🚨BREAKING: The first image of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath about Jeffery Epstein to the Republican Oversight Committee.
This is the first time Hillary has had to answer real questions about Epstein. Clinton does not look happy.

Russian battlefield losses: In a normal modern conflict with effective medical care and logistics, the killed-to-wounded ratio is about 1:3 or 1:4. That would imply:
250,000 to 333,000 killed in 1 million total casualties.
This death toll is higher than all Soviet losses in Afghanistan (15,000) and comparable to WWII-scale attrition—but over just 2.5 years.
These losses are heavily concentrated in:
Younger rural and ethnic minority men, e.g., from Buryatia, Dagestan, and Tuva.
Poorer oblasts
As of mid-2025, one of the least understood—and most contested—dimensions of the Russia-Ukraine war is the true scale of Russian losses. While battlefield territory may shift and economic pressures rise and fall, the irreversible human cost is mounting daily. /5
This aligns with:
Ukrainian and NATO assessments,
Russian funeral data and obituaries (e.g., Mediazona & BBC Russian Service, who’ve independently confirmed over 50,000 names and suggest 5–10x as many unreported),
Testimony from wounded soldiers and POWs. /4
A conservative but realistic estimate, averaging across various theaters and phases of the war, would put Russia’s total killed in action (KIA) at:
⚫ 375,000 to 450,000 deaths,
depending on intensity and time period considered. /3
I will boycott any Western company that returns to Russia before Russia leaves Ukraine. Am I alone in this?
