"After we crossed the border, a lieutenant colonel said we could be sent to jail if we didn't fulfil orders. Some soldiers refused to stay there," said the soldier, who served with the elite Russian Kantemirovskaya tank division.

Sounds like the Russians didn’t learn their lesson in Afghanistan.

'Mum, I got burnt in a tank.' Shang Tsang is rumored was contracted by the Kremlin to personally lead Buryat tank armies and bring the Outworld upon Europe. Above is a photographic evidence as twitted by Kievan Ministry of Truth.

"Five soldiers who recently quit, including two who said they left rather than serve in Ukraine, have told Reuters of their experiences. "

-->"Vladimir Putin's approval rating? Now at a whopping 86%"

Has Al Reuters talked to any US soldiers who have quit the US's now pro-gay military? (I think they could find more than five without trying too hard.)

That’s interesting, he doesn’t look Muslim to me. The Russians only contract Muslims.

Might’ve signed-up in one of those government recruiting stations in Moscow, for all we know.

I guess Ukraine doesn't have that problem. Ukraine Passes Law Allowing Military to Shoot Deserters.

It is this way for a long time. Half of their losses are retreating troops shot by ‘non-nazi’ ‘national guard’ Oligarch’s militias.

Whataboutism is a term first used by The Economist in 2008 to describe a tactic that has been used primarily by the Russians and former Soviets in their dealings with the West. At times when criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about X?"; an accusation of hypocrisy in which a somewhat similar incident ("X") from the Western world was brought up as a way of justifying the State's shortcomings. It represents a case of tu quoque.

I’m still offering to donate five dollars to FR for every post you’ve made criticizing Obama or his administration in the past three months.

How about it Hillary?

The last time you offered, I thought it was for a year. In any case, why not add a zero and make it fifty bucks? You are convinced that there are few, yes? So put your money where your mouth is. Especially if you expect me to do the work.

I'm teaching you a valuable lesson about capitalism, comrade.

Why is it surprising that a guy named “Paid_Russian_Troll” is so stupid he is still trying to attack the idea of Russian soldiers in Ukraine that has been proven since at least a year now? Shutup Russkie! Who are you trying to fool? Other Russian morons too drunk or too lazy to check non-Russian news?
