Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!

i mean, a needless loss of life is terrible, especially considering most of their soliders are conscripts with little choice in the matter.

However fuck Putin for making this happen.

Those conscripted recently had three last years and plenty of choices to avoid ending up in a situation with little choices.

It is terrible but it doesn't seem that they cared before or care now about the war being wrong. At best they care about their own survival.

I had no idea I'm sorry I thought that it was a much more militant draft than that

[–] doo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Yes, I heard it's getting more militant too. One of the reasons for that is that before they were drafting from the poor regions and there a little money gives a lot of motivation. Not the case in better off regions, so force is needed to "motivate".

Poor or rich, it doesn't matter. They go to war and are ok with that as long as they're winning. There's no remorse or suspicion that they might be on the wrong side. They just don't care.
