- North Korean soldiers sent to aid Russia in Ukraine would be “cannon fodder,” the Pentagon said.
- The two nations signed a new security pact, and some Korean units look set to go to Ukraine.
- Russia is known for treating its soldiers as highly disposable and has suffered high death tolls.
Holy sh*t! So some other nations have to fight for Putins Russia as russian people won’t? Right? A czar without support by own people. Last time Russia had this was with czar Nikolaus II. He was killed by some of his own. With almost all his family. Bright future! For us, not for Putin.
The difference between the czar and Putin is that many people in Russia are (or were, before the war) living a decently good life. But back in the days if you were not an aristocrat, you were pretty much a slave living in utterly horrible conditions. Wikipedia can give you a quick overview of 19th century - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia
In short: non stop wars with everyone (over 1m civilian peasants died in just 1812 alone), serfdom (literally slavery in the case of the Russian Empire) was only abolished in 1861, Russians endured SIX cholera pandemics during the century before the revolution with millions dead, there was a massive famine at the turn of the century, and lack of industrialisation meant that the economy of Russian Empire was dying. The late Russian Empire was a meat grinder, people had nothing to lose. And they knew that they will die soon anyways, either from famine, physical abuse or an illness.
does Ukraine still have those defection drones?
To be fair, the vast majority of Russian troops were also cannon fodder.
Are we still listening to what the Pentagon is claiming?
Ukraine is winning and Putin is sharing a single Mosin Nagant between a hundred 80 year old men okay?
Ignore the Ukrainian top commander saying the war is unwinnable and has reached a stalemate. More meat for the meat grinder!
Ukraine has won simply by continuing to exist over 2 years after Putin’s 3 day invasion started. Your pathetic attempts to influence Internet audiences in favor of Russia won’t help either, miserable troll. Bigoted, oppressive, evil societies like Russia will never win.
I’m sure you feel very righteous by forcing Ukrainian men to go fight Russia. You think you’re somehow helping them. they are less enthusiastic about it than you think
Since the start of the war, hundreds of thousands of ordinary Ukrainians have volunteered to serve at the front, helping to maintain the country’s independence and repel the initial attack.
Many of those initial soldiers are dead, wounded or simply exhausted, leaving the military to recruit among a more reluctant pool of men.
To fill the ranks, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, last April signed a controversial law that lowered the mobilisation age from 27 to 25. Under the new guidelines, draft evaders can lose their driving licence, have their bank accounts frozen and property seized.
Even before the latest mobilisation drive, more than 20,000 men are believed to have fled the country to avoid service, some of them swimming and drowning in attempting to cross Ukraine’s border into Romania.
If you really want to help Ukraine you can sign up to their volunteer army and risk your own life. Unless you believe you’re worth more than a Ukrainian of course.
So… no different than the Russian troops?
Plenty of unwanted people in NKorea that currently take up food and other resources in the internment camps. This is just the long way round for getting rid of them without using zyklonB or some other horrible method. While at the same time getting something in return from Russia. Very bleek outlook. Poor damned people, poor Ukranians that will no doubt also incur casualties because of this.
