    It also looks like tricking foreigners to fight for you, since you are running out of locals to send to the front lines. Or brainwashing children to think war is fun, in the hopes they’ll volunteer as soon as they’re old enough.

      You are describing “hiring mercenaries” and “glorifying the military”, two things that I personally find problematic but that are not at all indicative of losing a war.

      running out of locals to send to the front lines

      They have not even activated a draft yet

        LMFAO! What are you talking about? Russia has been conscripting soldiers for almost the entire war. smh.

        And you can hardly call deceiving potential immigrants into coming to Russia, only to make fighting in the war a condition of their citizenship, once they get there…“hiring mercenaries”.

        How’s that kool-aid taste, man?
