    They might the first ones to get training in a couple years. Aren’t they just scooping people up and feeding them directly into drone bombs nowadays?

    Maybe we should fundraise for some face recognition drones for the Ukrainians? 🤔

    They will never get send to the front, they will be used for propaganda to undermine the next US election. Lots of chuds in the US becoming 18 this year who will listen to these two cunts.

      Any young American MAGA men who are that dumb that they would follow these dipshits to fight for Russia, deserve whatever they get. I encourage as many as possible to join up. That’s just fewer morons we’ll have to deal with in the future.

        It is not that young US men will follow them into war, but that the propaganda will sway them into voting for politicians who will weaken the US and Ukraine.

    Shooting stuff at the gun range is like the most easy part of “army training”.

    This is the best thing they’ve ever done.

    You think they have the advertising IDs turned off on their phones? Or nah?

    What training? Russian grunts get no training, they get threatened with rape and/or murder by their CO if they object to being used as target practice for Ukrainian drone operators.

      It gets beyond threats and sometimes happens regardless. There are ton of videos of “500’s” tortures (code for those refusing to fight).

      Foreign defector scumbags with an online following obviously don’t get the regular fresh-out-of-supermax training regime!

    Oh yes please! Sadly, Ukraine’s funds would dry up, a lot of people would be against them, but it is for the even greater good!

    Hypothetically speaking, how much time spent at a training camp is necessary for one to be categorized as a military target / enemy combatant? I don’t know how the conventions work.

      Essentially, as soon as you have signed a contract to join a nation’s armed forced as a combatant, you are one and can be fought as such. Generally speaking you can be engaged in all contexts unless you are actively doing three things: surrendering, bailing out of a plane using a parachute as an emergency(not dropping as part of a paratrooper assault) or if you are in the process of being rescued from a shipwreck.

        True for targetted assassinations but anyone on the training/military grounds is a valid target as it’s not like you can go review their each individual contracts to confirm this. You just destroy the entire base that spawns orcs into your lands.

          Even targeted strikes on individual combatant (generals and other officers) are not considered war crimes. If you have enough reason to think that a person is an enemy combatant (they carry weapons and are dressed in the uniform of a belligerent enemy nation) you may engage them specficically.
