Russia is reportedly paying foreign mercenaries a monthly salary of between $300-$600 to fight.

Demand Gold, don't take rubles.

Not so hard to accept as Syria and Russia are allies. However Ukraine is already full of a mix of bad guys so adding more to the mix just means they’ll all be shooting each other and then some.

The Goumiers did superbly in breaking the right flank of the German line, across the Liri valley from Cassino, flanking the whole German position. The Moroccans were excellent mountain infantry and experts at infiltration.

The problem of course was exactly as said, they were barbaric and could not behave themselves among civilians. The French used them again in the invasion of Southern France, Operation Anvil, and then they started to replace most of these Colonial troops as fast as they could, sending them home before the winter of 1944-45. New French recruits from liberated France took their place.

It seems this war is being used to make the world a more peaceful place.

Do you suppose it’s like the war to end all wars? πŸ˜€πŸ™ƒπŸ˜Š

Once they arrive in Ukraine, how long before they join the refugee convoys?

My ex’s aunt survived that in Italy. As a result of her sweetheart being killed and then this (she was a teen at the time), she never married. Or talked about it.

Time for Israel to take advantage and attach Hezzbollah
in Syria so they suffer losses before Iran takes
over Syria and attacks Israel.

They are sending rapists who rely on Allah to guide their bullets to fight the Ukrainians? The Ukrainians would probably post kill ratios nearly as high as the USA does. Something on the order of 30 to one.

If these are simply a group of mercenaries with no unit cohesion and tactics then they will simply lambs to the slaughter.

Supposedly. It will rise again and again, until the coming of the Messiah.

However, if you have killed off all the most violent people in the world, then it takes time to resupply them.

I know that is what happened in Iraq and ISIS, the CIA and other foreign players sold it to Muslim radicals that Iraq was their opportunity to save their world from the infidel. So, they all went. It’s terrible that the Yazidi people were sacrificed for that. It was evil what was done to them.

Win-Win-Win-Win-Lose

These Syrians get to leave Syria and with luck desert and keep going west - Win!
Syria likely gets rid of a bunch of malcontents - Win!
Russian gets cannon fodder that aren't Russians - Win!
Ukraine gets to shoot & collect the equipment of deserting Syrians - Win!

Lose - Western Europe! They get to keep the Syrians that make it there!

“We have two sides full of bad guys, very similar to when Germany and Russia fought in World War Two.”

Or the Iran-Iraq War back in the 1980’s.

There was real talk back then, of backing Russia while Germany was doing well, and when Russia started doing well, maybe you start helping Germany. Keep that ball rolling back and forth until they wipe each other out completely.

“Syria to supply Russia with 40,000 mercenaries”

The US will retaliate by sending a supply of backhoes to Ukraine for digging 40,000 graves.

Russia is preparing for the very unlikely event they’ll actually have to “take” the cities.

Their plan initial plan appears to be siege/blockade. It will most likely work to drive a surrender on favorable terms.
