- Russia is replenishing its troops with an unlikely source — African migrants and students.
- Thousands of Africans have been forced to join in Russia’s war against Ukraine, per Bloomberg.
- The country has also been plugging its manpower gaps by sending prison inmates to the battlefield.
Wild that this got downvoted. I guess pressganging men into combat is only bad when da ruskies do it?
A separate thread about that would have been appreciated. It’s something terrible that should be called out, but posting it as a response to this is like replying: “Ok, and??? Some people of the country they’re invading are horrible anyway.”
Its not a ‘ok, and’ it’s pointing out the team you are cheering for is doing the same thing as the team you vilify
They’re invading an innocent country and raping, torturing and butchering innocent families? Nah, both sides aren’t the same.
Brought to us by the same people that claimed Russia was fighting with WWII shovels, end of war is near, sanctions will kill the Russian economy, etc.

Hence why they’re now pressing students and immigrants into emergency armed service. Because they’re getting their asses beat. This all checks out. A stable country with a well functioning modern military doesn’t extend a 3 day operation into 3 years, lose half a million troops, and then press-gang their students into the draft. These are signs of failure.
- names itself anticolonialist
- Defends Russian colonization of Ukraine
- Fails to cope
Point to where I defended Russia? I said the propaganda coming from the US is just that, propaganda
Then what are you doing here? Why act like Russia is doing better than it is other than to try and spread Kremlin propaganda?
