[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Russian (but haven’t lived there in over a decade) and the OP offers a pretty accurate understanding. The poster who says that people don’t have much choice is also spot on. As for the “willingness to die”, it’s mostly the payments that seem huge to those people sent to die. Even if you are conscripted and sent to the warfield (not a regular conscript inside the country) you get sizeable payments. It’s a lot of money for people from the boonies. Y’all can love or hate the Russians but things are pretty much going to stay the way they are. My understanding is that the goal of the “West” right now is to weaken the country as much as possible. It’s sad but unfortunately Russia has made its own bed to a large extent. Invasion of Ukraine was a huge mistake and will be felt for generations. A reminder to us all how destruction is always easy but the restoration may even be impossible. [/quote] The West would prefer to ignore Russia.[/quote]
