Supply lines to the front seem to be running low.
People that couldn't believe Haitians would eat dogs can believe that Russians eat each other. That's the power of "education."
Education certainly helps to identify false equivalences.
During ABC's presidential debate, Trump referring to Haitian immigrants claimed (with no evidence): "In Springfield [Ohio], they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there."
This baseless allegation widely reported as false and debunked by local officials but nonetheless spread like wild fire on social media. JD Vance doubled down on the baseless claim on X
On the other hand the claim that desperate and starving Russian soldiers are resorting to cannibalism has some evidence (although remains an allegation u til proven).
Evidence includes:
Ukrainian intelligence agency, HUR, claims to have intercepted a phone call where Russian soldiers discuss this alleged act of cannibalism.
The Intercepted communications discuss a specific case of a soldier "Brelok," killing and eating his comrade "Foma" over the course of two weeks. Brelok was later found dead.
The alleged cannibalism is a possible survival attempt amidst harsh wartime conditions and resource scarcity.
Russia has been recruiting convicts, including individuals with histories of violent crimes and cannibalism, into its military ranks, which increases the likelihood of such incidents.
It is a false equivalence to imply that people who are skeptical of the claim that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets should have the same degree of skepticism for the claim that some Russian soldiers may be resorting to cannibalism. The levels of corroborating evidence are far from equal.
