    It’s worth bearing in mind this war could be over in a single second, if the Russian army and its various mercenaries hoisted the white flag and proceeded to leave Ukraine and went back to Russia.

        You think Russia wants these people back? Why do you think they sent them to die in the first place?

      From the beginning, we’ve heard stories about Russian soldiers being shot for not following through. I’d like to think that I’d choose the right thing and walk away, but no one knows until they’re in that position

        That not necessarily just a Russian Military thing thats just a military thing. “Desertion in the face of the enemy” is punishable by death under multiple military codes. Including the USs UCMJ.
