The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

Yes, the Russians are leaking information. Those supposed plans list 90,000 Ukrainian KIA as of 5 weeks ago and only 15,000 Russian KIA. The documents are fakes.
All the documents that are spreading on Twitter are fakes?

Interesting. Do you have any links to support this, that I can check out?

Lots of documents are out there right now:

There are a ton of outlets reporting they are fake.


However it isn't any of these outlets that tells me they are obvious fakes, it is that the information doesn't pass the smell test. There is no way Russia only has 15,000 or 17,500 KIA as is presented on the slides. That number is for the consumption of the Russian public. This supposed leak shows: a) the Russians are doing amazingly well -and- b) the Russians are actually fighting America and NATO. It is propaganda.

Thanks I’ll check out these articles. I don’t know the actual totals of KIA on either side because the info I have been reading has a wide range of numbers. But I understand what point. Thanks again.

It is looking like the leak is real, and fake depending on which cache you are looking at.

There was only one image in common between the Telegram and 4chan posts: a map that showed a number of statistics, including the cumulative number of KIA (killed in action) soldiers on the Russian and Ukrainian sides through the course of the war. However, the numbers on these two sources differed, with the first source (4chan) showing more Russian losses than Ukrainian, and the second source (Donbass Devushka) the reverse. A closer examination of the second image, with the much higher Ukrainian KIA numbers, that was posted on Telegram shows crude image manipulation. As well as the later posting time and far blurrier resolution, the numbers are out of alignment. Spacing between some numbers and letters is also too large to be consistent with the font.

It therefore seems that either the Donbass Devushka Telegram account, or a previous source posted by this account, altered the original image to paint the Ukrainian losses as heavier than in the original assessment. Nevertheless, neither of the sources for the 4chan or Telegram posts are the original.

Sadly, much of the support Putin enjoys from the American right is nothing more than just outright bigotry towards fellow Americans. He’s seen as a defender of white conservative Christianity.

The tweet said "warn", but I didn't hear a warning in that clip.
In a world where everyone is looking for reasons to be offended even mentioning that something might be better if it were restricted a bit comes across as a dire warning that needs to be railed against ad nauseum.
