The "joke" really fits current Russia.
- hundreds of thousands run away after the Ukraine invasion to not get drafted (learning English was probably very useful for that, lingua franca of business and generally of the world)
-China is looking to make Russia their puppet state / due to embargo Russians cannot buy stuff from the West, so they try to get stuff via China (on a side note, they also get embargoed there to some degree + this comes at a cost)
-the poor are conscripted to die charging with their Kalashnikov against artillery. What's the expected life of them? 1 day?
- holoduke 2y agoWithout picking sides, but Russia does not have forced conscription. Ukraine does on the other hand force people via the notorious TCC. Russia is not a puppet state of China. Their relation isnt very strong. Naturally they dont get along with each other. But they are both forced to stick together and form a block against the west. Did you know that most Russians learn english on school?

- ancientworldnow 2y agoConscripts explicitly don't serve in Ukraine. The article even notes that.
- aguaviva 2y agoThe parent said, "Russia does not have forced conscription." The parent was corrected.
