Russia Is Using Inmates as Cannon Fodder

Thursday, February 02, 2023

We all knew this was happening but not as a deliberate tactic which is detailed in the linked article. There is also now reason to believe that russia's inmate soldiers are drugged just being entering a battle.

Don't they teach you, Russkies, anything anymore?

Bourgeoisie simply means "middle class" in French. "USA middle class propaganda"?

...
bourgeoisie, the social order that is dominated by the so-called middle class. In social and political theory, the notion of the bourgeoisie was largely a construct of Karl Marx (1818 " 83) and of those who were influenced by him.

Back to school, comrade!

That sounds like what would be called an "Early Retirement Plan" in Russia.

But you thrive on Russian propaganda. At least America has a middle class, basically the whole reason for the Russian invasion of Ukraine was that Ukraine was building a middle class too. That threatened Putin's strangle hold on Russians who freely traveled to Ukraine all the time and then went back home to a backwards, stupid coumtry and were beginnimg to question the basis for their oligsrchy which Putin saw as a direct threat to himself and his massive unearned wealth which everyone knows he stole from the people of Russia. Personally. I hope for the Russian people to see the death toll of young, healthy men in this unprovoked war and then drag Putin out and string him up. Russia will exprience great economic growth, as did Germany, when Hitler killed himself. Perhaps Putin could do the same for Russia.

Reading what I have read of the Russian Gulags over the years... I think I would rather be dead.

On topic, I truly suspect they are right about the drugs but at the same time if you fail to follow orders, retreat or fail to attack? They just shoot you in front of the others anyway. They are also ordered to ignore the wounded until the attack is over or nightfall. Captured Wagnerites are spilling the beans on all this.

I have seen a couple drone videos of these attacks. I do have to wonder why there is not more artillery falling on them. They are all grouped up and use little to no tactics. They are truly fodder.

So why is Russia doing this comrades? Consider military tactics like when Xerxes invaded Greece. He sent in ordinary expendable troops first, at the end he sent in his best troops. It's what Russia is doing. Putin is just biding his time. Because of NATO support of Ukraine -- with Zelenskyy and Israel support too -- he will now proceed to conquer all of the Ukraine.
