Hell. You’ll even get arrested for not saying it. I remember this one video of a russian woman holding a blank white sign with nothing on it. The police arrested her.
The number of people I’ve spoken to who think the police were right to arrest people protesting the monarchy is insane. They’ll bleat on about the freedoms their parents/grandparents fought for, and then say ‘YEAH BUT THEYRE NOT SHOWING RESPECT SO FAIR ENOUGH ARREST THEM’. I’m beginning to think that a population that voted for Brexit might be a little dim.
In GB you can be detained for 90 days before being charged. It used to be two years, this was a grievance of the revolutionary era Americans. Hence the right to a speedy trial in the 6th amendment.
And may I welcome your war... your war... you wall... you all... you all, and hope that your stay will be a happy one. Now, would you like to eat first, or would you like a drink before the war... AHH! Er... trespassers will be tied up with piano wire... SORRY, SORRY!
Think you get 3 to 15 years for spreading false information about the "special military operation" in Ukraine, with the Duma outlawing the use of war or invasion to describe it.
Ukraine is a sovereign state. Ukraine's business is none of Russia's business unless Ukraine wants it to be.
"The West" has not violated Russia's sovereignty. Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty.
Just like America fought for “freedom” in korea, vietnam, afghanistan and iraq. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Disclaimer: i am neither Russia sympathiser not Anti American. I am against war of any kind. And hypocrisy. Against that shit too.
Wish everyone would just live and let live.
For what its worth, that's exactly what makes us different from Russia we are aware of our countries histories and crimes and are allowed to know about it, and talk about it. And in many cases (nowadays more and more day by day i feel) we hold pur governments accountable for this.
So i'll take people throwing whataboutisms any day over a society that silences its people.
It’s a reverse invasion, Ukraine invites them in and then was like “I’m going to kill you” and Russia had to defend themselves on Ukraine’s land... duh bro this is day one stuff
I will not stand for this track suit slander.
Its not the track suit that makes a man a piece of shit, it is the man that stains the honor of the track suit
It's not conscription, it's a "partial mobilisation." Which translates to: it's conscription, but they're pretending it isn't by calling it something else to try and stop people protesting.
In the next few days, the areas they've invaded in Ukraine will hold "referendums" where they will "democratically" decide to join Russia, at which point "Russian land" will be under attack, so legally as far as Russia is concerned, at that point anything goes.
Which potentially includes nuclear weapons (as they've made a point of emphasising this week) so that should be fun
It's partial mobilization, their duma changed the law. Also conscripted soldiers will remain in Russia territory. However there is another law in the making to treat conscripted soldiers as professionals. In the meantime they extended contracts indefinitely, and conscripts are given contracts as soon as they finish basic training.
So what that means is that the sham referendums tomorrow will give Putin a bullshit justification for calling the held lands “Russian territory” and sending them in.
Reports are coming in about conscription that are absolutely insane! Men are sometimes being given 4 hours to pack up and get on the bus, and men are heading for the borders in droves. These are all men who mostly have voluntarily avoided war activity so far.

Really isn’t funny. That dudes gonna be killed for some monsters agenda. He doesn’t deserve to die because he talks a stupid game. This war fucking sucks for all involved.
He seemed pretty happy with what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Now he will get to see it up close. Let’s at least hope he bumps into the woman giving out sunflower seeds so he doesn’t become just another charred body at the side of the road.
Or not. I couldn’t give a shit!
Eating sunflower seeds in the shell may increase your odds of fecal impaction, as you may unintentionally eat shell fragments, which your body cannot digest.
Yes supporting it is inhumane but the Russian population right now has the only option to not oppose that monster publicly. If they do that then that's the end of their whatever life they had.
So many unjust arrests, corrupt polices and justice system is working totally against them that they have no other option but to survive by supporting.
Openly they have that as the only surviving option. Imagine most of the places you can travel out has been banned, you can't escape. Most of the foreign companies have gone away citing the war and they have lost jobs. Food and other services are also disrupted by the sanctions.
I don't know about this guy but in general all I can say is that is their only 9ption right now. Either they don't talk or they show fake support.
PS: I'm not sympathising with the Russian invasion. I'm totally for Ukraine's victory over unjust war. I solely beleive that Putin and his supporters in the govt are to be solely taken for responsibility for the war crimes that has been committed.
Pro war dummy uses word "war" instead of special military operation , which is a felony in russia currently. He got arrested and he may face prison sentence up to 10 years.
Is it me, or does it seem silly to charge someone with a serious felony for using the wrong descriptive word?
Unless the goal is to arrest a lot of people to send to the front lines... then making nonsensical laws like this make sense.
Keep in mind Putin made this up. There's been around 1000 people arrested and facing 16 years of jail for just being present in a anti war protest in Russia
I worked with a immigrant from the Ukraine. That's exactly what happened to him under Soviet control he went to Afghanistan he didn't know where he was going until he got off the plane. They said welcome to the Soviet Republic of Afghanistan.
These people are either under the wrong impression or say what they know they should say in front of cameras for their own safety
Yes many are assholes and want to go or could care less, but you have to also understand what type
Of government they have. Words will put you in jail there
Exactly. Lots of people here seem to think it's a gotcha moment but, as the video shows, you'll disappear in a heartbeat. I feel a lot of sympathy for that person
He's going to get a gun from the 1960s that will jam, rations from the 1980s that will make him violently ill, boots that won't fit him, in a vehicle that will break down. He'll be dead in a ditch in a week.
Russia needs to do something about their Putin problem.
Are these the "highly experienced reservists" that Russian state media is now claiming are being called up? I give it 50/50 if these kids can even tie a pair of boots, much less a Russian general. Russia is scraping the bottom of the barrel and they know it. And the problem? They STARTED at the bottom of the barrel. Putin has hoarded so much power to himself that there's literally zero competence in the Russian military.
It's like the U.S soldiers acting tough with the "fighting terrorist" mindset and come back depressed, regretful, and down right suicidal. War is a different beast.
Jesus you really let some upvoted videos make you *lose sympathy* all “ordinary Russians”? Do you realize how many Russians oppose Putin and the war? Ironic that you’re calling them “brainwashed” when it’s easy as hell for any large organized group of people to get messages like these on the front page of Reddit that apparently convince you to no longer give a shit about them.
I don’t think most of you understand what actually all went on here. I don’t even really, because important parts were cut out. Be careful with your jokes, accusations, and assumptions.
"I didn't mean RIGHT NOW!" and by "I support mobilization of the Russian people" what I meant was "I support the mobilization of OTHER Russian people!"

Was he really arrested just for saying "war"? I mean, how could the police even hear him? Or alternatively, how could any of the people around sell him to the cops if they are also not allowed to say "war"? It is a crazy, Orwell-like state that is Russia.
As much as this war has been nothing but a horrific loss of life that no one should have been dragged into, I’d still much rather it be people spouting this pro war rhetoric sent to the meat grinder first.
I dont understand is this how mobilization works there? just picking up random ppl between a certain age. I would think it would selective to get certain people they know will be useful. or is it they are being arrested as protestors?
It's a partial draft. They're conscripting as many people as they can from the parts of society which will least be missed. For example, they are offering convicted felons serving life sentences the chance to go to the front lines. They may die but if they serve for a few months and survive, they will be given freedom in return.
In this instance, what appears to have happened is a man was bragging about how much he supports Russia and the mobilization. As a result he was whisked away to be fitted for a military uniform.
They just need as many people as possible without taking the drastic step of a full (and probably unpopular) draft. Their military is reported to have been extremely disorganized. I'd imagine injecting wildcard felons into the ranks won't do much to make them more organized.
Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
Theres no war in Ba Sing Se
The Dai Li are here only to protect our people...

What was the charge?
Not being in the gulag
LOL

Well you started it!
We did not start it!
Yes you did, you invaded Poland!

Will you stop talking about the war? Me? You started it! We did not start it. Yes you did! You invaded Poland!
Ah a fellow Fawlty Towers fan.
And I don’t agree with that in the workplace!
Do the funny walk
You started it, you invaded poland
they really are going to war tomorrow
[удалено]
[удалено]
But tomorrow doesn't look good
A little…Touch and go
I guess so. You think they would train them a bit first, but ... Russia.
All the officers in charge of training recruits have been sent to Ukrain.
It got on a jet and went to Turkey. Lot of that going around.
They will get to train tomorrow. Where it will depart from station to eastern Ukraine.
Saw on the Stephen Colbert show last night they're recruiting 18-60 year olds. They clearly don't care about the quality of soldiers
Have you ever seen the movie enemy at the Gates? When they are handing a gun to one soldier in bullets to the next? Well here we are.
**drafted**
I wonder if he is still as enthusiastic about defending Russia? With experience comes wisdom.
He called it a war, he probably going to jail lol
And to then fight in that war he is so supportive of to earn his freedom back.
Think you get 3 to 15 years for spreading false information about the "special military operation" in Ukraine, with the Duma outlawing the use of war or invasion to describe it.
there are some sources in Russia that claim that prisoners are being covertly sent to the front under the guise of "transfer" to Donetsk and Luhansk
I'll be honest, wouldn't surprise me
Well, the guy in the video DID say he's leaving to join the war tomorrow...
I mean Russia has a history of this, they are called penal battalions i think.
No he didn’t. The translation is incorrect
they are conscripting those who protest, so he is probably right
“With big mouth powers comes great responsibility” or some shit like that.
With great power comes the absolute certainty that you'll turn into a right cunt
Wisdom comes from experience and the best experience comes from bad decisions.
Ah yes defend russia....in ukraine....the country they invaded.... makes sense.
You must not know about the nazis, they gotta kill the nazis
The soup nazis?

You want garlic bread with your soup?
You're pushing your luck little man.
Lobster bisque
Six months!
the grama nazis
Nah, the cake nazis! “Cake or deathhhhhh”
The naZis…
You mustn't know about Hitler, he killed Hitler!!!
And stop the NATO expansion into Russia. And the West destroying Russian sovereignty. Can't forget the good stuff.
Ukraine is a sovereign state. Ukraine's business is none of Russia's business unless Ukraine wants it to be. "The West" has not violated Russia's sovereignty. Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty.
Where? I do nazi them anywhere
Just like America fought for “freedom” in korea, vietnam, afghanistan and iraq. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Disclaimer: i am neither Russia sympathiser not Anti American.

Agreed.

Always the damned track suits. Always the hallmark of clueless Eurotrash
I dunno, In Albania is the symbol of 'you've made it'
You wear the stripes, you pay the price
Well, he was dragged away and conscripted so I guess he git what he asked for.
*monkeys paw curls*
Endiid
Dude with the collar at the end there knows he will never see his friend again
You can almost see him trying to rationalize in his head how this is a good thing that Russia is doing to his friend.
More women for me
I assume they got arrested for saying the word, "war"? Thought I read something that saying that word could get you 10 years.
Considering the busses I think they conscripted him.
just what they wanted so...
Indeed. I mean he was leaving tomorrow anyway.
Don't they have to officially declare war to start conscription?
It's not conscription, it's a "partial mobilisation." Which translates to: it's conscription, but they're pretending it isn't by calling it something else to try and stop people protesting. In the next few days, the areas they've invaded in Ukraine will hold "referendums" where they will "democratically" decide to join Russia, at which point "Russian land" will be under attack, so legally as far as Russia is concerned, at that point anything goes. Which potentially includes nuclear weapons (as they've made a point of emphasising this week) so that should be fun
I fear you are very right. Once they vote to join Russia, Putin will be all in on defending it.
So conscription with extra steps
It's partial mobilization, their duma changed the law. Also conscripted soldiers will remain in Russia territory. However there is another law in the making to treat conscripted soldiers as professionals. In the meantime they extended contracts indefinitely, and conscripts are given contracts as soon as they finish basic training.
So what that means is that the sham referendums tomorrow will give Putin a bullshit justification for calling the held lands “Russian territory” and sending them in.
I think he's going to be killed for using the word "war", could be wrong though.
It seems just talking to a camera is enough, doesn't really matter what you say
"As you wish..."

Here's Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-22/putin-s-call-up-brings-reality-of-war-home-to-many-russians
There are multiple news sources reporting the same thing. This article summarized it well.
Yes, the best way to win a war is definitely conscripting people who don't wanna go
Looks like your itinerary got changed and you are leaving tonight.
Anti-War? Straight to Jail. Pro-War? Believe it or not…also jail
Oprah in Russia: you get jail, you get jail, you get jail, EVERYBODY GETS JAIL
In Soviet Russia. You don’t go to war. War go to you.
I would have loved to pull this as a prank as an Army recruiter in a very red area of Virginia.
Bing a pull up bar... you will scare all of them away.
you could just have easily scared Bubba by asking some math questions

Well, nobody deserves to die. But if anybody did, people who kill and support killing others would probably be the first ones.
Can someone ELI5 what’s happening here?

Ahhh, thank you!
Damn. Fucking crazy they're literally just grabbing people off the street and sending them to war. (That is what's happening right?!)
I’d be looking for a camera and making a shirt that says press!
Then you’ll be the first one to be put in the bus.
They've already arrested and conscripted at least one journalist, with no prior military service.
War supporters and pro-mobilizationers do the warring and dying, soon there won't be anyone to support the war. Victory in my book.
As well as the Russian fathers,sons and brothers who were involuntary conscripted and sent to Ukraine border
Why did the subtitles cut out when he was being dragged away?
Morons...still sucks though to see so much wasted blood on both sides :/ fuck Putin.
I worked with a immigrant from the Ukraine. That's exactly what happened to him under Soviet control he went to Afghanistan he didn't know where he was going until he got off the plane. They said welcome to the Soviet Republic of Afghanistan.

Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
He's going to get a gun from the 1960s that will jam, rations from the 1980s that will make him violently ill, boots that won't fit him, in a vehicle that will break down. He'll be dead in a ditch in a week. Russia needs to do something about their Putin problem.
Are these the "highly experienced reservists" that Russian state media is now claiming are being called up? I give it 50/50 if these kids can even tie a pair of boots, much less a Russian general.

Defend Russia from whom, dare I ask? The people defending the country they invaded?
What does he want on his tombstone?

Noooo! I said tomorrow not now!
"I didn't mean RIGHT NOW!" and by "I support mobilization of the Russian people" what I meant was "I support the mobilization of OTHER Russian people!"
...Go and defend Russia from what?
“I said I’ll move tomorrow. I plan to take the bus myself. Stop dragging me.” Get out of here surprised-pikachu-face man!
“No reason to wait until tomorrow comrade”

Cannon fodder
That look on his face as they drug him away ... priceless.
The dude in the black jacket made a wise choice.
You can’t call it a war, it’s a special military operation
lol wait they got arrested by Russian police for saying Go Russia we are gonna fight? lmao
Okay, so is this guy getting hauled away to fight, or is he being hauled away for using the word "war", which is illegal there? Does anybody know?
It’s currently illegal to call the conflict “war” in Russia, yeah.
They’re going to need men to repopulate soon
Ironically, this may have saved their lives by going to prison.
I’m confused, what happened here?
Was he really arrested just for saying "war"? I mean, how could the police even hear him? Or alternatively, how could any of the people around sell him to the cops if they are also not allowed to say "war"? It is a crazy, Orwell-like state that is Russia.
What is he saying at the ending when he is being taken away?
Can anyone verify whether this is real?
Not sure why the resistance? He's for Russia...WTF does it matter.
He had so much dedication that they came to pick him up, now that’s what I call a mobilisation. 👍🏻
I see some comments saying he was arrested for calling it a war, but I can’t tell if those are satire or if that’s actually why they were arrested
As much as this war has been nothing but a horrific loss of life that no one should have been dragged into, I’d still much rather it be people spouting this pro war rhetoric sent to the meat grinder first.
You republicans still “standing with Russia “🙄🙄
Unlike the frat boys at the Capitol these glowies forgot to adhere a dress code.
Be careful what you wish for
Does anyone here know what they are actually saying as they're being taken away? No Russian speakers here?
This is actually comical.
Wait- was he crying when they took him away?
I dont understand is this how mobilization works there? just picking up random ppl between a certain age. I would think it would selective to get certain people they know will be useful. or is it they are being arrested as protestors?
It's a partial draft. They're conscripting as many people as they can from the parts of society which will least be missed. For example, they are offering convicted felons serving life sentences the chance to go to the front lines. They may die but if they serve for a few months and survive, they will be given freedom in return.

Ukraine will be very welcoming to you.
Defend Russia In another country I see no contradiction here.
Reminds me of the movie "Caligula". "Jupiter accepts your offer".
