In Russia it's less volunteering and more voluntolding, conscription is just the draft with far less niceties, especially when you have senior soldiers raping and abusing you.

It's just another way to control population growth. Either pharmaceutical or weapon manufacturers, just choose where you want to insert coins.

as harsh as it may sound, you'd want to get rid of the oldest people first. So it's not even effective at that

It was 300k like two and half months ago. Now it's 365k. I hope it's going to be waaaaaay more than 500k this year

I hope it's going to be waaaaaay more

Please don't talk like that. Imagine if it was you or a family member dying in a needless war like that. Remember that people aren't their government

Looking at the wiki it is claimed casualties including injuries. Confirmed are apparently a fraction of that.

I wouldnt be suprised if we would have a very different outlook after the war actually ends.

Casualties do include injuries unless otherwise mentioned

A casualty, as a term in military usage, is a person in military service, combatant or non-combatant, who becomes unavailable for duty due to any of several circumstances, including death, injury, illness, capture or desertion.

It is sometimes misunderstood to mean "fatalities", but non-fatal injuries are also casualties.

That is genuinely bleak.

If you put on a blindfold and picked a random point on the Russian timeline, from its founding to today, this statement would be equally applicable.

Not everywhere, throughout most of the USSR things were pretty good for the average person.

Good point. There's strong evidence for that in recorded testimonials from cities across the USSR before its demise. When residents were asked about their living arrangements, work conditions and general satisfaction with life, they all had the same thing to say: "Can't complain".

The Russian information space is tightly controlled. There's little warning to volunteers.

You see, Ukrainians have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down - Putin.
