“the prisoners of war come from all corners of the world: Kenya, Nepal, Tajikistan. They say they were deceived by Russia into joining a war they did not want to fight”
Don’t tell .ml they think it’s going swimmingly over there.
lemmy.ml where the ml actually means ‘Moscow Lovers’ instead of ‘Mali’.
Russia running into all the same problems of a prolonged ground war that plague any imperial power.
Strangely, I see so many of these posts indicating this as some kind of weakness Ukraine should be expected to exploit. However, you can see all the same problems of conscription on the opposite side of the front lines. Ukraine has increasingly turned to South America for expendables, with 40% of new recruits coming from across the Atlantic this year. Incidentally, a lot of these recruits are coming from the drug cartels.
…huh. It almost seems like war is bad.
How do you trick someone into fighting in a foreign war? Bribery and blackmail but deception?
Fake or deceptive jobs, for example. Once you are moneyless on a foreign country is harder to reject it.
