- 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?
They don’t like to hear that their team is doing the same thing they claim only the other team does
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.
Stay in topic, this thread is about conscription
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.
- 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
Point to where I defended Russia?
There was this little shit when I was about ten who would put his finger really close to the younger kids and announce “I am not touch you, I am not touching you, I am not touching you…”
Then what are you doing here? Why act like Russia is doing better than it is other than to try and spread Kremlin propaganda?
Russia is doing better than reported by US propaganda.

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.
Which is totally nothing like this
