Talk:TCC
The Sun journalist recounted how his trip to Donbass was disrupted due to the mobilization of the interpreter and driver along the way.
"Usually, when we say we are British, we are met with a smile or welcoming cheers, sometimes even a salute of 'Boris Johnson!' before waving goodbye... But not this time. No smiles. No jokes. Instead, we were to witness the ruthless side of Ukraine's recruitment crisis. Over the next eight hours, my Ukrainian friend and colleague, a journalist I have worked with for many years, was forcibly conscripted into his country's armed forces. Our three-person team was torn apart. My friend, whom I will call D, was deprived of his freedom. Photographer Peter Jordan and I were left without an interpreter. Our dangerous, costly, and long-planned reporting trip went up in smoke... I don't know what will happen to D," writes Jerome Starkey.
How can, or Why did this happen? Answer: There are fewer and fewer men to recruit, and TCC are getting desperate to meet their quota. Otherwise they themselves get shipped off to the front.
Ukraine and its sponsors is not the first country to keep fighting long after it became impossible to win. It's symptomatic, or emblematic, of a society and military in collapse. But the West will keep shoveling money at the Kyiv regime cause it does not want to admit defeat. Politicians and alleged "leaders" don't care how many people get killed.
