    In a desperate bid to replenish its manpower, Moscow is sending injured (Sometimes amputated) soldiers back into battle.

    Ouch. Everyone but Putin felt that one.

    The latest figures posted by the Ministry of Defence do not include the Wagner Group nor their prisoner battalions that fought in Bakhmut.

    Hundreds of thousands of mercenaries and prisoners died in that meat grind. If they did include them, they’d have to put the casualty number much higher.

    Oh, and they are now kidnapping civilian immigrant workers, in an effort to bolster their numbers. They will not count either.

      That’s some Warhammer 40k stuff right there.

      In future Russia, there is only war. Under the watchful eye of the carion emperor Putin.

        I think one of the scariest things about Warhammer 40k, is we have the mindset, just not the technology.
