Russia's Elite Spared Death in Ukraine at Expense of Minorities: U.K.
Newsweek ^ | 3/12/23 | ELLIE COOK

Russia's metropolitan elites have avoided the impact of heavy battlefield casualties that the country's forces are sustaining in Ukraine, according to a new defense intelligence assessment.

Russia's elite, particularly in the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, have so far emerged "relatively unscathed" from the "extremely heavy casualties" being racked up in the ongoing Ukraine war, the British defense ministry said on Sunday.

In the eastern regions of Russia, the death toll for Russian troops is likely more than 30 times higher than in Moscow, as a percentage of population, the ministry wrote in its daily update on Twitter. "Ethnic minorities take the biggest hit" in some regions, the government department added.

You do realize that you are posting leftist agitprop based on racial grievances just like the communists in America using to Balkanize and divide America right? You are only outing yourself as a crypto leftist.

The US Army traditionally recruited better in rural areas than in big city suburbs I believe.

Western Wokeaganda like the Feminist memes used against the Iranian regime.

Traditional Values Conservatives have no use for this excrement produced ultimately by our tax dollars pumped into disinformation projects like this story.

Its easier for them to get out of service by paying the fine, than those in the Central and Far East areas.

It's not wrong though. Although Chechens are just white people, not "ethnic minorities." Their weak-ass ancestors were conquered by Muslim armies, so they get to die now for Allah.

that’s why Russia’s next mobilization - probably soon, considering how many Russian troops are being wiped out - will be so interesting

the European-Russian elites will then be the subject of call-up ... let’s see how much they support the war after that, knowing they’re going to get thrown into the guns ...

“You do realize that you are posting leftist agitprop based on racial grievances just like the communists in America using to Balkanize and divide America right? You are only outing yourself as a crypto leftist.”

Took a few months, but it sounds like the Western Media has finally come up with some response to the famous MONACO BRIGADE, which are a large bunch of rich Ukrainian male hipsters riding out the war with their Bentley’s, Beamers, and Porches (with Ukrainian license plates) - as opposed to the not-so-fortunate Ukrainian men who were not able to make it out Ukraine, dying in the muddy trenches of Bakhmut (thanks to the Neocons ordering them to stay put), as shown in this excellent video:

The FSB, all the security agencies and the police officers are not going to have their sons fight in Ukraine. Putin is not going to mobilize from the elite unless he wants to lose power. Which is a no-go. So once the Russian military gets depleted, they will be on the defensive for the rest of the war.

If any of you blabbing on here about one side being right over the other, you’re part of the problem.

None of the sides of this sh1tshow are right. Biden, Zelensky, and Putin all need to go and be tried and executed for war crimes and fervently attempting to start nuclear war.

OMFG. You forgot the “women and children hardest hit” part of the trope.

IIRC not one single son of a US Senator, Representative or senior bureaucrat was sent to Vietnam, unless they volunteered. Same same the captains of industry, etc. Russia is no different than any ot5her nation on Earth in that regard. Try the beam in your own eye first.
