(Semafor email daily newsletter) Kyiv claims territory wins REUTERS/Viacheslav Ratynskyi Ukraine hailed early progress in its counteroffensive. Kyiv claimed to have recaptured three villages from Russian forces, advances that were largely confirmed by Russian sources. An even bigger assault is likely coming, analysts said. “There is a big difference between starting an offensive, and the main attack or main effort of the operation,” the former U.S. military commander in Europe wrote, noting that much of the material sent by the West had yet to be deployed. Success is crucial for Ukraine, not simply to win back territory, but to ensure the U.S. and Europe continue to offer military aid and financial backing. And ....... Dire prognosis for Russia post-Putin Two recent essays warn that Russia will suffer the consequences of President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine long after his eventual exit. In Foreign Affairs, the Russia expert Eugene Rumer argued that, in acquiescing to the war, the country’s elite and people were implicated in the conflict. “When Putin does leave power, it is unlikely that Russia’s elites and the general public will wake up and face the legacy of his rule,” he said. In The Guardian, the Russia-focused journalist Peter Pomerantsev wrote that Moscow’s elite lacked any ideas for progress. “Russia claims to be a powerful ‘pole’ in the world to balance the West,” he argued, “but has failed to create a successful political model others would want to join.”
I checked multiple scientific studies, I checked the New York TImes, excess deaths were substantially high compared to the averages so do explain your data when you are going to contradict the Lancet - you know the world's oldest and most prestigious scientific journal. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/23/us/covid-19-death-toll.html
I noticed that both the active Russian supporters on the thread support the war because Putin is anti-woke aka anti-gay, trans, pro-racism, pro-white supremacy, covid conspiracies etc. Pretty much the same reasons why most white conservatives support Russia. There is no more logic to them supporting the invasion which is why their arguments asinine.
Explain how the deadly pandemic had no real influence on overall deaths in 2020, 2021, 2022 when compared to previous years? I cite data from the United Nations, you are posting a graph from NY Times, which supposedly getting data from the Lancet.
Why don't you link your data first? Pandemic had no real influence? Are you out of your mind? Here is an entire paper by UN with data showing huge excess deaths. https://www.who.int/data/sets/global-excess-deaths-associated-with-covid-19-modelled-estimates
Jesus Fucking Christ A note form your data NOTE: All death rate data after 2019 are United Nations projections and therefore DO NOT include any impacts from COVID-19. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/death-rate Unfucking believable.
Says the guy who shows death rate that excludes covid deaths as proof of his conspiracies. shouldn't you be hiding for few days in embarrassment?
