In Canada there are secret casualties in this war. The same must be true of France and the USA. Canadian casualties are mentioned in this same attack.
But who’s counting?
I’ve had it with Canadian secret wars and secret wartimes are a good time governments but the advantages of citizenship are too great to revoke. So I will claim dual citizenship in Xanadu. I will now self identify as a Xanaduian, I.e. nationality, not a new dickless gender.

If we knew how many Canadians were fighting in Ukraine, and we had a list of the dead, we could develop some kind of idea about the fruitlessness of this war.
It’s the same with the number of Russian lawyers that have died in this war.
“It is also worth highlighting the strong involvement of lawyers in the special military operation. Fifty-eight were mobilised, and another 218 volunteered to serve. These are significant figures that reflect the deep civic commitment of the Russian legal community. Sadly, 24 lawyers have lost their lives and 36 have been wounded.
Vladimir Putin: 75,000 lawyers?
Konstantin Chuychenko: Yes, 75,000 currently in practice. But if we proceed with the proposed reforms to professionalise legal representation through the bar, I believe we may eventually reach 100,000.”

Canadian military officers have been deployed to Ukraine as part of Operation UNIFIER, which began in 2015 to provide military training and support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This operation has trained over 45,000 Ukrainian personnel and continues to adapt in response to the ongoing conflict with Russia.

(How do they train the Ukrainians not to frag their officers, like what happened in Vietnam? I suppose there is always military cohesiveness and military pride, even among Nazis.)

‘They saved my life that day’: The inside story of a Canadian wounded in Ukraine
Russian attack occurred on last patrol before soldier was to return to Canada for a visit
[“CBC first met the 34-year-old native of Sherbrooke, Que., more than two years ago, shortly after he arrived in Ukraine, along with an approximate 20,000 other experienced foreign fighters, to volunteer in the battle against Russia. That figure comes from the Lieber Institute, part of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
A Canadian’s brush with death on Ukraine’s front lines
A Canadian soldier fighting in Ukraine had a recent brush with death after being badly wounded in an attack from Russian forces. The CBC’s David Common brings us a rare window into the war through the eyes of this Canadian fighter, known as Shadow.
It’s not clear how many Canadians have taken part, but some estimates suggest around 550 over the entirety of this chapter in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Global Affairs Canada (GAC) doesn’t track the number of front-line deaths of Canadians in Ukraine, but told CBC it “is aware of the deaths of 20 Canadians in Ukraine since February 24, 2022.” GAC said those aren’t necessarily all combat deaths.”]

Canadian military support to Ukraine – Canada.ca
Canada’s military contributions, including training, equipment, and transport, have been integral in Ukraine’s counter offensive to-date, and we will continue to provide Ukraine with the support it needs to defend its sovereignty, freedom, and independence.

There’s one other guy, a high ranking officer, I don’t remember his name, who was in Canadian News, earlier, in a Canadian military sex scandal, who said he was going to Ukraine, maybe to expiate his sins in the cauldron of war, real sins or imagined. I was searching for him. No news online. Doesn’t help that I can’t remember his name.
So much sex, reproduction, multiplication and division in the military. I could say it’s not normal but it seems perfectly normal.

Nobody is volunteering for a nuclear war? Why not? I’m going Postol on these stupid wars run by stupid and incompetent elected representatives of an intentionally made stupid and uninformed public and military, and covered up by unclear nuclear imbecilic journalism.
But then something tells me I should rather pity and love them, as per Christ. I should rather inform them, of Xanadu, a mythical and mystical place, where we can count the cost, and remain informed, and love our neighbours, and not just Zionists, or Ukraino-Nazis, as ourselves. Their subnormality is made normal by propaganda, dis and misinformation. Ethnic cleansing and eugenics are just plain wrong.
Postol makes things perfectly clear.

The science of nuclear winter needs to be reconsidered.
https://nuclearfamine.org/nuclear-weapons-explained/what-is-nuclear-darkness/
The crazies that think they can win a nuclear war are planning ways to further deceive the public and themselves about all of these unthinkable alternative realities, because they can’t really think, because mostly they choose not to, and they censor and self censor any alternatives to their winning and being personal narcissistic winners of all their games.
We used to say, Putin doesn’t bluff.
That’s because the SMO is all about peace. He is trying to reach a political settlement. Regardless of Martyanov’s disdain, I will quote von Clausewitz.
“War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means.”
― Carl von Clausewitz, On War
“War is merely the continuation of politics by other means”
― Carl von Clausewitz
“We maintain, on the contrary, that war is simply a continuation of political intercourse, with the addition of other means. We deliberately use the phrase “with the addition of other means” because we also want to make it clear that war in itself does not suspend political intercourse or change it into something entirely different. In essentials that intercourse continues, irrespective of the means it employs.”
― Carl von Clausewitz
“In the whole range of human activities, war most closely resembles a game of cards.”
― Carl von Clausewitz, On War
That also sounded to me like a chess player’s analysis. You’re the greatest chess player ever. Is Putin playing chess, or is he playing a different game?
No, I always wanted to defend the integrity of my game—when people said, Oh, Putin played chess, Obama played checkers. Putin, as with every dictator, hates chess because chess is a strategic game which is 100 percent transparent. I know what are available resources for me and what kind of resources could be mobilized by my opponent. Of course, I don’t know what my opponent thinks about strategy and tactics, but at least I know what kind of resources available to you cause damage to me.
Dictators hate transparency and Putin feels much more comfortable playing a game that I would rather call geopolitical poker. In poker, you know, you can win having a very weak hand, provided you have enough cash to raise the stakes—and also, if you have a strong nerve, to bluff. Putin kept bluffing. He could see his geopolitical opponents—the leaders of the free world—folding cards, one after another. For me, the crucial moment where Putin decided that he could do whatever was Obama’s decision not to enforce the infamous red line in Syria.
