    So when they give you weapons or a vehicle, you do what? That’s right; escape.

    Without clicking the article it is tough to determine which of the following happenedso I’ll say both:

    “Yeah, we signed up to join a foreign military, and now their totally like…forcing us to fight and stuff.”

    Or

    “We moved to this country famous for making everyone do some military service, and now they’re *making us do military service*!”

    Oh, I read it – third option: “We broke the law in Russia, now their making us fight” which is a bit more sympathetic, but like… dont do that.

    If between starving and killing other people you choose killing – it is not forced. Because in my scheme of things you do not kill to survive.

    And in their case I am not sure about starving. Really do not think so

  4. They could totally work in Russia telephone lines and scam every single Ukrainian.

    “Hi, this is Dave from Microsoft. We have detected a virus on your defence systems indicating that your radar is also infected. In order to clean your radar i need to log in and fix the problem”. In Indian accent.

  5. I hope this acts as a catalyst to wake up Indian society to how evil Putin is. All this 1971 talk is living in the past. 

  6. When is India going to wake up that being cosy with Russia may not be the way forward?

    For any Indians reading this. Russians don’t respect you. Think you’re lower than them. The only thing you’re good for is buying their weapons and supplying men for the meat shield (as pictured, literally meat for the meat grinder).

  7. So they sign a contract for military and when wants to go home. If they are so stupid, they should just be a cannon fodder.

  8. You came and supported a country like Russia to grape and kill peaceful Ukranians. So yes Raj you just redeemed your gift card,l. Keep these people out of the gene pool please.

  9. I have little sympathy for these men. Of course they now argue that they were coerced into signing a military contract. I’m not convinced. 

    Firstly you’d have to travel to Russia in the first place. These people were probably expecting to support the Russian military, maybe as truck drivers, ammunition delivery etc. Then they were put on the front line, and now they complain.

    Essentially, they signed for mercenary work to get money, glory and loot Ukrainian cities. They found out that mercenary work is dangerous, and suddenly they were coerced.

    These pricks thought they were going to Russia to get paid for back-end stuff like engineering and drone technical support. I couldn’t care less about them being forced to fight.

    That’s the very definition of FAFO. If there’s anyone who still doesn’t understand what an evil Empire ruSZia is then it’s on them, quite clearly.

  13. “forced” by an offer of 2000 dollars …sorry, but just like all those too-good-to-be-true job offers in Dubai, there are some offers that even the most desperate have to refuse
