There’s plenty of video evidence to support the claim including one which emerged yesterday showing Russian soldiers rallying against their “lying commanders.”

Yeah I'm constantly confused by the idea that they could conscript 500k people who don't wanna be there, give them training and weapons, and they DON'T just take their officers out on day 1.

But I don't pretend to know any of the gritty facts of the situation either.

The threat of death and/or gulag for their family will do a lot

It happened it ‘nam.

Let’s hope some Russians have a backbone and it’s just not getting reported.

There's been a few reports regarding how much Russia is struggling to actually get people to show up when their name is pulled.

That’s not growing a backbone.

I want to see them fraggin officers or shooting up a military base.

I mean I'd love to see it too, but it's easy to understand why they don't. They'd be signing their family's death warrant.

If you’re prepared to kill others families to save your own instead of the people threatening your family, well I hope the war comes to their families soon.

Im going to be honest, unless you've been in the situation, I don't give a single fuck about what you think you should do. It's a helluva lot easier to say you'd do it than it is to actually do it. It's fucked. Everything about it is fucked.

It's cool, I don't give a shit about anyone who'd defend it berceuses I know they're the same cowards who'd sit back and let it happen at home.
