    Ukrainian officials estimated this week that more than 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the conflict

    I just wanna call this out as misinfo. Ukraine's claimed numbers are casualties which includes killed and wounded. I don't know if Ukraine has any claim for number killed, but estimates are around 300k, though the fact that Russia sends soldiers on crutches to the front lines, some of those might be double counted.

    Yep, pretty sure in former USSR, they count wounded as casualties so perhaps Ukraine has adopted the same practice.

      Makes you wonder if they acknowledge how bad they messed up. Or is this fine because they escaped the woke. I love the part in the article that says they followed some other influencer trying to get people to move, but was only able to get this family and 1 other to do it. A lot of dumb choices here, its amazing how they somehow feel like they were wronged when they had to do a lot of choices to get to this point.

      A lot of people realised they're wrong, they are just too proud to admit.

        Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.

        Gonna go dark on this: in South East Asia the "expats" are notoriously known as sexpats because they are sex tourists.

          What a shocker. This is like the handful of Western teenage girls who went to Afghanistan to try and be good Muslims, then discovered that meant being married off to some Islamic State soldier twice their age. Like what the fuck did you think was going to happen?

          I was interested in this story and tried to search but couldn’t find any news articles about it. Do you have a source article about this happening?

                I know of a number of cases in the Netherlands, I'm sure the US had its own stories. Sorry, I don't have links available but DuckDuckGo it?
