    That’s great. My problem is TRICKING people into cannon-fodder roles, not people almost exactly-like myself doing incredibly-stupid shit for money and lulz.

      Oh as opposed to kidnapping people off the street and forcing them at gunpoint to join their losing battle like the Nazi Ukraine government?

      The only reason it is a war of attrition is due to the immense the Russian Federation has exercised. They could have easily just used the same genocidal doctrine of the US in Iraq for example but their goal, contrary to the liberal narrative, is not to annihilate the Ukrainian people but to liberate the people that were already fighting a civil war and subject to nazi pogroms for 12 years now.

        Imagine pretending even a country being invaded should never institute a draft, you know, ten years after encouraging women, the young and infirm to leave your country for their safety in the face of the invading force.

        Imagine invading your neighbors and getting so many of your own killed that you must trick and kidnap foreigners, plus your own disabled, young and elderly, to keep your attrition-machine going.
