, it *must* be, right? That's literally just basic math.

Unless there other significant sources of "European casualties" which I'm forgetting that you think we also need to account for in this equation? But it seems like Ukraine + Russia is pretty much it, no?

I just wish TDNW wouldn't suddenly get super busy attending to his perfect wife and his amazing Aryan children every single time we start getting into one of these online political debates.

I mean, I know he was *just* about to really set me straight here and fully explain all of this in great detail and with full receipts! I just know it!

1:3 ratio for Ukraine and probably 1:2 for russia

I didn’t read your screed just fyi

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5647232&forum_id=2)#48432206)

Whoa -- so you're saying you think your hero Zelenekieve was straight up lying (and not just lying, but SHAMELESSLY LYING BY A FACTOR OF 10x) when he publicly claimed just a few days ago that a mere ~40k Ukrainian soldiers have been killed so far?

But why would he do that?! That's insane... and whoa, if he's willing to shamelessly lie about that, what else might he be lying about?!

:)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5647232&forum_id=2)#48435686)

nor did you understand what ratio I was talking about

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5647232&forum_id=2)#48435794)

You (above): "A MILLION ARE DEAD IN EUROPE!"

Me: "Uh, can you show the math on that? Because according to stats provided by Zelenskyieve + the UN as of a few days ago, the total number of Ukrainians killed in this war (soldiers + civilians) so far is ~55k... so that either means you think that ~950,000 Russians have died, or you're conceding that Zeleneksieyve is a comically absurd bad faith kike liar who is willing to shamelessly push total bullshit about key elements of this war and we probably shouldn't believe anything he says, or...?"

You: "LOL guess you don't know what 'casualty' means, huh champ? Not suprised, fucking retard."

Idk bro... are you using "casualty" to means something other than "dead from the war"?

Because I'm not sure if you noticed this but rn we're poasting in a thread where you claimed that WWIII has started and anyone who disagrees with you about that thesis is a "retard," and in this subthread I'm specifically responding to a poast where you tried to support that thesis by unambiguously claiming that "a million are DEAD [emphasis added] in Europe."

So can you show your math on one million DEATHS (aka your original claim which I am responding to here) in Europe from this war?

Looking forward to you laying it out for me, tyia amigo!

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5647232&forum_id=2)#48435902)

Lol just a chill little "whoops I grossly misrepresented one of the core tenets of my thesis (which you're a 'retard' if you disagree with btw) hehe" moment, lmao.

In a physical sense war involves very small numbers of people, mostly highly-trained specialists, and causes comparatively few casualties. The fighting, when there is any, takes place on the vague frontiers whose whereabouts the average man can only guess at, or round the strategic spots on the sea lanes. In the centres of civilization war means no more than a continuous shortage of consumption goods, and the occasional crash of a rocket which may cause a few scores of deaths.

The world of today is a bare, hungry, dilapidated place compared with the world that existed before, and still more so if compared with the imaginary future to which the people looked forward.
