It's been interesting to watch the reported number of Russian losses. In war the warring parties exaggerate the losses of the enemy wildly,so I have looked at Ukrainian claims with a good dose of scepticism. But it's becoming clear their #'s are not off by as much as I assumed 🧵 I initially started discounting Ukrainian claims by 60%-70%. If they said they destroyed 10 Russian tanks, I assumed they destroyed 3 or 4 of them. No hard data behind the discount, just a ballpark number from what I have seen in other conflicts.

20 years ago today, I was loaded on this train against my will and was made a #Refugee. I had done nothing wrong and broken no laws. I simply belonged to the wrong ethnic group. 1/xx Around midday on April 1st 1999 Serbian police from Slobodan Milosevic's regime backed up by what looked like irregular militia came to my apartment building in Pristina, #Kosovo and started shooting in the air. They demanded we come out and ordered us to walk behind a car. 2/xx
