This is the Putin equivalent to Stalins purges. The press ganged soldiers are intended to be killed. Ethnic cleansing of problematic minorities, removal of anyone who might fight back against the system. No deportations, gulags, or bullets to the back of the head. They will also serve to keep up the pretense of war while the destruction of civilians and infrastructure continues

That's a very perceptive analysis, Allen, particularly with reports that the majority of the press-ganging is happening among the ethnic minorities.

It clicked the other day when I heard someone refer to PutinтАЩs policies as genocide. How tidy. Do you think Hungry will keep its nose clean? NATOтАЩs response?

I don't know. Hungary needs to be out of the EU and NATO that's for sure
