@NeilMacFarquhar Fair point on class. I remember doing an interview w Larry Korb during Iraq and he was pretty upset at the quality of solider we were putting on battlefield. Not exactly prison recruits but not much better. Prob why we saw Abu Ghraib etc.

@robert_nolan I thought so too, but was told that while US Army breaks much more rural than urban, it attracts far more middle class recruits than generally assumed. Needs more reporting.

@NeilMacFarquhar I'm no Russian apologist but the story on Russia paying recruits signing bonuses, relying on minorities, and lowering the bar dramatically for soldiers to join up could have been written about the US armed forces during our forever wars.

@NeilMacFarquhar Pretty much like U.S did during Iraq, right? You probably even reported on this Neil. Worth reminding readers. Can't stand Russian invasion. Also... American exceptionalism.

To fill manpower shortfall, the Kremlin fields combination of impoverished ethnic minorities, Ukrainians from separatist territories, mercenaries and militarized National Guard units to fight the war, and promising hefty cash incentives for volunteers. nyti.ms/3IqnetS

As much as I’ve been dreading this - the time has come. @nprgreene has just one more day @NPR. His departure is going to leave such a big hole.

Trump in 2016: "I'll accept election results — if I win" Trump inn2020: "“The Democrats are trying to rig the 2020 Election, plain and simple!” Brace for a contested election with unpredictable consequences for our democracy. politico.com/news/2020/05/2…

idk this seems so uncharacteristically narcissistic of our selfless potus “Donald Trump complained that he was COVID-19’s biggest victim. ‘He was just in a fucking rage,’ said a person who spoke with Trump late last week. ‘He was saying, ‘This is so unfair to me!’’”
Gabriel Sherman@gabrielsherman

lt’s very early, and a lot can change come November (or even next week!) But inside Trumpworld, there’s a feeling that at this stage of the pandemic, the campaign is spiraling out of control. My latest: vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/t…
