eigenrobot @eigenrobotthe russian military doesnt pay their conscripts or even their regulars shit. a monthly stipend of 2000 rubles used to be $30, its dipping closer to $20 now $600/mo for regulars facing Death on a daily basis and the rubles not going anywhere but down pic.twitter.com/xkPyzrqco5Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

Replying to @robkroese @eigenrobot and
morale is terrible, and always has been, bc they have no professional NCO corp, so the sgts are just conscripts who are 1 year further along, and who have been selected based on whatever hazing is apparently (and has always been) off the charts
