In every region of #Ukraine that #Russians have managed to occupy, Ukrainian kids are being taught to become #CannonFodder.

“We won’t invade #Ukraine.”
“No North Koreans are fighting for #Russia.”
“We want #peace talks with Ukraine.”

How many times does the West need to hear Russia lie before it finally learns?

Lol, co wlasnie znalazlem xD

Russian losses causing serious problems for recruitment

Russian personnel & materiel losses are so high #Kremlin having serious problems recruiting soldiers, & is relying on decommissioned #Soviet-era weapons
The situation will soon have an impact on frontline situation & Russia’s ability to effectively wage war

"From a queue of some 360 "eager" conscripts waiting to go to war, a team of up to six will "volunteer" for each new mission. Encourage your soldiers to shoot anything that moves, throw grenades, fire bazookas, drive tanks, fly choppers, split up and do their own thing..."

Also, an evening playing Cannon Fodder. I was a huge Cannon Fodder geek when I got my Amiga, but I actually owned it first on the SNES. Being nostalgic, I'm playing the SNES version with a controller. Still so much fun. #snes #supernintendo #nintendo #sensiblesoftware #cannonfodder #retrogaming #retrogamer
