British Ministry of Propaganda claims Russia has likely lost one third of its military force in Ukraine

British Intelligence — an oxymoron

 

From Reuters:

 

 

Russia has probably lost around a third of the ground forces it deployed to Ukraine and its offensive in the Donbas region "has lost momentum and fallen significantly behind schedule", British military intelligence said on Sunday.

 

"Despite small-scale initial advances, Russia has failed to achieve substantial territorial gains over the past month whilst sustaining consistently high levels of attrition," the British defence ministry said on Twitter.

 

"Russia has now likely suffered losses of one third of the ground combat force it committed in February."

This obviously silly story has spread . . .

 

. . . unquestioned, around the world.

 

Just Google any one of the quotes from it. A long list of mindless re-parrots crops up.

 

Repetition among The Stupid (the Propaganda God has declared) breeds reliable fact.

 

 

Let's examine the absurdity . . .

 

. . . of British Intelligence's reported claims.

 

How do the Brits know what Russia's plan and schedule was?

 

Why would British Intelligence assume that Russia — far more experienced in waging successful existential war than any other nation on Earth — would make an initial special military operation plan — and then foolishly assume that they would not have to change it to meet evolving circumstances?

 

Even the Russians, the superciliously silly West must grant, are not as braindead as our Propaganda Machines imply.

 

And how does a "now likely" one-third troop loss become a probably for sure fact?

 

Especially so, when the Brits — comfortable in their unthreatened, London-based, oak-paneled rooms' armchairs — haven't fought a real war for 77 years.

 

 

Even the Falklands War was a pissants' game by any comparatively pertinent martial standard.

 

And none of the more recent Wars against Little Brown People count either.

 

That's because those courageous 'insurgent' folk had (and have) neither air superiority, nor anything comparable to the West's massive armaments.

 

 

Similarly, how do these (presumably monocled and chest-bestarred) British folk know that Russian forces are "sustaining consistently high levels of attrition"?

 

Do the UK's Airheads have the gift of out-of-body battlefield swooping?

 

After all, we all know that — if Britain wants to know what's going on in Satellite View — they will have to beg the orbit-dominating Americans for the information.

 

 

The moral? — British Intelligence suffered a worrisome one-third drop . . .

 

. . . in Intelligence Quotient, after the Russo-Ukrainian War began.

 

Must be something that those evil Russians oozed into the air.

 

See? We can all do this kind of fact-reporting.

 

By the way, is also 'now likely' that the Queen is pregnant.

 

Pass it on.
