How Russia is luring foreign nationals to fight in Ukraine (amp.dw.com)

More and more, Russia is recruiting men from the world’s poorest countries to send them to the front in the Ukraine war. Why are people joining up?

A friend recently sent me this article, documenting some of the lies and tactics Putin’s Russia is using to prey upon people from impoverished counties… mostly for cannon fodder. 🤬😔💔 Thank God they are finally starting to call it what it is… modern day #HumanTrafficking amp.dw.com/en/how-russi...

More to the point, if you didn’t notice… most of the countries Russia is preying upon? Black and brown ones. Especially from Africa. A shocker from Putin’s (White) “Christian” Nationalist regime, I know. 🙄😔 www.pbs.org/newshour/sho... (2/🧵)

An explainer, as to some of the propaganda being used… It’s almost like #Wagner was rebranded as #AfricaCorps (a dogwhistle for the mustache man’s #AfrikaKorps 🙄😔) sent there en masse for a reason. And how else might these sorts of tactics be used on the internet at large, globally? 🤔 (3/🧵)

Finally, an explainer from the International Federation of Human Rights, diving deeper for anyone interested. Are we starting to see the gravity of what’s happening yet, world? The lives being preyed upon and broken, just as their bodies are, for white imperialism? 😔 www.fidh.org/en/region/eu...
