      And they all died because one psychopathic old fart simply just wanted to take over majority of or the entire country of another for personal gain.

      Hey, that's not fair! Most of them were not killed, but only mutilated too much to be ableish-bodied enough for the russian army!

      (Serious note: this is the casuality number, that includes deaths, but also soldiers with wounds that put them out of service, like lost legs)

        You have more in common with those soldiers than you do with the warpigs pulling the strings that led them to their deaths.

          You mean the 18-30 y/o men who are conscripted into compulsory military service for a year? Kinda sounds like a lot of them might not have much choice, barring gulag or suicide, in the matter.

            Plus about 300k "casualties", which is more apples to apples with the 900k Russians.

              For a lot of people, yeah actually. It’s all relative to each country’s general economy and propaganda, but there are a lot of people around the world either already in the military willing to die or kill for their country because of patriotism or feeling like there’s no other career paths for them, or that would take up the call if conscripted by their country.

              Then think about how hitmen, assassins, sicarios and those type of criminals are usually from poverty or lower class and just regular people that descended into a life of crime and kill for money. Yeah, I think it’s actually quite common for regular folk to be killing others for money unfortunately.

                  tbf, most Russian conscripts are not involved in the war - men sign theoretically voluntary contracts in exchange for extra pay or reduced service time to be deployed outside of Russia.

                  That being said, there's a great deal of coercion that's involved, so while you can resist pressure to sign a contract, it's not unreasonable to think that a significant minority felt they really didn't have a choice.

                      Only about 150k Americans seriously wounded in Vietnam.

                        That's a fact. Though it's hard to know what kind of statistic we're seeing in Russia's numbers here, by comparison

                          I just believe the righteous antipathy is better leveled at the Russian government, specifically Putin, than the anonymous cannon fodder.

                              I would imagine Agent Orange and severe PTSD-induced homelessness or suicide should also contribute to that number.

                                Did you miss the article where local officials were giving out meat grinders to the parents of the KIA?

                                It's . . . not . . . I don't . . i mean. Yeah. Putin's an absolute monster.

                                  Seeing as they are still on their murderous war of conquest, obviously not enough yet.

                                      I'm pretty sure everybody on these websites knows they're more similar to enlisted soldiers than to Vladimir Putin.

                                        I don’t think killing for money is ok. I think you’re a teenager with simplistic view of a complex topic. I think you live under some liberal government that does not practice conscription, and have no idea what it means to live under a more repressive regime that does. And I think you enjoy believing you’re right more than you enjoy learning things, which might be how you became so fucking stupid to begin with.
