Zero sympathy for very poor people who were duped and coerced? None at all?

  None at all. If you are a young male going to "work" in Russia, you are going to end up on frontlines. I would have sympathy in 2022 early 2023 after that these guys know exactly what they are signing up for.

      You are moving goalposts. These guys were not enslaved, they signed up voluntarily.

        Once they were in-country, it doesn't sound like it was voluntary. Guy thought he was getting a chill security job at an unrealistic pay point. Clearly not the smartest, but he didn't move to Russia to join the army. Just like Pakistanis don't move to Saudi Arabia to be enslaved. In both cases, the word is out and these people should have known better, but maybe they were desperate, or naive, I think we can have a little human empathy.

This bait and switch is years old. Kenyans have access to internet, they can use google and quickly find out what happened to others who took the "job". Most of them would be found on CombatFootage, lucky ones would be found in Ukrainian channels doing interviews with POWs

          Call it Darwinism then. Ukrainian soldiers shouldn’t put their life in danger because other people are dumb.
