Russia looks to me like they will be stuck in Ukraine for years.

Lol...try "stuck" forever.

Maybe there'll be some rump state full of Bandera Nazis bordering Poland, but that's it.

Its amusing how people complain about sources of stories, as if there is a choice. There are less than a dozen primary news outlets anymore. Going to the source - bad. Going to a blog post about a twitter post about the same story - good.

Analyzing, synthesizing, thinking it through and figuring it out on your own - not allowed. Reacting to headlines and confirming confirmation bias - required.

What this shows is what is really going on inside the Russian economy and society. If the Russian economy was weathering sanctions, then they would pay their soldiers fighting and dying for the Motherland.

The more news like this comes to light, the more it shows the Russian economy is slowly burning out. In another year or two, the Russian economy will no be able to sustain the war.

Curious if these convicts will just be handed letters when they cross the border saying congratulations you are now members for life of Russian army.
Seriously doubt they will be allowed to return to Russia one way or the other

Believe it or not the Russian army doesn’t work that way. They do have laws they follow.

To be a soldier and fight outside the country you have to sign a contract. Now if they do a full mobilization then just being a soldier in the Army can be sent without signing a contract.

Russia is a nation of laws just like most countries. But as we see in America prosecutors can subjectively apply that law based on politics. However, they can’t just make up laws (however, they are trying to do that in America).

Your kidding right? Nation of laws sure can’t say word war, media is govt controlled. Say something bad about military Putin… you are prosecuted
Oh by the way Russia annexed lol the territory they are fighting in so it is “Russia “
Additionally they are already not releasing folks from contracts even volunteers
So send it somewhere else like on a missile into a city center

Those are laws they passed. And the media is not the law... their media is much like ours.
