The Eritrean–Ethiopian war (1998–2000) was even more recent.

The widespread use of trench warfare by both sides resulted in comparisons of the conflict to the trench warfare of World War.

Like most colonized regions proficiency in Russian was enforced in Chechnya (lol at "native Russian speaker")

There are something like 160 mother tongues amongst the areas conquered by the Imperial Russians and then Soviets, and there is sometimes an effort to 'reclaim' that language (like you see in, say, Ukraine). But I doubt there is much miscommunication between Ukrainians and anyone in the RuAF

The "native russian speaker" part is an odd jab, what do you mean with that?

It is a little weird to me that they sort of take him to task on the "why fight, why go to war" thing. he's a mercenary, you already know his answer, he has to regard those answers as not his job.

Yeah it seems pretty easy to get a merc's motivations. "Why go to war?", uh, for the money. That's literally what we do. We fight for money.

by the time they realize I'm gone, in like 2 more days, I'll be headed for the Belarus border again, the almost deserted checkpoint on Matzo Street. Once I'm out I swear they'll never catch me again.

https://mil.in.ua/en/news/the-russian-territorial-defense-forces-at-the-border-with-ukraine-are-starting-to-be-armed/

quote:

In the Kursk and Belgorod regions, the fighters of the local Territorial Defense Forces are starting to be armed.

Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, announced that the Kremlin is confident in the reliable control of the issue of weapons to the soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces.

The president’s spokesman also added that the arming of such units is a “necessary measure” amid the “attacks from Ukraine.”

On July 25, the Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law that allows governors to create their analogues of military companies, and then transfer weapons to them.

In the Kursk region, the issue of providing the Territorial Defense Forces with combat weapons was being discussed for several months.
It took you idiots this long to realize this was a problem?

How the gently caress was this idiot going to claim asylum in Hungary when he is a US citizen? He did not experience any persecution in the US. I don't get it. They would just tell him to go home?

Also, AFAIK extradition treaties only apply for things that are crimes in both countries. Since the US is not under martial law and in an existential struggle for naked survival, I doubt distributing Russian war propaganda is illegal there. I doubt anyone would actually extradite him. He just needs to get across the border into the EU and the gently caress off back home to the US.
