Putin uses ethnic minorities as cannon fodder

[Cypress]

The U.K. Defense Ministry said Sunday that the impact of the heavy casualties Russia is continuing to suffer in Ukraine varies dramatically across the country. The ministry's intelligence update said that the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg remain “relatively unscathed,” particularly among members of Russia's elite.

In contrast, in many of Russia’s eastern regions, the death rate as a percentage of the population is “30-40 times higher than in Moscow.”

The report highlighted that ethnic minorities often take the biggest hit. In the southern Astrakhan region, for example, about “75% of casualties come from the minority Kazakh and Tartar populations.”

Putin is trying to reconstitute a greater Russian empire built on the blood of Tatars, Buryats, Chechens, ethnic Siberians, Kazakhs.

White Libs use Black Americans as canon fodder ... for policies in white lib controlled cities and for the Summer of 2020 Dem insurrection.

The simple, basic historical fact is that the vast majority of US military casualties in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam were white kids.

Putin is specifically going out of his way to keep white ethnic Russians from having to feel any pain or sacrifice.

I remember reading that the Free French Forces fighting Hitler in WW2 was actually composed of about half Africans and Asians from France's colonial empire. So seemingly General Degaulle was calling on ethnic minorities to save the French empire

This is old news but it makes me wonder: how long will these minorities put up with having to fight a war for the Russian whites before they've had enough? The way Russian conducts their war seems illogical in any conventional sense. Using unmotivated prisoners as cannon fodder, using minorities disproportionately for a war that is not universally popular and against a country that poses no threat. I just have the feeling this has to implode eventually.

And look what happened to their colonies.

Seems to me this war makes the timing to be ripe for a revolution within the Russian empire. Another implosion like the Soviet Union eventually?

And white cons used blacks as slaves.

Putin is a horrible man.

He needs to be made to answer for his crimes against humanity.

It could happen.

Russia has a history of leaders being deposed and/or killed.

I understand Putin is very afraid of being poisoned.
