Possibly related to not wanting to be there, either.

Apparently 1/5 of soldiers in Vietnam were addicted to heroin at some point. Weed use was commonplace. Some reports say as many as 50% of might have used heroin (without becoming addicted).

I guess the common denominator is forced participation in a brutal conflict. Even for trained professional soldiers it's virtually guaranteed to be an incredibly traumatic experience.

(For clarity, I'm not suggesting any equivalence between the wars, aside from conscription/drafting, and war in general being pretty **** for the participants).

Wow that was brutal, but tbh what did he expect when they are thrown in trucks given a gun with no training and sent to the front lines.

Where are they getting the booze? They should be stopping that and then they cant get blind drunk

Even in good, orderly militaries there's plenty of fences selling restricted or illegal goods. I imagine with what Russia calls a military there's far more of them and some may very well be working explicitly for a general to sell whilst the general gets to keep distance from the crime.

Plenty of people selling that for quick money. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Ukrainians dropping into trenches via drone to get them zonked.

Interesting if true

For those not well versed in Soviet aircraft, The Su-25 is a slightly more capable Soviet contemporary to the A-10, however it's produced in Georgia which is currently not supplying Russia with parts so they are running out. To address this they are converting their Yak-130 trainers to fulfil the role.

To analogise it, imagine the UK used the A-10, but was running out, so started using the BAE Hawk in that role instead. The BAE Hawk is what the red arrows fly.

Two things that should be noted are that firstly this has been an option since day 1, the Pentagon just didn't want to spend the money. Secondly Musk hasn't been disabling the Starlink terminals, he's been disabling their ability to be used to control drones after the Ukrainian military started using them to control drones on combat missions despite originally promising they would only be used to control drones on recon missions.

Points like this often get lost in the Kremlins "Musk is pro Putin" bot spam.

The Russians have now released a statement saying they've received information on how to block starlink terminals from an unnamed source and will start production on the device

Probably Musk himself :p Hasn't he already stated Ukraine should just surrender and cede all their territory to Putin?

The irony of an African nation celebrating its new colonial overlord.

When the old colonists leave and stop giving out free money, then they get mad, but the next colonist shows up with free money and weapons then praise be our new overlords

Basically freedom can be bought, you offer a government and country enough money and goods and they'll be your bitch

This drunk wakes up every morning and forgets the script so comes up with new dumb answers for the reason of the war.

So now we've moved past it's nato's fault, west's fault, Ukraine's fault, nazi's fault, American's fault and now the new reason for the war is to help Africa and African countries that go along with the scam are being promised free grain by Russia

She said freedom to all the world after mentioning Africa. Such nice people there...

The free grain is a scam. They are going to give them peanuts considering what they going to have to buy. It is like giving them a quid, but they are going to be spending hundreds of thousands more. poo tin is a ******* idiot. We will see him come back to the grain deal with the new Erdogan to save his hideos face. Cannot wait for poo tin being dragged by his sack around Kremlin.
