According to witnesses, police divide those at the gym into citizens and non-citizens. Russians are taken to enlistment offices, where their military records are checked.

Non-citizens are accused of immigration violations and given a choice: deportation, or enlistment in the army, according to Current Time, an independent Russian news platform.

    I can’t help but wonder how long it will be before Trump deportation flights start landing in Russia instead of El Salvador.

      How about Cuba? Is that close enough?

      America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.

      Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.

      HitlerPig has already signed an Executive Order authorizing it, and has awarded a $249 million contract to construct it. Its scheduled to be finished in 2030, but it will no doubt be built in stages, so the first portions of it will probably be available by the end of 2025.

      The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.

      putin may call on trump to do that, since many foreigners are tricked to fight for russia in ukraine.

    When HitlerPig starts his wars, he’s definitely going to have a draft, if for no other reason than it will make people crazy. He won’t have a system, though, like they had during Vietnam, he’ll do it like Russia does it, and just grab military age men off the streets with no notice. They just won’t come home from work one day, and the next time they’re heard from, they’ll be on some front line in some war that will benefit the Sociopathic Oligarchs and/or the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

      yes. pull me away from my family. give me access to weapons of mass destruction. throw me into a frontline battle where it’s super easy to disappear.

      I once pushed a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker with flat tires 50 feet because it was in my way while playing basketball. I was 11 years old. It took me six hours. when dad got home he wasn’t even mad.

      I learned two things that day.

      1. if you impress them, nobody will ever be mad at you
      2. I am a determined machine that’s fueled off of high octane hate and rage. nothing will stop me from achieving my goals. I have yet to test my resolve against death but I have no doubt, that too will be no obstacle.

        It’s not necessarily as easy as you’d think. It’s not like they point you towards the enemy and then you can go wherever you please.

        You’re with your squad, and desertion is kinda frowned upon.

      Particularly as I thought they don’t enlist people from Moscow and St Petersburg. Only those from more remote locations that they care less about

        Let’s hope that they have to enlist from Moscow and St. Petersburg real soon.

    Work out they said. It won’t hurt they said. Working out an hour a day never killed anyone they said.

    deportation sounds like the logical answer, but it’s probably preceded by getting tossed in jail and forgotten about.

      That’s just not true. Tell me you’ve never been in a gym without telling me you’ve never been in a gym.
