- Russia is replenishing its troops with an unlikely source — African migrants and students.
- Thousands of Africans have been forced to join in Russia’s war against Ukraine, per Bloomberg.

Is thispure speculation, or do you have sources having this up?

The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43 years old.
The average age of a Russian soldier is 35 years old.

Isn’t it weird that the country being invaded has a lot of older soldiers joining the fight to defend their homes and children? Almost like invading a country and being invaded are two entirely different things that can’t be easily compared.
Are you actually a tankie for modern day Russia? Are you actually trying to defend them? You know they’re just capitalists, right? Like they don’t even pretend to be socialist anymore.
I am posting statistics in response to claims another poster made. I am not defending anyone here. I think both sides in this conflict are horrible for various reasons. If that lines up with whatever vague definition of “tankie” we’re running with today, then I guess that makes me a tankie or whatever.
Oh yeah, just out of context statistics that don’t actually relate to what was being said but just so happen to imply that Russia is better in this regard. No agenda here. Anyone not a tankie would’ve immediately denied it because tankies suck. Also a non-tankie probably wouldn’t be named fidel on the .ml instance.
If Russia is running out of young men, that’s Russia’s fault.
If Ukraine is running out of young men, that’s Russia’s fault.
Okay 👍
Okay what?
Okay you agree?
Okay you’re being dismissive?
What was the meaning of your statistics? Explain yourself.
Okay 👍
I’ll take this as an admission that you have absolutely nothing to say, or at least nothing you care to say openly.
