Ukraine War: Pardoned Russian convicts leave trail of violence in their hometowns



Both Russia’s military and the Wagner Group have heavily recruited from jails to find people to send to the front in Ukraine.

Sky’s Diana Magnay reports from Russia where tens of thousands of dangerous ex-convicts, returning from the frontline, are leaving a trail of violence in rural areas.

  1. They Have To be Stopped in Their Path, they Were Born Bad ,
    Saint Micheal Our Arch Angel sent From God , Help Us To Swipe Down On Them With Gods Will To Protect The Innocent, and Stay With Us Shoulder To Shoulder as We Move Forward Facing Them, Hell is Where They Came From So it is Comfortable For Them To Return to There as They Do Not Want Heaven,

  2. There will be massive social and civil consequences for the Russian people and their administration following the WAR that Russia has waged against Ukraine.

    Despite the costs for the Soviet Union not being overwhelmingly large compared to other commitments, the Soviet-Afghan War left a long legacy in the former Soviet Union and, following its collapse, for the Russian Federation.

    Along with financial, economic and personnel losses, it brought physical disabilities and widespread drug and alcohol addiction throughout the USSR and subsequently, to the Russian Federation.

    According to scholars Rafael Reuveny and Aseem Prakash, the war contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union by:
    —- undermining the image of the Red Army as invincible,
    —- undermining Soviet legitimacy, and by
    —- creating new forms of political participation.

    I can see the same patterns emerging in the Russian WAR against Ukraine.

    The WAR that Russia is waging on Ukraine is going to have a far greater impact on the Russian Federation than the Afghanistan WAR had on its predecessor, the Soviet Union.

    It may be possible, because of pride, arrogance, hubris, jealousy and even embarrassment, that the Russian Federation believe they have nothing more to lose and will keep fighting till they are beaten to a stand still – Total Defeat.

    A lot of appearances but supported by little of substance.

    Afghanistan – Soviet Casualties and losses {in 10 years, 1979-98}
    Soviet Union:
    14,453–26,000
    9,500 KIA in combat
    4,000 died from wounds
    1,000 died from disease and accidents

    Ukraine – Russian Casualties and losses {in 18 months, 2022-23}
    275,000 KIA

    Another example of the application of the lost cost fallacy in action.

    The Sunk Cost Fallacy describes our tendency to follow through on an endeavour if we have already invested time, effort, or money into it, whether or not the current costs outweigh the benefits or any possible return on present or future investment.

  3. Putin declared a few days ago how prisoners that had fought in Ukraine and won their freedom had "redeemed" themselves.
    Great redemption: the civilians are paying the price of Prigozhin's brilliant idea.

  4. No General worth his stars would ever accept common criminals into his army. Criminally insane people belong in prison not in defense of a country. The fact that Russia has done this thing proves their government is not only corrupt but they are also stupid too. -Q
