Bkk Brian Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 1 hour ago, rudi49jr said: Russia is apparently recruiting thousands of Syrian fighters skilled in urban combat to fight for them in Ukraine. Earlier Putin claimed it was reprehensible and immoral for foreign fighters to come to Ukraine to fight against the Russians. The man gives hypocrisy a whole new meaning. https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2022/03/russia-recruiting-syrians-fight-ukraine-pentagon-says https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-syria-recruitment-ukraine-war-b2030202.html Red line there surely, Putin has invaded Ukraine and is now inviting other countries to also invade, Syrian forces at that! Anyway bit of an update on it. Putin’s army clearly in trouble. Suggestions Syrian rebels will fight with Ukrainian forces as Assad regime troops help Putin. The world truly turned upside down. Russian Defense Minister Shoigu says there are 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East ready to come to fight with Russian-backed forces in Ukraine. Putin says volunteers should be allowed to fight.

About 50k of 200k has run out via Georgia already. Russians need other elite, more eastern-style, which will not annoy Russians with their "democratic values", such as "free press" or so.
