A situation that it is getting dangerously close to once again. Just hope there's not another Lenin hiding in the wings to tear down the Federation, nobody wants to deal with the fallout of a nuclear super power collapsing like that.

    yah I know of Nepalese friend's collegue who joined Wagner back in late 2022(yes they were recruiting that early). They were immediately sent after two weeks of training to be cannon fodder at Bakhmut , out of 75 Nepalese men in his training class, only 5 are alive as of the last time I talked to him in early 2024. He survied and got promoted to artillery since he already had military training before he joined. if you dont have any you are kaput. many of them died within a week of being sent to the front at meat.

      I'll never give a damn about those who intentionally signed up to help the invading orcs. The real problem, IMO, is that many, many of those fighters are being lied to. They're not informed enough to understand that you *never* trust a contract with the Russian government, so they're being brought over as factory workers, security guards, etc and then forced onto the front line.
      Those who were lied to I can at least have some sympathy for. They're being promised what is for them often years worth of annual salaries to do the same kind of work they were doing at home, and then they're forced to fight. That sucks for everyone involved IMO.

      putin has been doing this for 25 years. The treatment of Russian soldiers and their families in the 2nd Chechen War is well documented in Anna Politkovskaya's books like "Putin's Russia". Not only that, but the assassinations of Russian citizens throughout that period from then to now has been putins way to remove threats to his corruption and lying agenda for Russia. He silences his nation with fear this way. But the memory of those wronged still burns bright, and putins day of Judgement draws closer.

      @@KOKONAGAMI Really? Your funny comment is not remotely representative of the truth, and the hidden cost to free thinking minds in Russia. 26 years of assassinations and iron control, with fear propaganda over what threatens beyond the borders has stifled Russian minds and created enemies of the state for those who dreamed of something better and stood up in defiance.
      Yes, a Revolution is coming, but not the old genocidal iron control type. It is one where Russians can finally breath the free air of equality, and respond to their neighbours as 'friends' rather than 'borders to be controlled', and for them to be still beautifully Russian.

So they paid guards, unfortunately the thieves just paid the guards more and made off with the equipment. Lesson learned, they paid to go there, and then paid to go home, without their equipment.

      Less than Russian MoD is offering, and much less than most of them could earn at home. If they don't get an UAF contract (until they're vetted and prove themselves - they don't) , they can get at max $30-40/month from expenses and nearly always buy their own equipment. Most of interviewed volunteers invested their own money and did not get paid at all. The ones who do, don't get anything close to $2000/month and nearly all are from wealthiest countries in the world anyway, contrary to these ones. They are not private contractors under international law, so even legally they're not mercenaries. None of them do it for money, doesn't make any sense. So morally they're not mercenaries either. Kremlin calls them that because they always accuse enemy of what they're doing. And for fools like you it seems to be working.
