Russia has recruited as many as 15,000 Nepalis to fight its war. Many returned traumatized. Some never came back

  1. Also a bunch of Africans from Somali and Sierra Leone. Russia promises them money and that they won’t be in the frontlines

  3. The ghurkas are very selectively recruited. These guys are the rejects.

  4. They are trying to pull people from anywhere at this point quite sad

  5. The biggest risk in such conflicts is not death but severe disability. What happens then with these foreign mercinaries? I doubt that Russia will cover their medial expenses and disabilities.

  9. All the best ones are here in Blighty, Russia is scraping the barrel even in foreign countries 😂😂

  10. Russia attracts people who are in despair with money. They’re not highly educated, they see the money and follow the money, not knowing where they actually end up.

    In the West, with all the movies and history lessons we get to see, we can’t imagine not knowing what a war is like, but for these people it can be.

  11. It’s fifth news about Russia in my feed from Europe subreddit today. Is it still “Europe” subreddit?

  13. They accepted to become  killers for hire for 2k a month ?

    Does Nepal want such people in their country ?

  15. Because Political Realism West traded with autocratic/authoritarian regimes, giving them money and technologies for evolution and start of globalization use in their own interests, most likely, WW3 already started.

    It doesn’t seem as such only because it is very different from others two, much closer to Cold War characteristics, but now with too much and too unstable actors to remain predominantly in form of proxy wars.

    In future history books, if they exist at all, the main prerequisites for war, probably, will be Budapest Memorandum fraud (contradiction between long-term ideological desires and short-term Political Realism benefits), and 2008-2021 years Western pacification policies (Too strong hopes on Information Age, postmodernism, globalization, without understanding that part of resources that the West gave to autocratic regimes was spent on their distortion. As it was with 1920-1930s soviet industrialization/militarization).

    Sarajevo assassination analogues – 2014 year and 2021 year ultimatum, Russian official claim onto Western Europe.

    2022-2024 years – something between of Neville Chamberlain’s “Peace of our time” and Phoney War period.

    The real war most likely will begin not from some critical event, explosion, but by continuation of International Law discredit, implosion, and then instant phase transition – partial return of the World to 19th centuries norms.

    Sides will be divided essentially by level of education and quality of culture/ethics/social traditions (Freedom of Speech * time).

    On more pro-imperialistic, pro-populism-fascism-monarchic, pro-clerical, pro-feudal/slavery, short term goals, zero-sum-games actors.

    And on more pro-French Revolution heritage, middle term goals, non-zero-sum actors.

  16. May they burn in hell (or whatever their version of hell is)

  17. Russia committing genocide on both sides of the war at the same time. Quite an achievement.

  18. Where is our dad, mummy?

    And Ukrainian dads, dead at the front or locked up in Russia. And the Ukrainian mothers and children who died in their buildings or at the bus stop.

    I’m going to kill people to make money, it’s abominable.

  19. I find it hard to feel sympathy for people who took Putin’s rouble to travel thousands of miles to a foreign land and shoot at people defending their own homes.

  20. Wtf are Nepalis doing in Russia? I know life is hard in Nepal, but becoming a mercenary in Russia is way worse. Bro, you got more chances to make money and return home by doing food deliveries in Bucharest!

  21. Quite ironic that in a “struggle for Russia’s survival” (I believe Putin said something along those lines at some point) the ones dying or being damaged physically and mentally the most aren’t even Russian citizens.
