Tenchu's Thoughts: The Expendables

It boggles my mind to see PooTin cucks and Z-nationalists approve of the way the Vagner thugs recruit prisoners, then throw them into the meat grinder as cannon fodder.

The Devil's Bargain

On the surface, the idea seems all too tempting. Instead of serving out prison sentences for their crimes, inmates are given the "choice" to serve their country and repay their debts to society in the most patriotic way possible.

The inmates win out because they have a chance to redeem themselves and get out of jail as "heroes."

The government wins because they no longer have to pay for their incarceration.

The military wins because they get to fill up their dwindling ranks.

The citizens win because crime will decrease, the prison populations will decrease, and criminals will most likely not return to society and become repeat offenders like they do here in America.

And if they end up killing Ukraine's best and the bravest, all the better for Mother RuZZia.

The Sick Reality

In reality, however, this ends up degrading human life overall. In fact, it's no less morally repugnant than slavery.

First of all, joining the RuZZian military is almost a guaranteed death sentence. The way RuZZian military doctrine works is that they send waves and waves of cannon fodder in order to gain territory. There's no way former prisoners are going to serve in the military in any other capacity whatsoever, because they won't get any training nor any supplies other than the bare minimum.

Second, it seems obvious that RuZZian inmates don't have much of a free choice in this matter. No one really thinks that RuZZians treat their inmates with kindness and respect. So if the "choice" is between dying as a "patriotic martyr" or enduring another 10 years of torture and inhumane treatment, then how can anyone argue that these inmates chose out of their own free will?

Third, it creates an incentive to incarcerate more people and use them to enable "shadow mobilization." That means the court system and law enforcement will be encouraged to arrest more people and hand out guilty verdicts by the handfuls.

After all, if Brittney Griner can be "sentenced" to 10 years in jail for simple possession of hash oil, think about what other minor offenses can result in lengthy jail times. Maybe one can get 15 years for calling the sPeCiAl mIlItArY oPeRaTiOn a "war." ( Except PooTin, of course, because the rules never apply to him.)

Fourth, it creates chickenhawks among the RuZZian population. These chickenhawks can talk about dying for their country all they want while not actually having to do so. And the RuZZian population will go right along with it, as long as they enjoy similar privileges.

This goes right along with the depoliticization of the RuZZian people. As long as the residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg don't have to suffer, they can tacitly approve of this literal human sacrifice. This is the way to desensitize people and allow PooTins kleptocrats to continue their horrors.

Finally, it gives the RuZZian military an excuse to continue committing war crimes while pretending not to encourage them. After all, if they can force former convicts, some of whom have no moral compunctions, to violate basic human rights, they can then turn around and "prosecute" them if necessary in order to give off the illusion that they discourage such barbarism. In truth, however, the RuZZian military WANTS these convicts to do what they do best, which is to break the law.

A Challenge To The PooTin Cucks

But hey, who are we to judge whether RuZZian society is any more barbaric than our own?

At least that's what the PooTin cucks will claim.

So I challenge the cucks to this.

If you think this is perfectly fine, that prisoners should be allowed to join the military and become literal cannon fodder, then I have a humble proposal for you.

How about we take every insurrectionist that was convicted on January 6th, double their jail sentences, and give them the option to be sent to Ukraine as frontline soldiers?

That way, instead of living the rest of their lives as traitors and seditionists, they can die as "freedom fighters."
