Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Please, we require bodies for our idiotic meatwave assault attempts.

But we're totally winning, and everything is fine.

Human waves have worked in every war that Russia has won.

Even with the low stockpiles and over a million casualties they are still making slow progress.

Did they also need to plead and beg for tens of thousands of foreigners to be voluntold to join the meat grinder?

Or is it the case that Putin has no fucking idea how to win this, or extricate himself without falling out a window?

Another victory like this and I’ll be undone.

Right on, we'll mark you down as an enthusiastic supporter of just throwing bodies into the meat grinder.

Maybe don't hang out with Russian military recruiters, as they'd have to kill you for scaring off the prospects.

Inb4 Trump starts human trafficking immigrants and Americans to fight for Russia.

Makes me wonder what Ukraine could do to force mobilization without increasing (maybe even decreasing) Russian public support for the war

That seems like the quickest way to end the war favorably for Ukraine

Which is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again... If they didn't already hear this from deserted mercenaries

Hopefully this comes to bite them in the ass and all they get are saboteurs hell bent on impeding the Russian war machine.
