re: Leaked Pentagon Document - 16 - 17k Russian Troops KIA - 71,500 Ukraine Troops KIA

Fake lol. Even the Russians admit to more than that. Why are you so desperate to find good news in their favor?

One of the slides said 16,000 to 17,500 Russian soldiers had been killed while Ukraine had suffered as many as 71,500 troop deaths.

Come on people! Can we at least verify whether this is accurate or not with a MSNBC link?

Sadly people will still believe what the media tells them

We supposed to believe the Russians turned around and went back?

Well, you want us to believe every Russian in the column was killed, so...

I mean there was a line of Russian troops, mostly in vehicles, stretching like 25 miles long and then there was footage of Ukranians blowing trucks up and you never heard about the line again.

---

You have video of a 25 mile caravan of destroyed equipment?

Link that! I would love to see it.

Let's be realistic...This war has the least amount of video evidence in modern times. I wonder why.

It certainly appears to be falling now.

The lone holdout seem to be a small force in Western Bakhmut.

The US has known the outcome for weeks, we began sending supplies designated for other areas.

If the casualties from each side are the "altered" numbers - we should quit helping a lost cause and negotiate peace.

If the casualties from each side are what WE are reporting, we should continue to aid the fight.

I don't think the financial gain of US companies and politicians should be a factor.

It certainly appears to be falling now. Russia used meat wave attacks a yard or two here and there for 8 months.

That's a very high price to pay for "success."

I'm sure Putin is devastated to lose those Wagner prisoners

Even pro-Ukrainian sources have admitted that they lost a significant number of their best soldiers in Bakhmut. That's absolutely a win for Russia

The OT thread is falling like Bakhmut

Wow, a conventional military is doing better than a bunch of civilians? I am shocked!

All of a sudden they quit saying the numbers were changed. As if everything 5eyes does isn't seen by China & Russia. China probably leaked them. But does it matter?

This is what happens when you are laundering money & the CCP owns you and then aligns against you. The JCS, DOJNSD, Biden admin & Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland all need charged with dereliction of duties, endangering national security 34 counts, 100 counts of treason, sentenced to death. (They always do what they accuse and they want to charge Trump with treason-death)

New batch of classified U.S. documents appear on social media sites

WASHINGTON – A new batch of classified documents that appear to detail U.S. national security secrets from Ukraine to the Middle East to China surfaced on social media sites Friday, alarming the Pentagon and adding turmoil to a situation that seemed to have caught the Biden administration off guard.

The scale of the leak — analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained — along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging, U.S. officials said. A senior intelligence official called the leak “a nightmare for the Five Eyes,” in a reference to the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the so-called Five Eyes nations that broadly share intelligence.

The latest documents were found on Twitter and other sites Friday, a day after senior Biden administration officials said they were investigating a potential leak of classified Ukrainian war plans, include an alarming assessment of Ukraine’s faltering air defense capabilities. One slide, dated Feb. 23, is labeled “Secret/NoForn,” meaning it was not meant to be shared with foreign countries.

Mick Mulroy, a former senior Pentagon official, said the leak of the classified documents represents “a significant breach in security” that could hinder Ukrainian military planning. “As many of these were pictures of documents, it appears that it was a deliberate leak done by someone that wished to damage the Ukraine, U.S., and NATO efforts,” he said.

One analyst described what has emerged so far as the “tip of the iceberg.”

Early Friday, senior national security officials dealing with the initial leak, which was first reported by The New York Times, said a new worry had arisen: Was that information the only intelligence that was leaked?

By Friday afternoon, they had their answer. Even as officials at the Pentagon and national security agencies were investigating the source of documents that had appeared on Twitter and on Telegram, another surfaced on 4chan, an anonymous, fringe message board. The 4chan document is a map that purports to show the status of the war in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, the scene of a fierce, monthslong battle.

But the leaked documents appear to go well beyond highly classified material on Ukraine war plans. Security analysts who have reviewed the documents tumbling onto social media sites say the increasing trove also includes sensitive briefing slides on China, the Indo-Pacific military theater, the Middle East and terrorism.

The Pentagon said in a statement Thursday that the Defense Department was looking into the matter. On Friday, as the disclosures widened, department officials said they had nothing to add. But privately, officials in several national security agencies acknowledged both a rush to find the source of the leaks and a potential for what one official said could be a steady drip of classified information posted on sites.
