The sons of Putin’s elite are kept safe while ordinary Russians become cannon-fodder
The Telegraph ^

Posted on 05/15/2024 12:33:49 PM PDT by USA-FRANCE

A class disparity has emerged within the Russian military, contrasting the fates of ordinary soldiers and the privileged elite. This divide has ignited widespread anger and criticism, even among top-level troops who feel betrayed by their leadership during the ongoing battle over Ukraine.

Vietnam was the norm for the North East American elite.

Elite draft dodging goes back to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, right thru to Vietnam.

Hmmm... You mean like the sons of pols in the USA? Some wanted to serve, but those who didn’t want to didn’t have to.

What of the article's writer? Might he be a troll of sorts as well? One finds:

Even without the USA, Nato would still win in a fight

So says the Glasgow resident for his blog, a one-man operation ( or three if one counts him and two "volunteers." By getting his blog post opinion, as the Telegraph properly terms it in their web page, this individual running essentially a one-man show since 2014 sounds like a professional and widely read influencer.

Russia has had several governments in the last 120 years. So has France. So has Germany. This proves....

Why should anyone be surprised of this.This has been going on since the beginning of mankind. The elite think that they deserve to be the only ones to survive wars. Likewise why should my children serve in the military? So that they can protect the millions of illegal migrants that have invaded us? No f’n illegal is worth the lives of a loved one.

You are easily trigged today kiryandil...
Is it because Russian troops are being decimated as we speak, by the thousands, every single day? And in return for what... 4 or 5 tiny villages?

No wonder there is chaos right now in the Kremlin, and that Shoigu had to be sacked, including many other top sharks in the Kremlin “power-structure”. Russia is enduring so many casualties it’s becoming an existential threat for them, even for the Mocow Elite - as their “popularity” dwindles down the drain.

The elite you are supporting in Moscow will lose thanks to the Russian people. Real Russians will take over sooner or later. At that point you will have to ask for asylum in another country... America maybe? Or France?

This is true of nearly any war. If you are from the upper crust, you will at least be an officer.

In WWII, many rich Americans worked in the Pentagon, or the intelligence services, or in logistics.

"Elite draft dodging goes back to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, right thru to Vietnam."

In 1863, when they enacted the draft, the Irish rioted in New York City. The riot started out against the unfairness of the draft, because rich people could pay someone to take their place on the battlefields. It then turned into a racial attack because the Irish knew that blacks were not subject to the draft, and they would take their jobs while they were drafted to go to war. Also during the Civil War, you could, if you had enough support, organize a local State regiment, and be elected Commander of that regiment by the officers who served under you. In Britain, one could at one time buy officer commissions in the military. You could also buy a seat in Parliament.

Like I noted
Projection

https://twitter.com/vicktop55/status/1774838197949780033

A strong video clip about the children of the Ukrainian elite and ordinary Ukrainians who are sent to the trenches with rats.

The children of Petro Poroshenko, Alexander Turchinov, Vladimir Groisman live in Britain

The offspring of the mayor of Kiev, Klitschko, hang out in Germany without denying themselves anything.

The children of former Prime Minister Yatsenyuk and the son of former NSDC secretary, now Ambassador of Ukraine to Moldova Alexey Danilov, settled in the United States.
Video at the link

The children of the Ukrainian elite are carrying out a counter-offensive in Monaco.

Father is working “hard” in Ukraine so that his son can have a bear and a new mansion in France.
Video at link
https://twitter.com/Sprinterfactory/status/1691047627603812352

While #Ukraine’s male population is being decimated by the thousands, rich children of Kiev’s elite continue to enjoy themselves.
I approve.
Happiness Mykols and Oksanas!!! Get away from this terrible country.

There is cannon fodder on the Russian side. It's all Ukrainian side.

This just another incredible example of projection on the part of the media and the Zeeper fools that believe the media.

The elite you are supporting in Moscow will lose thanks to the Russian people.

So, the proxy war in Ukraine has been miserably failure and this is what you're left hoping for?

Give it up. Putin was reelected, legitimately and overwhelmingly. His percentage of the vote matched his poll numbers.

Putin far more popular in Russia than Macron is in France or Biden is here.

But according to the liar Sleepy Joe, his other son Beau died heroically in Iraq (not of cancer, which is the actual truth).
