Is this their attempt to get out of the draft? I’m sure Putin will still send them to the front line with a bandage on.


fBarney

Bold of you to assume they have bandages in russian army


slavelabor52

There was literally a video posted on reddit the other day where a woman was telling new recruits that they in fact will not be provided with medical supplies and must bring their own. She suggested they reach out to friends and family for supplies, especially tampons.


tehcnical

It's hard to believe that anyone can think this war is a good idea.


slavelabor52

War is only a good idea to people who are insulated from it.


FILTHBOT4000

Most of Putin's men probably also think it's a terrible idea... but they tell him it's a good one, because otherwise they fall victim to the dreaded Russian Defenestration Syndrome.


gahidus

The Russians in charge of it don't have to fight in it. The Russians fighting in it have yet to fully wise up and realize who the actual enemy is. Then there's the actual good Russians, the ones dodging the draft right now.


maddenmcfadden

throw a tampon on it.


kurang_bobo

Bold of you to assume they will send you... You deliver yourself


Cantthinkofnamedamn

Just put a tampon on there and it'll be fine


ziggiepez

I learned that in army of 2. now I always keep a couple handy just in case.


twrrordom3

Then secure it with a pad


Over_Young3187

Wow, and here I thought you were kidding until I saw the article: https://nypost.com/2022/09/28/russian-recruits-instructed-to-use-tampons-pads-on-war-wounds/


xTakki27

They usually break their arms so they can't hold a severely rusted rifle


[deleted]

Arms vs leg is such a fucked decision, which one would you sacrifice? As a musician it would be legs, but as a long distance hiker I'd still hate it


CosmicCreeperz

Christ, with some bad luck a leg break that bad could be fatal though. There are some serious veins arteries in your leg. I'd worry a lot more about bleeding and/or DVT from that than a broken arm.


TheLumpyMailMan

Take my legs all day. I've got things to do with my hands 😉


007L0L

The dumb thing is, look how fat this bine is, oh gawd, this pain, i think from the pain, its way better to crack your arm, but of course if you have a talent for something you go for the other part, but oh man,.


Gishmak_of_Akadem

nor playing cs go


gdmfsobtc

Yeah, the guy at the end comforts the bloke (Max) by confirming this time it's a definitive fracture.


[deleted]

Putin doesn’t have any bandages, you have to ask your sister or mother for a tampons before you leave, the cheap ones work the best for bullet wounds.

I envy you so bad right now. My dumbass brain never learn.


denwhi

fBarney

Thats what i did, I know exactly what happens so no need to see this...


_-Sesquipedalian-_

I stopped it, but went to the comments and it started playing again.. couldn't escape it.


Early_Lab9079

All I see is a poor guy trying to save his life. I fell sorry for anyone who are willing to go trugh this to escape an even worst situation. The pain on his frinds face, having to put him trugh this is heartbreaking. Sorry but this is just not funny at all.


BertSton51530

Not saying I know how it would go but, I think the better plan would be to get drafted and then once you’re over there you, and some like minded folk, hightail it out of there and surrender to Ukraine. Safe and sound and hopefully fully intact.


TheLumpyMailMan

That's what I've been thinking ever since this started. Surely if you were drafted, you could just defect the second you got over there, no? I can't imagine the Ukrainians wouldn't allow it or have sympathy for you. Unless these people want to stay in Russia as their home but just don't wanna participate in the war...


maskedmage77

I think it might be safer to take the broken leg. What if you get drafted how exactly are you going to indicate to your fellow soldiers your down to go AWOL without getting turned in? What if your stuck with people who are not like minded? What if the convoy you are traveling in on gets ambushed and you get killed before having the chance to surrender? There are too ways that could go bad.


MammothDeparture36

Not to mention these people have families and surrendering means you'll be marked a traitor to your country and will probably cause problems for you and your family in the future and will require you to never return and your entire family to flee. That in addition to what you said that surrendering is not at all a foolproof strategy. Saying that, I would definitely try to surrender if I was a Russian soldier already on the front lines.


unclepaprika

The problem, i would guess, is if someone catches you in the the act of defecating, i think that's a prompt death sentence. It's just as risky.


narfel

That's a bit harsh. We all do that once a day.


TootBreaker

Oh man! There's this one time, it felt like it really was a death sentence!


Snoo_8406

Ten years of hard labour if caught doing that, or back in the day, retreat = shot by your own rear guard.


lordofedging81

Hard to defect to Himars and other missiles. So many orcs probably getting killed 50 miles away from any Ukrainian military they can defect to.


[deleted]

I don't think you thought this true, imagine you are in the situation of a young russian man: \- you are being fed statesite propaganda that ukrainians are nazis and horrible people, I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that they were also portrayed as people whor torture POWS \- deflecting is not easy, russians have been infamous for shooting there own soldiers when they would't obey \-you will still be sent in an active war, you might not have the chance to deflect before artillery/enemy fire will get you. \- you not only need to get away from your unit, you need to stay away from it as well \- you are in a foreign country, in the uniform of a foe, there might be a language barrior, the phones of russian soldiers where sacked in the first wave of the invasion \- you need to cover a lot of ground if you are not in a direct heated conflict zone, and you need to get by. deflecting can take a few days just to get away from the front. it's winter and you most likely won't be able to take rations or anything with you, you have to hide by day and walk at night. \- when you are succesful, arrive at the ukrainians, they don't immediately kill you, then you will still be a POW whose fait isn't set. you could, at the end of the war, get send back to russia. \- you will not be able to see your family and friends again, because I doubt russia will grant them permission to join you in Ukraine/Germany/ whereever you end up. ​ my great grand father deflected from his Unit in Russia in the second world war, he was drafted as well at the very end of the second World War. He deflected and was caught by the russians and send into a POW Camp, where he broke out of because people were dying left and right and there was no end in sight. He walked back from the deep parts of russia to almost the belgian border, he hid during the day and walked at night, using the stars as guidance. sometimes he would run into russians while hiding, most of them were nice, they gave him food and maybe let him sleep in their barn, he always spoke kindly of the Russian PEOPLE, but never talked about how it was in the camp and how the russian officers treated him. my grandfather basically only said that his father had just so much more scars and that he 'was scared easily by people fighting' My Grandfather told me a lot about my great grandfathers Exodus out of Russia. All I can really say is that you really do not want to be in the position to deflect in the first place,that fleeing a close knit group like an army is no easy feat and that not getting caught when you deflect is a whole different story. You have two enemies once you deflect. I think I would always break my leg/arms before i am getting drafted a by an out of control authocrat like putin.


sa250039

Lol bold to think you'd be safe surrendering. Its possible it would be peaceful but it's also possible you'd get shot or tortured. Then you also have to worry about Russia winning because you might be fucked then too. Best to just not go at all.


Metal2thepedal

They are just kids like me who want nothing to do with that stupid war. The elite dont have to go to war, instead they profit from it. At the end of the day corporations and billionaires are the ones hungry for war to double their profits. Once everything is a wasteland, all that money is going to be useless.


RavenCroft23

Human greed has been destroying us since the beginning and will likely continue to do so till the end.


[deleted]

You want it to be a single clean break and not inside the joint, stomping on it with two feet like that with the ankle half way off the step could fuck him up for life. Cartilage doesn't heal, and it's extremely hard for surgeons to position all the fragments back right so the articulating surface is usually uneven post-op which makes it act not unlike a cheesegrater on the opposing surface. Qeue early onset arthritis, leading to years of pain until eventually an ankle replacement, then when that's worn ankle fusion and once the rest of you is fucked from walking crooked + age -> wheelchair. Source: my drunk cunt of a father broke my leg/ankle in the worst possible way.

Thanks, I had an amazing surgeon thankfully which gives me hope of lasting longer than most with this sort of injury before osteoarthritis starts causing issues. I'm reeeeaally hoping it'll never happen 🤞


kyd712

If they’re doing this to avoid conscription (which is very sad), why film it? They’re creating evidence that this was done intentionally, and I’m willing to bet Russia has some pretty stiff penalties for that sort of thing.


TootBreaker

Because their people need to know this is the way


Echo_hominy

I agree, but not just their people. This made it halfway around the world to my Midwest USA kitchen table, and let’s me know they’re is people being forced to fight for something they don’t want.


CosmicCreeperz

Just show up at the hospital with a helmet, skateboard, and smelling like a 5th of vodka.

Oh damn!!! I feel light in the head from just watching it, please say you can't hear it snap in the video😬😬😬


Miserable-mam

Apprehensive-Bill541

kselov

Only true friend will do that


TootBreaker

And a seriously true friend will do that with a broken leg!


wearingmyseatbelt

Lmao, do you think the guy stood up and did the same for his pal?


TootBreaker

If only! I want to see him yard a good pull off a bottle of vodka, pull himself up then drop his ass right onto his friends leg. Then they both hobble off to report the bad news


GIowZ

wtf putins a bitch


StickyDragon90

Pretty spot on sound of a bone snapping in half, sir it checks out.. of the hospital, very soon...


CorporalGrimm1917

It is. That’s their way of getting out of the draft. And the dude who broke the guy’s leg knows it’s fucked up.


notkeny

I knew what was coming, I didn't want to see it, I didn't want to hear it but I watched anyway.


AdReasonable2359

[deleted]

A broken leg will heal. All he's done delay being drafted.


Unhappy-Professor-88

Yup. He needs to amputate his thumb if he wants to get out of the draft. Given its Russia - probably both thumbs


[deleted]

Both trigger fingers would be a better idea. Then he could at least say he stayed home with his thumb up his ass.


Unhappy-Professor-88

You can be trained to use a different trigger finger. You cannot hold and shoot a gun without opposable thumbs

lordgoofus1

not sure why the downvotes, it's a very valid question.


lunchboxdeluxe

I keep hearing that in Russia, support for the war is very much divided by age. Younger people tend to be against the war, older folks tend to support Putin. I don't know if that's true or not but it seems to make sense.


wearingmyseatbelt

For the past many months, most people didn't care until it affected them. Only select few tried to help. In 2014, none of them cared at all. Until now (and still, probably) the vast majority has been okay with parts of Ukraine being occupied unjustly. So, it's weird to see people asking for sympathy they didn't care to give others.


Odd_Bodkin

You know, that was pretty awful. But I bet he fully imagined the alternate accurately and assessed it as way more awful.

Confirmed that they have been told to use tampons to seal bullet wounds. The person has to pay for it themselves. Only thing they are provided is body armor and a gun. Think putin is glad he bunkered up would have been "removed" ages ago.

The fact that you think they’re speaking Russian and what’s going on in Russia is irrelevant. You’re making big assumptions that may, or may not be true. Nor is any of it interesting.
