“ “I have no idea why they took him,” said Alexei, who, like dozens of others in the office complex, was rounded up and taken to the nearest military enlistment office, part of a harsh new phase in the Russian drive.”
They have a quota.
Numbers count to them, not quality. That’s someone else’s job.
There was an article a while ago about Ukrainian military raiding night clubs in Kiev recruiting draft dodgers.
What do the Russian conscripts have?

Defending Russian soil. If you haven’t heard, the Donbass ( ethnic Russian territory) is now part of Mother Russia.When the Ukies stated shelling the Donbass back in 2015, the area was always forefront in Russian news . Three movies were made about it, of course the Western MSM never reported it.
Do keep in mind, Vlad calling 300,000 prior servicemen was met with an additional 70,000 Ivans answering the call ( of course western MSM media never reported that). Point, Russia is not collapsing, their resolve is still very strong. Many young Russians are able and willing to follow their President.
I am sure it rivals our meth crisis here in the US.
Worldwide problem. Vlad made it a point to check Ukie soldiers blood ( both dead and captured) , most all had narcotics ( and many communicable disease) much written on that ( non western news). No surprise, the corrupted little comedian Zelensky was a known coke user.
You know there are more than one side. One can be against Russia & Iran and against the war hawks in the US. Most people with brains know this.
Enough said.
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for October 15, 2022
- Elon Musk placed temporarily on notorious Ukrainian kill list;
- US aid to Ukraine continues to dwindle;
- NATO air defense project spans years and unlikely to help Ukraine in short-term;
- Ukraine's offensives are increasingly depleted quickening arrival at inflection point when irreversible Russian advances begin;
Then why now? Not 100 years ago when the lines were drawn after ww1? The whole situation stinks and, yes, the agreements in 2014, should have been honored. But Russia’s military invasion is BS. The people of Donbas etc were not protesting to leave Ukraine and join Russia. Just as the Ossetians of Georgia. Putin smelled Biden’s chomo weakness and invaded for ego. His troops’ morale is dog feces. Like I said, regardless of the Zalensky the Ukrainian military and people can at least rally around defending their territory. Russia can not.
Sure it does. Just like any criticism of Russia.
“”I remember the same thing in a slightly different manner happening circa 1960’s USA.””
The draft ran from 1940 through 1973, those drafted were turned into full soldiers with all the schools and gear, and jobs that enlistees did, once drafted they were indistinguishable from enlistees.
75,000 people died of Fentanyl poisoning this year so far. Meth? Not so much.
Its a Fentanyl crisis.
Yup. That is what the Soviet rape machine was doing. Killing the old men and raping every woman and girl, regardless of age. They raped children 10 years old and 80+ year old women. Gang rape caused many women to die from the abuse. Thousands of women in eastern Germany who were brutally raped committed suicide. No win situation for them. But, you know, I know that stuff is bad, but these people elected Hitler and allowed him to gain all that authority and his criminal horde continued to gain members and they turned out to be a murdering band themselves by killing over 60 million people, including 6 million Jews, of which 1.5 million were children!!
