    If Russian troops start thinking the best way to stay alive is kill their officers, we’re gonna start seeing a lot of dead officers, especially with Russia’s reliance on criminals and mercenaries these days.

    I wouldn’t get my hopes up. These guys knew that they were being sent to their deaths and they still obeyed the order. The Russian mindset is hard to comprehend.

      I’ve got the Russian male mindset for you," Where is woman, she needs to be back in house on knees, giving me my blyatnaya vodka. Let me hit her to hurry her up."

      At least actual orcs are less of monsters…

      True. These guys know exactly what’s going on but there seems to be little to no resistance. Really strange.

      They’d rather go and likely die than live in Russian gulags…

      But they’d rather fuck off and be free than either.

      It hasn’t even been a year since Russian troops marched to Moscow bruh.

      They’re not as solid as you think. It took a leader to get them to march on Moscow, all it takes for them to fuck off is seeing others do it. And if officers stop them, well, there’s lots of people in the Russian army that won’t hesitate to kill someone for their own gain.
