    Just thinking out loud…

    As a surrendered Russian soldier…

    Would you want to be returned to your home country? Would you be safe from your military political leaders?

      I mean, going by the Soviet-Russian land warfare doctrine, I’m guessing they weren’t safe at any point after the enlistment process. Going by what their leaders are investing in and how they are engaging the world stage, I’m guessing they weren’t safe before that either.

      It’s not fun being Russian, i suppose.
