It’s honestly a brilliant move on the part of Russia.

I think I heard it said in 2022 (perhaps on this forum) that you can predict Russian foreign policy fairly well by asking what the biggest troll move would be.

This is very funny.

I also want to read an article in a few years about how many Ukrainians did it.

Then I want to know how many of them got conscripted by the Russian military and sent back.

I doubt Russia would want to conscript Ukrainians for obvious reasons, and it’s not like Russia is lacking manpower. Currently, they have no problems attracting people to sing up on contract because military service pays far more than people can earn in most regions.

So true, Russia is definitely keeping people impoverished, no sanctions or external factors here

Learning a bit of history will help you not make a clown of yourself in public in the future. Go read up on what the state of things was like in Russia in the 90s after the west “helped” introduce all the liberal reforms and privatization. And then go look at how the standard of living has been improving steadily since Putin took over.

I really doubt Russia would do that tbh they’ve been much more humane to Ukrainians than the reverse.

Hopefully, which is why I’m curious what we’ll learn about several years from now.

And Ukrainians have been torturing Russian POWs. This war is real fuckin awful and it would be best if there were some negotiations to end it.

Maybe Zelensky can finally invite Russia to one of these one-sided “peace conferences”

I hope they’re not conscripted. That would be a horrible and cruel move by the Russian government to accept refugees of war and turn around and send them right back to war.

I’ll eat my hat if they’re conscripted. The Russian government is not full of morons. The people who take them up on the offer are more valuable as enthusiastic volunteer spokespeople than draftees.

It would also be really stupid strategically. Russia has enough guys and doesn’t need to draft refugees from.the place they’re fighting.
