Some news recently said that a few Nepalese volunteers left ("deserted") because of the conditions they had. When a Nepalese guy deserts you army due to "conditions", it is the moment to think what is going on.

But regardless, yes, the Ruzzian army tends not to be Ruzzian, but rather from any of the regions made poor by the regime. If they take Ukraine, they will use Ukrainians against others as well. This is a classic - you do not want to recruit in Moscow or St Petersburg or you may get revolts, you go recruit in Chechenia, Siberia,... and of course internationally in Nepal, China,...

But what is the catch? 2000 usd a month is like a dream come true for half the world right? Well, the catch is that you get paid only while you are alive, so there is a very good incentive to send then to the most dangerous meatwaves. If only 1 out of 20 make it alive the payroll is only 5%.

After all, thats why Rooineks recruited Ukrainians to fight for them

The reason why NATO is not involved fully in the Ukrainian war yet is to prevent escalation. Otherwise, you will be celebrating glorious victories of the Ruzzians 10 km from Moscow. Putin knows this perfectly well.

I guess Branko that being Ukrainian and having their own country makes better sense to Ukrainians than getting sent by the Ruzzians against Letonians, Lithuanians or Finnish.

NATO is not involved? Seems you lived under a rock for last 10+ years, or maybe you have some strange definition of "involnment"

And NATO is not 10km from Moscow because your whole island would be sent to meet Aquaman

Read what is written, do not put words in my mouth. I do not have an island. As far as you are concern, I am a copy of a brain uploaded into an AI living in a world cluster of cloud servers. Just read "The Neuromancer" to understand. The nuclear deterrence cuts both ways.

Today it seems that all the worthless Western weapons that according to daRude "do not make a difference", "do not work", etc. have "not worked" as far as Mariupol. This is despite daRude assuring everyone here that ATACAMS and all the rest would be stopped by the S300 / 400.

I think that Ruzzia should now try an strategy that Facebook and Twitter followed - renaming e.g. S400 to S500 or even to "S-600 Putin-plus airdefence" so that they start being effective against NATO supplies.
