#1 Uh huh....

I believe the 10-12K casualties as usually 20% of that number is KIA and the rest wounded, missing or deserted with the killed being around 2,000+ so I doubt this story of "morgues" filling up unless it is the only Morgue in Ukraine.

The 10,000 dead seems propaganda. But, the Russians have been taking fairly heavy casualties and losses that would send the US public into a hysterical fit over.

#2 At first I believed that it was 12K all casualties but US intel had estimated 3500-6000 Russian dead.

Ukrainians admitted 1,300 military dead and thousands more civilians killed by shelling.

From March 10:
Up to 6,000 Russians may have been killed in Ukraine so far, U.S. official estimates

#3 Also, most of the Russian casualties seem to be from destroyed armor. In that case dead:wounded can be 1:2 or less.

#4 If things were really grim, they would be eating the bodies which would not be accumulating.

I would expect most city morgues to have "weekend in Chicago" capacity. Unsurprising an actual war would overload them.

#5 There is at least one video from Belarus of a train load of bodies being sent to Russia.

#6 This is all rubbish. I have read reports of thousands of Afghans being killed everyday by Ashraf Ghani's great army until the day the islamic emirate was established. The best part about radio is you can't show pictures.

#8 Industrial estate in Mozyr, Belarus. Russian soldiers loading the killed and wounded onto a special train back to Russia. At least eight such military ambulance buses were spotted in Mozyr today, so I reckon the train must be full.

#10 I thought the Russians had brought portable crematoriums so they could hide how many dead there were.
