I’m sure if you pop round and speak to their families they will be as devastated as any family in the west. You are dehumanising the enemy which is exactly what Putin has done within Russia to the people of Ukraine. The Russian propaganda machine has been incredibly effective and is something the west needs to fight back against but the idea that life in Russia is so terrible that they don’t care about their fathers and son’s dying is utterly ridiculous and that was the statement that was made.

The thing is that their losses are not being reported. Also there is this constant propaganda machine going on to brain wash them on this nazis they have to defeat. It is impossible to know when they are going to wake up. They started mobilization, but they don't question where their regular army is. Some areas are so poor that they choose to join the army and to be sent on the front line to get more money as if it was some hunting/fishing trip. Yesterday there was an interview with Zolkin where a naval soldier signed a contract to be in a war. Before leaving he got married so his wife could get the compensation. Absolutely ******* bizzare this nation of dumb slaves.

None of which is unusual if you look at history, propaganda has always been an incredibly powerful tool. Servicemen and women from around the world regularly get married on the cusp of war because the benefits should they die are generally better.

Plenty of Americans volunteered for Vietnam in huge numbers throughout the conflict, they were by and large well Educated and living conditions in the states were pretty decent.

*Air Moldova Says on Facebook That Moldova Has Temporarily Closed Its Airspace

And a potential leak as to why potentially shared with Moldova from US intelligence which is being made public.
Moldovian ex-minister of armed forces has information about russian plan, specifically:

- Starting next week there will be massive protests paid by Russia
(protesters are from poor families, alcoholics, etc, usually paid 10$ per day, they have no clue what they're protesting).
Their leaders are the crime group that organized the theft of a billion dollars some years ago.

- There are serbian "volunteers" who should take part in violence, also russians from Transnistria and some Gagauz paramilitary.
There are also FSB agents in the country. They are known.

- They will try to use those mercenaries to occupy government buildings (similar to Crimea)

- They will try to lock down multiple cities (block access)

- They will try to occupy the airport to maybe bring in more forces.

They plan to use a turkish or armenian airplane filled with russian soliders, claiming to need an emergency landing.

Today, at 13:00 local time, Moldovian air space will be closed with no landings or take offs allowed. Lots of flights will be cancelled. No official comment yet.

Also a number of serbian citizens were forbidden access to our country, they were attending a footbal match between a serbian team (partizan)... and our separatist team Sheriff.

My take on it:
Since the Russian plan to pass through the underbelly of Ukraine to Moldova failed; they are likely trying to stage a coup in Moldova as a Febuary "win" for Russia after their eastern offensive is currently a bloodbath.

Its the nature of warfare though to dehumanize the enemy look how much we hated ze germans after WW2 not as much as the french though, the yanks on the other hand didn't have that mentality at all. Well nowhere near at much as us at anyrate for them it was a faraway war and their homes weren't being bombed or people being rounded up and shot. It doesn't make it right but its what happens.
