This is is an amazing spectacle: One of Russia’s top news panel shows, generally spouting whatever the Kremlin line of the day is. But now, one of the hosts of the show has been drafted, and this is what occurred:
First point: These people are awful. They have been the hawkiest of the war hawks, but now suddenly the Donbas is a ‘meat grinder’. The femle co-host (the biggest hawk of them all) says that the host should never have been drafted because Russia has enough pedophiles and other undesirables to make up the draft. Another says that there are plenty of ‘ethnic minorities’ that should be drafted first. Then they start calling each other names.
Many Russians really aren’t like us. The fact that this show is immensely popular is a sad indictment of modern Russian culture. A while ago they were calling for nukes to be dropped all over Europe to teach them a lesson. Now they are calling each other cowards on national TV.
