It would be nice see the link to that story, but it's impossible to outlaw stupidity, that guy gets what he gets.
They have people who decide to go hiking on the Iran border, then shock, surprise they are wasting away
in an Iranian prison with a life sentence for spying. The government helped get them back, but seriously
people who need warning labels to they don't eat Tide balls, if you don't know not to do that, then what
hope is there for you?

Sometimes idiots end up paying the price. They are thinning the heard by their actions.

I agree with you entirely Bill, if you think of it Russia has lost over a million men in three years either killed or as good as killed. That will probably be approximately their entire Army that they had built up over the first initial 6 months. So they have effectively more or less lost their entire initial army of one million men over three years and had to replace that over the three years with approximately another million men, so thereby raising an army twice lol.

Derek here is then being put into an army where the original army has largely been lost. The same strategy of using up men is still being used by Russia. So on that basis the odds of his survival are pretty poor. In theory he apparently signed a one year contract. Whether he can get out after that or they will disregard the contract who knows. Even with the better equipment if he still has it his odds of survival are still poor.

I personally don't think that he will survive that long, it could well be days, weeks probably at the most. I think he'll probably be killed pretty quickly we shall see, but I don't think he will survive the war. He says in one of the videos on YouTube that he wants to be a hero, come home from victory etc so he thinks he will survive it. I think he could be in for a nasty shock.

I saw this on youtube



While it's great that the young chap in the article is on the right side as I see it I think he too is being rather foolish risking his life going to risky places like Kursk. If he gets hit he could either die or lose his limbs. If he lost his limbs no woman is likely to touch him. At such a young age he is gambling a lot and he would likely sorely regret it later in life if he lost his limbs at such a young age. Most people know that Russia lies it's not worth him putting his life or limbs on the kind to establish that. Probably he is out there in the hope of showing some western media outlet that he is willing to get the news from dangerous places in the hope of big money. Sure some people get lucky but there will be many others doing similar to what he is doing. My own approach is to stay out of war zones as you can't bank on good luck seeing you good, bad luck is all around our there pouncing on the unfortunate all the time.

I can understand guys wanting to take what is usually a less risky punt in travelling to a Ukrainian non front line city to meet women. That I can understand as there is a lot less competition out there at the moment and the Westerners hand will be a stronger one because of the war and the economy. No guarantees misfortune won't hit there of course but the odds tend to be far lower of misfortune hitting than on the front line.

oh yes I also saw before this black woman who moved to Russia to ... escape racism! Let this sink in

Yeah, if somebody didn't research that in advance, then I don't really feel sorry for them.
Hey maybe I should go to South Africa to farm? or to North Korea to fight for democracy
or to Iran to Gaza to promote gay rights or to Saudi Arabia to raise pigs?

Or to Ukraine for a week to pick out a wife? Should I bring a my Grandmothers wedding ring
with me?

A Texas family who moved to Russia citing traditional values and a desire to escape Western propaganda is facing a difficult situation. The father, promised a non-combat role, was sent to the front lines in Ukraine shortly after signing a contract with the Russian military. His wife reports that he is struggling with the language barrier and receiving inadequate training.

 :ROFL:

That's hilarious Olga! :D

Do you have a link to any article on it?

Yep pretty much in any military once you are in and signed up they can do with you whatever the hell they like. In the late nineties they begun to use a tri-service concept in the UK military. Essentially even if you signed up for the Navy or Air force thinking you would get a cushy number over the boots on the ground Army they could assign you to the Army say as Infantry or whatever else whenever they liked. Odds are it would only be if they were desperate or fulfill a current need but it was still possible.

Anyhow, it sounds like he got just what he deserved, he thought he would get a good position in a safe enough environment and didn't mind that he would be supporting the killing of Ukrainian civilians and military people. I am guessing the Russians did it as a laugh. Anyway he's on the arse end of it compared to his wife, her statement is probably an understatement from where he is. Sounds like it's only a matter of time until he is deployed to the front as cannon fodder and he will have it. She might as well start preparing his funeral now in advance of the inevitable.

Ah yes I see the link now Olga, thank you :)
