And now Russia technically kills civilians from other countries also. At this point you shouldn’t probably visit Russia even for tourism, so that you won’t end up forcefully on the battlefield.

I don’t think Russia has ever not killed civilians in other countries, for like its entire existence.

It’s the grand military strategy used since soviet era.

  • bomb everything to useless fine ruble
  • move in with a massive meat wave
  • if a building is still standing go take a massive shit in it
  • if you run in to something living, it’s a spy, so torture and execution.

These dumbshits deserve to get plastered by a drone for believing going to Russia during a war would be anything other than a grift.

There were some US dupes who fell for the same shtick at one point as well.

They wanted a jump start on living under an authoritarian regime

Wow, Trump was too “woke” for those dipshits.

They’re in the good place now.

I think this isn’t really news. Workers of many countries were lured into contracts where they thought they would get work and ended in the meat grinder.

Vat is problem. Is job.

They wanted to work IN Russia. They were sent to Ukraine. That is problem

Without further context, that would have been an upgrade. With the context, it’s a meat grinder.

Putin considers Ukraine to be part of Russia and thinks that anyone with a differing opinion is wrong. I hadn't really thought about that previously, but it does somewhat patch the hole you found in my logic.

I get that they’re taking advantage of people coming from developing countries… but seriously, at what point will everyone start to be like “hmmmm maybe I should rule out that Russian job offer because they’re just gonna shanghai me into military service”?

That point is education that Russis is still worse than whatever you’re trying to escape.
