Russians' support of Ukraine war collapses, finds poll
The Kremlin is worried about the political impact of war disaffection leading up to the 2024 presidential election, according to a US think tank.
You're viewing a single thread.
When a poll shows that Russians support the war, people are saying that Russians are bad. But when a poll shows that Russians don't support the war, people are questioning the poll.
The responsible thing to do is question everything because there is so much propaganda and advertisement everywhere
This is because if you watch the war closely, you'll see that russkies are supporting the war. It started with ~140k troops. Now, after losing about 150k to 300k, there are 400k troops. And there's no active draft, too much of them are
collectorscontractors volunteered to go and kill Ukrainians.The biggest mystery to me is why people with knowledge barely above zero are talking on the internet like they're experts.
Yeah exactly, why would you?
They volunteered because the monthly salary is more than most Russians earn in a year, especially in Southern/Eastern regions with no opportunities. Most sign up for the money, nothing more or less.
That's a totally valid reason for invading another country and committing war crimes. Where can I sign up?
Not saying it's valid or that we should excuse it etc. Simply pointing out that the fact that the majority of Russian soldiers currently in Ukraine are volunteers doesn't necessarily mean they're all hyper-nationalists who love the war
Well first you've gotta let neoliberals take power. Give that a couple decades to slide into fascism, then wages will plunge as corporate interests gain total control of the government. Wait a few more decades for these policies to come to bear. Only then can you take a slice of the pie of the overinflated budget of the imperial apparatus.
