What #Ruzzians allow, will continue.
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.
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.
To put things into perspective, that’s ~4 months of median salary, or ~8 months of minimum wage.
So much for getting a new car…
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.
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
Do they still get a Lada?
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”.
