Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I hear Kursk is lovely this time of year for Russians.

Yep. Guarantee every male who is at least semi or partially able bodied who takes him up winds up conscripted and on the front lines.

Except of course for the rich or famous like Alex Jones who do it. They'll be exempt so they can keep luring more people into Russia to refill their troops numbers.

To be fair Alex hasn't been in fighting shape for a decade

Neither have a lot of the men Russia sends to the front lines TBH.
