Trump Starts Using Vietnam War Propaganda To Justify Killing More Ukrainians

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin correctly assessed: “Western nations hegemonic aspirations and dismissal of Russia’s security concerns have led to the ongoing standoff between Moscow and the West”, says he also most factually observed: “Some former colonial empires – Great Britain, France – hold us responsible for the collapse of their colonial empires...And this historical memory, this historical negativity still remains, I can see it, oddly enough”.

Enraged over losing his colonial empire because of Russia, this report notes, French President Emmanuel Macron proclaimed: “To be free in this world you must be feared, to be feared you must be powerful...While we had planned to double the defense budget by 2030, we will double it by 2027...There will be €64 billion for defense in 2027, that's twice more than in 2017...It's a new, historic and proportionate effort”—a warmongering proclamation joined with the grim news: “Under Emmanuel Macron’s leadership, France is grappling with a poverty crisis not seen in three decades...Instead of fostering self-reliance and growth as promised during his presidential campaign, his policies have fueled dependency on temporary government handouts, leaving millions in dire straits as those crutches are withdrawn”.

As the leader of the socialist Western colonial powers plunging their citizens into poverty in order to take revenge of Russia, this report continues, yesterday it saw President Donald Trump declaring about Ukraine: “We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people...He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening...But there's a little bit of a problem there...I don't like it”—a declaration followed by the news: “Over the past 24 hours, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed two launchers of the American Patriot air defense system, and also destroyed one radar station of the complex”.

Earlier today, this report details, President Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg arrived in Kiev, which followed neocon warmonger Senator Lindsey Graham warning yesterday: “The game, regarding Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is about to change...I expect, in the coming days, you will see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves”.

Also earlier today, this report notes, Ukrainian Dictator Vladimir Zelensky warningly declared: “Our units will continue to destroy the occupiers and do everything possible to bring the war onto Russian territory...We are preparing our new long-range strikes”—a warning declaration joined with the news: “President Donald Trump plans to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons...The offensive weapons would reportedly include long-range missiles that could reach targets deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow”—but in knowing that Russia will swiftly retaliate against any Western nation supplying long-range weapons to strike Moscow, it caused German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius to swiftly proclaim today: “Germany will not supply Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems nor long-range Taurus missiles”.

Though Russia and Ukraine don’t release causality reports about their own forces, this report continues, Mediazona, in collaboration with the BBC News Service and a team of volunteers, maintains a named list of deceased Russian military personnel available in public records, and documents today: “At least 116,718 confirmed Russian military deaths from 24 Feb 2022 to 3 July 2025”—over a year and half ago, in January-2024, it saw top Ukrainian government official Yuriy Lutsenko revealing: “I think that they should name the number of dead Ukrainians...I know that they don’t want this, and it will be taken seriously...Yes, it will be a shock...We must honestly say that the 500,000 that are now being talked about if divided into months, is 30,000 a month”—and is a monthly death toll increasing, as the Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced that Russian military forces killed over 9,130 Ukrainian soldiers over the week ending on 28 June, Russian military forces killed over 9,100 Ukrainian soldiers over the week ending on 5 July, and Russian military forces killed over 8,560 Ukrainian soldiers over the week ending 12 July.

Last month, this report details, President Putin announced: “We gave more than 6,000 bodies of Ukrainian servicemen...In return we received 57”—an announcement joined with the news: “Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers agreed in September 2024 to increase the one-off payment to the families of the fallen to around $544,000...So the compensation figure for the 6,000 soldiers will run to $3.6 billion in an already overstretched Ukrainian state budget which is being subsidized by western nations...And this marks just the tip of the iceberg”—and when Ukraine first refused to take back its own war dead, Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev raged: “The Kiev bastards don't want to take the bodies of their dead soldiers...There are two reasons: it's scary to admit that there are 6,000 of them and they don't want to pay widows”.

In an exact replay of its failed Vietnam War propaganda strategy of using the body count to justify eventual victory, this report concludes, last week it saw President Trump’s top foreign policy official Secretary of State Marco Rubio lyingly declaring: “On the Russian side, they’ve lost 100,000 soldiers – dead, not injured – since the start of 2025”—a lying declaration quickly countered by world-renowned American strategic defense analyst Simplicius the Thinker, who, in his document “Rubio Claims Russia Suffered 100k KIA in Six Months, Ukrainian Casualties Remain 'Vague'”, most factually observed:

The topic of casualties is one we periodically revisit when necessary. Now is such a time, as Marco Rubio has made the absurd claim—coordinated with MSM outlets—that the Russian Army has suffered a whopping 100,000 deaths just since January of this year alone; purely deaths, not even total casualties.

This was immediately backed up by new articles, like the following from the Economist, which likewise claims Russia is experiencing its deadliest year on the front yet, with 30,000+ deaths just in the past couple months alone.

The above article is a particularly egregious example. Just take a look at their methodology, or lack thereof. This small extract constitutes the entirety of their ‘scientific’ premise for Russian losses:

“There is no official tally of losses on either side. But our daily war tracker offers some clues. Our satellite data and shifts to areas of control suggest when the fighting is intensifying. This lines up well with more than 200 credible estimates of casualties from Western governments and independent researchers. By combining this data we can, for the first time, provide a credible daily death toll—or an estimate of estimates.”

In short, they claim their satellite data alerts them to where fighting happens to ‘intensify’, and from that they—by some incredible leap of logic—infer that Russian forces are experiencing massive losses.

The baffling part is that this facile methodology should apply to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in parallel as well, yet when it comes to Ukraine’s losses, the Economist’s staff are without even a hint of curiosity:

Read that again: satellite data showing “intense fighting” inherently points to Russian losses merely on the assumption that any fighting, as a general rule, results in Russian but not Ukrainian losses. This is an astoundingly juvenile, biased, and to be frank, fraudulent, level of analysis.

These publications claim to have such ‘sensitive’ attunements to the battlefield fluctuations as to give exact Russian figures, but when it comes to Ukraine, they are suddenly lacking data.

The fact is, there’s a reason why MediaZona very abruptly changed up their methodology to include “projected” deaths rather than real counted ones, as done previously—because contrary to this coordinated propaganda campaign, Russian losses have actually been at the lowest in a long time.

This is precisely the reason such an orchestrated campaign was necessary: Ukraine is badly losing, and the only remaining aspect of the war the propagandists could feasibly utilize to try and spin the narrative are the casualty figures, because they are typically the most ‘subjective’ and ambiguous in nature—which makes them perfect fodder for devious manipulation.
