The BBC, clown-level outlet, is just pumping it out:

Invisible Losses: Tens of thousands fighting for Russia are dying unnoticed on the frontline in Ukraine

I wonder how that would be physically possible. I suppose when you have to mentally accomodate what Kiev tells you and what you are seeing, the only way out is to declare it "invisible"

> Over 95,000 people fighting for Russia's military have now died as the war in Ukraine enters the fourth year, according to data analysed by the BBC.
> This figure doesn't include those who were killed serving in the militia of the self-proclaimed Donbas republics which we estimate to be between 21,000 and 23,500 fighters.
> BBC Russian, independent media group Mediazona and volunteers have been counting deaths since February 2022.
> The list includes names of the deceased that we verified using information from official reports, newspapers, social media, and new memorials and graves. The real death toll is believed to be much higher.

And at the end:

> The website Ukraine Losses, which compiles casualty data from open sources, currently lists more than 70,400 surnames of Ukrainian soldiers. Our verification of a random sample of 400 of them found the database to be reliable.
> The Ukrainian casualty list is likely more complete than the Russian equivalent, as Ukrainian presidential decrees on posthumous military awards remain publicly accessible. In Russia such data is classified.

This is a joke.

Today is the Russian Orthodox Christmas, but it is also unfortunately a day of extreme and growing international tension.

Obviously the big news story over the last week has been the US attack on Venezuela and the abduction of President Maduro. Trump has now set out his conditions, demanding that Venezuela give a proportion of its oil (perhaps most or even all of it) to the US to be sold and the profits to be allocated by him. The repercussions of this affair cannot be exaggerated.

However we have lots of other things happening as well:

There is a superpower confrontation between the US and Russia already shaping up, with Russia apparently deploying a (nuclear?) submarine to protect a tanker the US is trying to seize.

There are the threats against and the domestic crisis inside Iran where the Pezeshkian government looks to me likely to unravel.

There is the European 'coalition of the willing' summit in Paris which has doubled down on support for Ukraine and the deployment of a European ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Hope to see you all asap.
