Russian pro-war propagandist Prilepin called for restoring the Russian Empire beyond Ukraine, saying territories of the former empire and USSR should "return." He also said Russia is running out of "Russian men" for the war and needs 1-3 more republics to supply military manpower. #Russia

I love how he deliberately wants to run Russia in to the ground in the name of "return" and "slavic purity". Nothing inherently valuable, just slogans. Note to this dickhead: most slavs took off the moment your last incompetent leadership caused a CCCP collapse, and have never looked back.

The level of delusion is amazing. They are stopped cold in Ukraine, losing troops they can’t replace, losing equipment they are increasingly unable yo replace but somehow will get back these other countries so they can take them further manpower and resources.

Plus the ingenuity of "getting new lands so that they can get even more lands." Russia already has the largest area of any country in the world, with vast resources buried all over. They could be rich, but having had their intelligent population culled every 20-30 years has taken its toll.

That "Russian men shortage" sounds like a you problem, and not the responsibility of Ukraine and other Soviet vassals to fix. Maybe Prilepin should get a rifle and go to the front.

The previously conquered 'republics' of the Russian Empire, now Federation have provided the bulk of manpower and resources and Russia is now recruiting from Africa and paying North Korea for troops. So sad that now those from the small resource challenged homeland of the Rus have to fight.
