So how do you go from "significant" losses to claim those losses surpassed those of civilians. The UN commission that gave the number of civilian dead also said that it was. almost certainly an undercount.

Whatever the exact figures are such high ("significant") losses of the invading army - and the number of Russian generals killed -  show quite a different style of invasion.  And its purpose.  Quite different what the world has watched in the previous wars with missiles, drones and fireworks, not with the street fight.  Then, no casualties to the invading army - nor to their generals - but even more to the population. And no millions of refugees who were happy to be allowed to escape via humanitarian corridors.  In fact, it's the first time we are hearing this term, aren't we?  (another new term is "re-grouping")

 

And in those wars the local bodies were not counted, only by volunteers, however, what happened to most of them?

Not really an age thing, more. class thing - if you are rich ruling elite or just an ordinary citizen.

"While it might not be on official lists of Russian equipment, researchers previously spotted footage of Tochka-U systems being deployed in Belarus over the course of March, disproving Russia’s claims of not using them."

This is, of course, more nonsense. Russia's Chechen war turns out to have been actually quite similar to its conduct in the Ukraine.  Massive bombing and massive use of Russian troops and Chechen soldiers as well.

In Iraq US ground troops were engaged mostly in urban warfare. And later alongside lots of Iraqi troops to stage a counteroffensive against Isis. And lots of bombing. The difference here of course is that Isis was loathed by the Shia majority whereas the Ukrainian troops have the overwhelming support of the locals. Another difference is in the quality of the military. Clearly, Russian troops are poorly led. The assault on Kyiv was a disaster. 

And the reason so many generals and other high officers have died is twofold.

For one, a defective communication system with left Russian forces with no choice but to use mobile phones to coordinate their movements. Unfortunately for them, that means that their generals were easily locatable.

For another, the quality of the officer class in Russia is poor. Generals can't trust their subordinates to get it right so they have to expose themselves to danger. It may be morally satisfying in a way to see a general at the front, but if he's any good at strategy, that's a foolish risk to take. Unless there's no choice. 

As for your point about civilian deaths...before you were claiming that they were less than those of Russian forces...but now you're claiming it's unknowable?

Yes I believe he does believe in conspiracy theories:

 

Mr Orban stands accused of eroding Hungary’s democracy and has previously expressed islamophobic and antisemitic views - including conspiracy theories about Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros.

 

And his stances on the major issues of the day, including the Russia-Ukraine war, have also come under fire. Mr Orban was one of the last foreign leaders Putin met before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, Mr Orban traded jokes with Putin and celebrated the pair’s longevity in office.

If an honest, non-partisan fellow like Orban needs proof, who are we to doubt him?

 

Orban's Hungary risks EU funding cut over corruption fears

The EU executive on Tuesday launched a never-used procedure against Hungary that could see the Hungarian government stripped of EU funding for falling short on anticorruption and flouting democratic standards.

ADVERTISING

The move comes two days after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban won re-election with an overwhelming majority, claiming his victory as a win over liberal values defended by Brussels.

The nationalist and ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin is frequently accused in Brussels of backsliding on democratic norms

Hungary: where editors tell reporters to disregard facts before their eyes

Welcome to the media in Hungary, where NGOs are blacklisted, critical stories are binned and senior editors instruct journalists to disregard the facts before their eyes. “We have reached a situation where our position is now much much worse than it was back in the 1980s when Hungary was a communist country,” said one person with decades of experience of Hungarian state media, recalling the days when the central European country was described as “the happiest barracks” in the eastern bloc, for its relative freedom.

“The situation back then in terms of censorship and state interference in public service journalism is nowhere near, nowhere near, the situation right now,” the person told the Guardian.

^Actually, whether Hungary is a corrupted country it's off-topic, same as its democracy and other views. Mr. Orban was elected by landslide, repeatedly, quite exceptional among other countries.

 

The problem is that he dares to ask for an independent investigation, what's also quite exceptional among other leaders. 

 

  

 

^I see one of our Putin trolls is still spilling out sludge to confuse the issues.  I don't  know whether to thank you guys for relentlessly smashing down his bs, or criticise you for feeding it.  I guess happily, either way, the nonsense is clear and the weaker shills have given up.

No, not off topic since it says a lot about the character of Orban. Moreover, the suppression of independent media is of obvious concern when it comes to elections.

As for an independent investigation...This is just another disinformation tactic. Does any allegation, no matter how absurd, merit independent investigations? This reminds me of climate change or covid vaccine denialists who call for debate based on claims for evidence that is obviously faulty or non existent.

Yes, it is clear. They wanted to kill children and they succeeded. The Russian tactic is now brutality and war crimes to try to force a compromise. The Russian military are subjected to the same propaganda as everybody else, including yourself it seems.

Sure. I totally get how a suppressed people can see a friend in a dictator. I'm sure they're also proud of having Myanmar as their neighbor. National delusion and possibly even a case or Stockholm syndrome. And a total lack of education of course. Dangerous combination.

and the kicker ….Low IQ ( average 90   In Thailand) . Divide is Right / Informed vs. Wrong/ Misinformed. Nothing to with age or country. 
Average Thai cares practically Nothing about what happens outside their Village.

Russias original first goal was simply to Wreck Ukraine making it impossible ( if it wasn’t before) for Ukraine to join EU or NATO.
That included getting (ten) millions of civilians on the move away from their homes (economic & societal disruption). That required sufficient fear from a few civilian deaths ( 4,000 ?) by shelling residential areas & civilian infrastructure ( rail stations, etc).

So that Russia would inherit an economic wreck? Please share with us the knowledgeable authorities who back your claim. Just more nonsense from you.
