And for what? They're not defending their homeland against an invader, they're just being sent to the slaughter, or to come back physically/emotionally scarred.

'Human wave' cannon fodder for Putin ...president since 1999, is why Russia desperately needs enforceable term limits
MisanthropicZombie t1_je9c0vp wrote
Putin reset the term limits a few years back and extended the terms a while before that, allowing him to control the country until 2036.
He is still in power because nobody else has the power to say otherwise.

It’s why the quotation marks are more relevant than the word democracy when talking about the RF
Lurnmoshkaz t1_je9tvha wrote
There's no democratic process in Russia regardless of the superficial laws you impose. Term limits are pointless when the country is held hostage by the FSB and their cronies.

If the Russian politicians actually wanted term limits and were able to enforce it, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.

You mean he’s kidnapping 400,000 people at gunpoint and sending them to the front lines to an almost sure death.

No worries! They believe in God over there, unlike pro-Western heathens, so when they die they'll go to heaven. And maybe there will be virgins and such in their afterlife too. Because harps are boring!

Is 'Recruiting' the correct term here? Are there any people left in Russia that are willing to enlist?
fuck putin.

Can’t even equip them, pictures circulating now of Russian soldiers in civilian footwear and rusty weapons.

'Recruiting' with extreme prejudice

Wonder how you sell this to potential recruits?
It's most likely that you are going to die because there is no time to train you and we do not have the right equipment or food to feed you, but we certainly will buy your family some sausages and some bread when you die, does that sound good to you?

in relation to that conversation about a guy who keeps adopting cats that get eaten by coyotes, and they are just feeding cats to the coyotes, this seems like Russia is just letting Ukraine manage russian population control

It's probably a security concern for Russia if they can't muster the ol classic ak-47 human wave formation, which means their military is made out of duct tape if they made the deal with aliens and string. You don't send zerglings one at a time, you mass them and send them all at once
