              You live in a 9 year-old’s fantasy of foreign spies around every corner, probably to make up for feeling unimportant in your actual life

                Couldn’t explain how I’m wrong huh? Had to find a different thread to try to harass me with your strategic non answer bullshit to feel better about yourself, huh pal?

                  I think “you’re living in a fantasy of imaginary spies” was a fairly straightforward explanation of exactly how you’re wrong, consider learning to read

                    That wasn’t you either. It’s also not what I meant, prove most Russian soldiers are volunteers. That’s the premise.

          Yes “facts” presented without source and as an unnamed editorial from a biased source.

          Where are you getting this nonsense “most Russian soldiers are volunteers nonsense” given the fact traditionally and currently military service is mandatory and has been officially since like 1986 or so.

              So a single editorial video from 8 years ago and a single editorial neither with any sort of source and the second straight up being opinion?

              So you have an actual source with first hand knowledge that can speak against Russian drafting and notably the increase in drafting since they decided to invade a sovereign nation?

              Also the kyiv independent is… He’s me out here. Independent the Ukrainian stance officially is that they are in large part conscripts.

                  I don’t need to. Their main military is by legislation conscripts. The claimant who said they’re mostly volunteer needs to prove that and no a retracted editorial is not a good source.

                  What’s your source dude?
