Excuse me wtf. I mean drafting people to invade another country is already fucked up enough. Charging money to return bodies? What. The. Fuck. So is the russian army just gonna accept this? C’mon man, do a coup.
Pretty sure the military needs this too, just to keep it funded.
You say that like the military would see a single red ruble of that payment rather than it going straight into the commander’s rainy day fund. He had to go and get Conscriptovich killed in the first place, that’s hard work and deserves compensation.
I like you! I love the image of a russian official hiding away a dying currency in their mattress, “just in case”.
All the while the absolute downpour around them makes that moment the rainiest day on record.
A coup is extremely unlikely, and here’s why. The ruzzian army is mostly a collection of private armies funded and heavily influenced by oligarchs. These oligarchs manage to get along with eachother to cooperate on a battlefield under higher instruction, but there is still bickering, backbiting and bullshit behind the scenes.
A coup would require the majority of the army’s oligarchs to get along with eachother, trust eachother and coordinate with eachother. Imagine Italian mafias from the 1960’s and how difficult that would be to accomplish. That’s about how childish, skittish and unintelligent these guys are and why a coordinated coup is not likely.
The good news is, though, a temper tantrum by one oligarch could get pootin killed. That is not off the table on any given week. Cross your fingers.
They are charging half a year’s income, by the way. Not just “charging money”, but charging so much that no one can afford it without becoming homeless.
Helps keep them massage the causalty numbers if they don’t have to return all the bodies …
lol they’re cartoonishly evil
The only cartoonish thing here is obvious (and very stupid) Ukrainian propaganda.
Insider was unable to independently verify the claim.
Look, I side with Ukraine in this conflict, but this info is coming from a Ukrainian human rights group. I think I’d assume that this is propaganda that might contain a grain of truth.

Nice, thanks for giving them credit. I had no idea when from whom it came :)
I’m sitting here watching Jack Ryan season 3 and Russia is portrayed as this big bad world super power and it’s endleslessly laughable.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah… that season was a little interesting. They definitely wrote it before the war as it has not aged well.
Is jack ryan series good ? Should i watch it
Lotta pro US/CIA 'ganda.
1 and 2 are good but 3 and 4 are too over the top “super spy” mode
It’s ok with good production values but the latest season is terrible.
First season, definately.
If there is a terrible way of doing anything, Russia goes that route.
Russia is what a country run by only Republicans would look like. Desolation and grift everywhere. In short, in the wise words of orange man, “a shithole country”.
Russians are mostly conservative, so they will not rock the boat by complaining too much. They will just say it’s all for the best.
Conservatism harms everyone. Even conservatives.
Anyone else feel two massive countries (Russia and China) are lurching from serious crisis to crisis (war, economic slowdown) and just feels like the “I’m in Danger” meme?
The US isn’t much better. The 3 world superpowers are in serious trouble.
It’s nothing compared to what their indigenous populations endure under their rule.
compare the exchange rates of their currencies to see how thoroughly wrong you are.
But whatabout the USA? 🤪🤪
India’s on the rise. Unfortunately it is run by a fascist.
there is hope for India
So much for getting a new car…
This is adding insult to injury.
They’re a bit more than injured if I understood correctly.
you made me crack up with that lovely bit of gallows humour.
