It's pretty much a "die for me on the battlefield or die in some rotten dirty jail". Great choice. Has to be fun to be a Russian citizen.

That’s often how totalitarian regimes work. I’ve previously made a quip the modern China is essentially the Mao dynasty of the Chinese Empire in all but name. Well at present Russia is the Tsardom by a different name.

Or take it to the streets and protest. But apparently their sons, husbands and fathers dying for nothing isn't reason enough. What a country of sheep.

Maybe too drunk to really organize some protests which don't consist of only a few hundred people easily detained. 

if I learned something from LotR is that you should never piss off the Ents.

The U.S. Congress has approved the decision to block operations of U.S. Treasury Department to exchange SDR for Belarus and Russia for 5 years. The next step is Biden's signature. Once the law enters into force, Russia and Belarus will lose access to external financing from IMF. pic.twitter.com/cvrzM9V85x

Glory to Russians resisting Putin's demands that they throw their lives away for a corrupt cause.

Things may be about to get messy, and potentially out-of-hand, within Russia itself.

Thing with this as well is, people have posted the conditions the Russian military gives their troops. Winters in southern Ukraine, where they are going, aren't particularly pleasant. Chances are a good number of these conscripts are going to die from exposure.
