Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about some issues that the Russian government is having when it comes to force generation and getting troops ready to go

where they want to send them.

Reporting emerged last week that there are a number of soldiers who are very unhappy and so unhappy they have basically formed a soldier's union and gone on

strike. These are conscripts, they're draftees, and the numbers involved vary. There is a little bit of

footage easily a hundred. The main complaint is that at least at the moment at the time all of this reporting broke.

The Russian government owes them like 200,000 rubles, 195,000 rubles, something like that.

It's about three grand, a little more than 3,000 US, and that they haven't paid it.

They put out a statement, the soldiers.

We are risking our own lives to die for your safety and peaceful life.

We refuse to participate in the special military operation and will seek justice until we are paid the money promised by our government,

headed by the president of the Russian Federation.

Again, a direct shout out to Putin.

Now, to put this into perspective. This is occurring at the integrated training facility in

Ullianovsk to Americanize this for a second. It's Benning. This is not some tiny

out in the middle of nowhere. The reporting again, there's no way to verify this, but I've seen numbers as low as 100,

as high as 1,000. The footage shows a hundred more or less. I didn't sit there and

count but about a hundred. They're chanting all kinds of things. It is very much

a one-for-all and all for one type of mood.

This is a situation the Russian government is going to have to trade very lightly with.

When they're going through training, they're handed something to train with.

If you have a bunch of disgruntled people that you have pulled back because they already have military service,

perhaps arming them without addressing their grievances isn't the best idea.
