After watching Ukraine put out more videos of foreign nationals fighting for Russia, I totally believe this.

The word “systematically” adds no value here.

> In December alone, more than 150 foreign nationals from 25 countries were identified as having been recruited into the Russian army
I was expecting the numbers to be a lot higher, this is actually peanuts in this conflict. I think even Ukraine manages to get a lot more from Colombia.

The EU countries need to enter the war and stop it through overwhelming force. The EU has a population of 450 million vs Russia’s 150 million. Both sides have nuclear forces, and mutually assured destruction prevents either side from using them.

Desperate times seem to call for desperate measures.

Russia is “Systematically recruiting foreign fighters” while at the same time Ukraine is disbanding their International Legion due to lack of volunteers. 450 million citizens in the EU and there’s less than 2400 volunteers. 2400 volunteers world wide, shame. Coalition of the willing? Willing to do what exactly?
What makes me proud to be an American is that regardless of our tumultuous relationships with our neighbors, regardless of our differences and struggles, if you look sideways at Canada or Mexico, you’ll have an army of white, brown, yellow, red, black, and purple mother and father F@@kers on the move to send you home with a boot in your a$$. It’s the American way. Only 330 million of us, but at least 33% willing to punch someone in the face. I love you b@$t#rds
Edit- Bring on the downvotes, maybe you’ll figure out how to load them into a magazine and defend your backyard.

Russia scamming foreigners into dying for them.

In this day and age, that’s considered an “honest job.” Networking on the front lines, might even be a “fringe benefit.” But, who knows!

I understand that mercenaries don’t care about morality, but you’d have to be an idiot to trust Russia. A foreigner who fights for them will be thrown into the meat grinder, and even if they make it to the end of their contract, what guarantees do they have that the Russians won’t simply kill them to avoid paying them? It’s not as if anyone would find out. Trusting Russia not to screw you over is like putting your head in a lion’s mouth and trusting it not to bite.
