'Something Dire' About to Happen in Russia. Recruitment Speeds Up. Pyramid Scheme - The Russian Dude [View all]

In 2025, Russia’s justice system has transformed into a nationwide military recruitment machine, bypassing trials and sentencing in favor of shoving citizens—guilty or not—straight to the frontlines in Ukraine. Police stations now double as enlistment centers, with officers coercing petty offenders, the homeless, and even crime victims into signing military contracts under threat of prison. What began as isolated abuses has evolved into a state-backed pyramid scheme, offering cash bounties and promotions for every recruit delivered, regardless of fitness or consent. In some regions, governors openly fund these quotas, turning law enforcement into human traffickers for the war effort. The result is a total collapse of legal protections: courtrooms replaced by trenches, punishment replaced by combat, and justice replaced by profit. No Russian is safe from being rounded up, marketed as a “patriot,” and shipped to die for a war they never chose. This is the brutal reality behind Russia’s accelerating recruitment drive—and the dangerous signs that something dire is about to happen.
