Was reported last week (don't remember where) India are concerned about the number of people who are signing up for work in Russia, instead they get a couple of weeks training then straight to the front line as canon fodder.

Yep, well there's no excuse for them now. The reality is on the Internet and they get what they deserve for choosing the blood money.

From the report I read they thought they were signing up for a job, not the army. It was only after they arrived in Russia they were pressganged & forced to join the army. Also they tended to come from poorer rural areas. Totally exploited & abused by the Russians.

Ok, I didn't read the full report, my bad. Very sad for them, hopefully the news will deter others.

@Simster nailed it re Scholz. Russian gas.

Surprised it’s taken this long for society both German and international to call out his inaction.
Germany has long had deeply entrenched Russian interests so definitely an element of that.

But many in Germany calling for stronger support, Scholz is the modern day Neville Chamberlain.

A dithering coward or as Ben Wallace said:

"The wrong man in the wrong job at the wrong time"

Just want to offer my congratulations to Vladimir Putin on winning this weekend's Russian election with 97% of the vote.
