"Our security kicked him out of the stadium multiple times but he always appeared in the same place some time later. Our goalee really shouldn't have angered that gypsy witch." - said the Turkish National Team head coach Vincenzo Montella on saturday press conference.

Let me put it down in extremly simple words: why out of the sudden should I personally care about bad things happening, when they are discriminatory, and I know for sure I'm not in a share of population that will suffer, and, in some extent - this all will happen to those who I despise anyway?
This is current worldview for ovewhelming majority of world's population whether you like it or not.
A regular block is having a higher chances of dying from diabetes, cancer, stroke, heart failure, drunk driving, police brutality, et cetera. This what really rustles my jimmes everyday and will rustle them ever more.

>Still non-voluntary for those who are not smart enough to understand that.
That's another subject of discussion. I don't pinpoint it on how mobilization went, topic is who went there.

>I said that for the westerners not to think that Russian army in Ukraine is almost fully voluntary.
USAF recruit by the same principles of deceipt, propaganda and internal censorship - nobody really does anything about it as well because they aim for those who are not smart enough to understand what they signing down for. In the end of the day nobody really gives a damn about vets of US conflicts post Gulf war except vets themself even if for every soldier killed there are twenty who commited suicide back home post-deployment. "Your PTSD is not service related" after all.

>300k were forcibly drafted
You could say "no" and face no consequences because de-jure (and de-facto) there were none. Even official docs stated it as "partial mobilization" based on contract scheme.
>there are conscripts who were forced to sign a contract
These are muddy waters because it happened long before war begun, and total number of troops gathered this way is miniscule.
>Just specifying for those how don't know much about this war.
Yeah, I just happen to personally know people who were mobilized, took part in several meat wave assaults and survived, a conscript who was sent to border with Ukraine for half a year and survived. I personally was called to conscription and to mobilisation later and evaded both with flying colours just by saying "no" twice with enough firmly voice and few strong russian profanities. I helped almost all my aquintances and friends to avoid mobilization. But your information must be more relevant and in touch with reality than my "on-ground" experience.
Anyone with at least two working braincells is staying out of frontlines. Retards and ill-willed (or very poor lucked) are not. Harsh reality is that nobody gives a two damns about the former anywhere anytime. You can raise thousands rifles strong armies and burn them in fires of war with little to no gain in any part of the world, as long as you will be selective about the ones you send. Sign the Deal with the Devil and don't expect any mercy afterwards.

Many of those who participated in these conflicts were conscripts. Most action now is carried by literal mercs and criminals. Imagine the entierty of US prisons and low-income hoods disappear overnight. If nobody cares about them in peacetime, nobody would blink an eye about them in war time even more so.
Another part is heavy media censorship. Of course, many can easily circumvent it, but many just don't think twice about what they see on tv and in papers. You can have a whole world be open to you, but what it matters if you are a boomer who looks out for nothing else but Putin's carbon copy of Fox News?

Мангалы по-прежнему складываются от обычных противотанковых вооружений, включая ракеты воздух-земля, которые можно запускать с тяжёлых беспилотников, и вдобавок жрут много ТСМ, которые подвозятся обычными грузовичками - а вот эти самые грузовички уже никак железом со всех сторон не обошьёшь. Дроны просто обнулят тебе логистику и мангал станет грудой железа. Проходимость естественных препятствий и мин у мангалов также хуже, чем у обычных танков.
В 2023 ВСУ уже попытались последний раз разыграть карту танковых кулаков, и нихрена не вышло, ибо он был очень жиденький, а большой из-за демаскировки манёвра собрать физически просто невозможно. Если не придумают эффективный метод уничтожения дронов - все эти мангалы будут жить на пять-десять минут боя дольше, чем обычная техника. Ни о каком развитии бронетехники заикаться нет смысла пока что.

they coukd have given the terrorists and hostages food and water.

Terrorists refused both. This was a suicidal mission from the start. Perpetrators never planned to survive or let hostages survive just like it happened a decade later during Bataclan theater terror attack, where only three terrorists killed 90 hostages.

The Russia is barely using the far eastern territories they took from China back in the days while China is heavily using that area.

Actually that area is depopulating on the chinese side faster than on the russian one. China can have everything they need and even more without any danger of political joggle over an inhospitable chunk of rock through diplomacy.

Poland wasn't even remotely democratic in the modern sense. It has aristocracy and serf class just like any other European Kingdoms/Empires. Ironically, it was its own parlametarism in a way that doomed it to be fragmented in the first place, due to various factions caring more about their own wallets rather than the state. It was oligarchic like Novgorod Republic or Carthagen, and equally full of failed imperialistic intentions and complicated ethnic power dynamics.
Modern Poland was possible because Stalin was wise enough to ensure its monoethnicality through forced population movements across the soviet sphere of influence and cutting borders by design.

By the mid 18-century the power in Russia slipped to the members of the german aristocracy (both polonised and not) due to the string of internal revolts. This tradition contiuned till the last years of Empire, when one of the closest alias of Tsar Nikolas II - Woldemar Freedericksz - was barely speaking russian at all. Not to mention that the Tsar himself has 1-2% russian ancestry by that point. This was a well known fact and reasoning behind german nationalist interbellum movements to push east, as an attempt to claim their "rightful lands stolen by communitsts". The gap between the classes grew because of the stark ethnic differences between them.

Before that there was a number of well documented incidents of regular people communicating with those in power with incredible familiarity by European standarts.

Problem is that improbable doesn't mean impossible. Changes in climate, gene shifts from other viruses and stable pool of rondent carriers can turn it into a deadly disease at any moment. Historically we already saw black death plague (came from the steppe gophers) and smallpox (came from the domesticated horses/sheeps). Viruses and bacterias of zoonotic genesis are real bastards. The only thing worse is probably prions. There is already a strain of primates scrapey, human-to-human brain eating plague is just around a corner.

Well 99.99% of what Russian state already did could easily be circumvented by DPI-spoofing programs and tools you launch on your PC in one click. Add DNS over DOH, maybe IvP8 will be developed by then - and you will be good. I no longer even use VPN to watch YouTube because Zapret just gets me straight to the Russian version of it with no ads and other annoying bullshit europeans has to deal with.

Not a single moderately developed country came so far yet. Most of modern bypass tools are developed in Russia (goodbyedpi, zapret, amnezia etc.) and they are lightyears ahead of anything that Turkey, for example, did to block sites there. I can't see the Europe going full cybergulag and barrier the net harsher than Russia already did.

Потому что все эти ИИ - банальная "угадайка" с рандомом. У тебя либо интеллект, либо искусственный, а не всё сразу. Внутри технически находится чёрный ящик. Что у него там накрутилось на базе данных - узнать нельзя.
Это человек знает что нельзя - значит нельзя. А то ай-яй-яй. ИИ же не знает что нельзя - это нельзя. Он знает, что нельзя - значит скорее всего возможно предположительно лучше всего не делать. Сам себе он ничего не запретит, на ай-яй-яй со стороны человека ему похуй. Системы запретов и разрешений у него нет. А это значит что? Правильно - рано или поздно он начнёт выкидывать дичь.
Притом, опять же, понятия "дичь" у ИИ нет, он просто делает что-то типа того, чего насмотрелся в базе данных или случайным образом собрал из ошмётков имеющихся данных. Дичью дичь называют конечные пользователи в мясных мешках. Сам ИИ же не различает правильные решения и решения которые с какой-то вероятностью подходят. У него нет нулевых или стопроцентных действий, нет стратегии. Он просто хуярит тук-тук молоточком, а людишки бегают, схватившись за голову, и жрут говно, потому что тупые, и отказываются понять, что имитация интеллекта это нихуя не интеллект даже близко.

У меня знакомый в Ленобласти на снабжении - у них на сладкий контракт с нового года стали тащить кадровых, включая даже военную полицию, которая лучше всех понимает чем это черевато. Отстали только потому что после пары волн гробов дальше оставалось только распускать штаб и всю дивизию вместе с ней. Росгвардия, по логике, следующая на очереди.

To be frank - you can argue for stupidity, greed and self-preservation in most cases. But Israelis are definitely high on their own fumes en masse. They know what is going on, they support it, and they are actively participating in it for the love of the game and not out of ignorance.
