The Times of London on Sunday deleted a graph showing the incredible decline in the Ukraine’s population as a result of the country’s Western-backed war against Russia.
While the graph is no longer available on the paper’s website, screenshots of the article were saved, showing an astonishing loss of young people.
The editors of The Times realized that they showed too shocking data of the demographic catastrophe in Ukraine, and removed the corresponding graphics from their article on the site.

Apparently, Western authorities believe that if Westerners are aware of the devastation that this war is causing, they will be less likely to continue to support it.
This has happened before. In December, European Commission leader Ursula von der Leyen said in a speech that 100,000 Ukrainians have died in her war for values. The part where she said the number was edited out of the speech when it was uploaded to the official website, and it was stricken from the transcript.
This is not the first time information about the death toll has been redacted.

This was a low-ball estimate even three months ago, but it was a higher number than Western audiences had ever heard from an official source, and someone determined it was better they did not hear it.
We can assume that the decision to downplay the death toll is a result of AI social simulations showing that people become less comfortable with a war for abstract and unclear “values and principles” when they realize that real people are dying.
The Western media has framed the war as a fight in the defense of global homosexuality, and framed Zelensky as a character from the MCU who is very brave because he is willing to send the entire population of the Ukraine to die in defense of gay rights.
The media and the Democrats have also stressed the importance of border integrity, which is quite something. These are the same people who have claimed for years now that borders are not real and that they should never be enforced.
Because this is so convoluted, they have supported the narrative primarily with emotions, constantly referencing the MCU films and talking about how evil it is that Putin would invade a country. They consistently claim that Putin “started the war,” despite the fact that this is objectively false and the Ukraine had been killing Russians in the Donbass for 8 straight years before Putin finally intervened to defend them.
No one is buying that shit anymore, Nuland.
They’ve all seen the videos of what was happening in the Donbass in the war that the Ukraine started in 2014.

Whether the war is about gay rights or the sacred nature of national borders, whether it is like an MCU film, whether it is really mostly about cute dances – it all becomes very hard to stomach when you are forced to look at the real face of the thing, which is endless piles of corpses.
Support for the war is purely emotional. If you question war supporters, they can’t explain themselves. They will vaguely reference the Westphalian system. (Remember, these are the same people who promote EU/US open borders and humanitarian intervention in the Middle East.)

The US government has stated that there is no amount of Ukrainian lives they are not willing to sacrifice in order to defend whatever it is they are defending, but at the same time, they have continually said that the Ukraine is “winning.” For more than a year now, according to the US media, the Ukraine has been marching toward an easy win.
We also have to note that this is costing the West so, so much. When you realize that the same authorities that were willing to sacrifice as many as half a million Ukrainians for an agenda of conquest were also willing to collapse the economies of Europe in the name of this agenda, to risk a collapse of the US banking system, to ultimately blow up the entire global economic order, it becomes much more difficult to sit back and wave a Ukraine flag “because our values in a democracy is who we are.”
