Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(
Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.
It’s mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin’s coup.
Russians aren’t more expendable than any other human being. They’re just being treated as such by their fascist regime. I know it’s easy to start thinking badly of all of them because of the idiotic war, but they’re human beings too. The ones outside of the kremlin at least.
Sorry, I didn’t mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn’t clear.
And I’m sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I’m sure they’d prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.
