    Nobody’s denying that you baby-brained fucking lib, yet there’s an infinite difference between depicting their involvement as marauding endless hordes of scavens running into machinegun fire only armed with sticks and stones that nobody can show pictures of videos of like the western propaganda machine does and the reality of them as acting in combat equipment support roles in the same manner as the NATO soldiers have been operating on the Ukrainian side. It’s seriously not that hard to chugjug the koolaid

        Alasakball is referring to the content of the BBC article they linked.

        “Quite frankly they don’t stand a chance. They are being thrown into the meat grinder with little chance of survival. They are cannon fodder, and the Russian officers care even less for them than they do for their own men.”

        this is the reporting that has no evidence, and is contradicted by South Korean intelligence according to the other two articles they linked.

        so yes, they’re there, but it seems like they’re in support roles more than combat.
