Russia using convicts to fight Ukraine

Putin has run out of regular soldiers so he’s working his way though Russias prisons in an effort to replenish his forces with fresh troops. They are promised 200,000 Rubles a month ($5,000 US) and freedom if they last 6months on the front line with only 5 days training.

Soon he will run out of prisoners … maybe then he will resort to child soldiers like they do in west Africa.

Putin should be embarrassed over how he launched a totally unjustified war that he can't even win

@deadgerbil Unfortunately he will never be embarrassed because in his view he is “denazifying” Ukraine and he is making sure that EVERYONE in Russia and beyond believes that NATO is the enemy and that Russians need to be protected from the evil that is NATO and the US. If you say anything against Putin you will be arrested for treason and sent to the gulag. This threat has meant that Putins approval rating is around 83% in Russia.

@deadgerbil The last time Russia had a failure like this was Imperial Russia and it’s war against Japanese held territory. Russia lost and the Tsar lost respect and ultimately his crown.
