    How is this breaking? They’re in a war against mostly unarmed civilians. The shocking part is that .01% are actually facing consequences? “Breaking: 4 Russian soldiers missing” can someone tell me why one is a breaking news story while the other wouldn’t even be mentioned other than the weekly update on Russian losses?

      It’s like how people are getting excited about Gavin Newsom’s dank memes.

      When the opposition is winning in every aspect, even a minor piece of opposition becomes remarkable.

        Oh I don’t doubt how low their losses are because they’re mostly fighting unarmed civilians, often while just trying to get something to eat.
