Good commentary. Some guy came back from month in UA and said access is extremely restricted compared to other wars. He was covering war for Harpers. Some Irish MP makes goods comments. Good points that the militaries KNOW how many troops are still alive each day.
At 4 min Irish MP describes what US journalist Seth Harp reported back. Hard to get info that does not come from the UA MOD and is homogenized.

Kim Iversen: Piss-Poor Ukraine War Reporting INSULTS American’s Intelligence
Well, since 95% of Jurno's are Marxists following party line orders and obedient to the demands of Deep State...their role can hardly be described as surprising on any topic...
As for insulting American's intelligence...well, what had been a long-time goal of DemCom's has also become a core practice among RINO/AINO/Establishment Cucks...its just the latter wasn't revealed in all its depravity until the rise of Donald Trump.
Now days, those not insulting our intelligence is a much shorter list to work from...
Even then, with most all...a measure of salt is needed, the only question is how large a portion is required?
Kim Iversen has a knack for drilling into the heart of things. I realize her philosophy major was not nuclear physics but she at least had to learn different ways of looking at things. Back before The Hill she did a two part analysis of the Kurds that was much different from the the MSM and also one on the Uighurs.
Here she notes that the militaries know how many of their soldiers are alive each night. Yet the numbers are wildly different.
After observing this invasion for a while here are my conclusions.
The Russians do not report setbacks and defeats.
The Russians do not report the whole truth.
The Russians over estimate enemy casualties because all armies do. See US in Vietnam.
The Russians may under report their own casualties or they may not.
The Russians do not lie or bluff. They must see some advantage in that. They have a dry daily report.
The Ukrainians lie and spin 24/7. It is reported as fact by the MSM. It seems to work for them.
If the Ukraine military collapses it will seem odd because of the spin they are winning.
Zelensky and his backing oligarch have show business and TV backgrounds so they continue with that.
It is OK to call NAZIs NAZIs.
NAZIs do bad things as part of their beliefs.
NAZIs have an outsized influence in the Ukraine military and govt.
I SUSPECT that Ukraine is greatly under reporting casualties. That will not be known for a long time.
