      I don’t think they’re a troll, what you stated is a common misconception. And you were wrong initially. Over or underinflating casualty counts is a big deal and it’s best to be accurate. It’s a notoriously difficult thing to measure.

      Sigh. 300,000 dead Russian soldiers have been named by independent media. A million dead is realistic. The number of casualties is in the millions. What number of 100,000s people dead passes the threshold for you?

      Independent media like Zona named 112k, while, well, CSIS estimated 250k, which is well lesser than one million.

      You too please have a good day and don’t forget to drink enough water
