RU to conscript arrested protesters to fight Ukraine..

Ya. That'll teach em!

Link to tweet

LOL. That will work out well for them.

Russian lawmakers have introduced legislation that would conscript into the military anyone arrested for protesting against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These people would be forced to fight in the invasion itself. What the fuck is happening to Russia. This is absolute madness.

You go and then immediately surrender.

You’re out and you get 3 hots and a cot.

We've already seen stories about soldiers being unwilling to fight. This would just add to their ranks.
