I mean, wikipedia lists contract fighters at about ~14k out of ~250k, so unless it's a known group (like Azov; I'd expect mentions up the ass if it was somebody significant) we can estimate the chance of a combatant being a conscript as 94% or higher.
Yeah, and a decent number of people don't buy it. Your companies has some of them. But also, it's now falling on a fertile ground after actually being attacked. Before the "special operation" that sentiment didn't ring as true. I'm expecting an increased speed of Nazification in Ukraine if there's no revolution.
There's a disgusting amount of jerking off to Team Z war porn as if it's some kind of fucking sports.
That number was new recruits, cited for 2017 alone, and not even entirety of 2017: "Artemenko also said that since the beginning of 2017, more than 14,000 people have signed a contract with the Armed Forces. More than a thousand of them are officers. 1.3 thousand - conscripts who decided to continue their service under contract." - this was 30 may 2017, so not even half year.
Also the western Ukraine, the seat of banderism apparently massively dogde drafting. Not surprised lol.
It undoubtedly is. It also remind me of WW2, and what exactly happened to that fertile ground after WW2. It only underline the necessity of denazification, left alone it already blossomed with weeds of mass urder in Donbass for basically no reason whatsoever.
I guess that depends. If Russia just withdraws and the maidan gang is not sweeped, it will undoubtedly happen. Nobody ever said the situation is not shitty and there aren't only bad things in the future. At least the worst is already avoided though.
By disgusting amount you mean any amount more than zero? As opposed to thoughts and prayers for the banderites?
The way I see it, proper denazification would take at least several years under Russian control, for which there's currently not enough personnel involved from Russian side. "The maidan gang" is just a representative of west-oriented bourgeoisie. The masters have to be "sweeped" too by seizing their property, otherwise it'd be just a cosmetic cover that would only hold up as long as there are Russian troops to support it.. So I consider "denazification" as a goal a public opinion distraction that isn't practically achievable with current forces (and that's rich coming from a country sliding into their own form of fascism for the past years).
Russian forces took over Crimea and supported Donbass, including, according to Ukrainian mass media, with troops. While I support the self-determination of LDPR and Crimea, a lot of people don't and for them it's hardly a "no reason whatsoever". WW2 was different in that the "blossoming" has been happening beforehand. Plus, I doubt there would be a force doing the denazification any time soon.
No? There are not necessarily only two extremes. Banderites are getting exactly what they asked for, but I also don't enjoy watching hundreds of man-hours of houses and infrastructure being destroyed, let alone conscripts and civilians dying for capital interests or fake news, and Ukrainian government's direct betrayal of their people doesn't make it fun.
Anyway, I'll stop replying from now on. Thanks for correcting me on the points about German conscription and contract numbers btw.
Aw a pity, seeing how you sneak some real crap under the guise of more sensible approach.
