Not long after the war in Ukraine started there were videos of some US volunteers saying how it was a trap and not to go, because the Russians appeared to be specifically targeting them for destruction, and how they were being poorly equipped by the Ukrainians and not allowed to leave the country. A few days later, I had a dream in which I saw Putin sitting at a table looking straight at me. He was holding a chicken leg up to his mouth, and was about to eat it.
The message was clear enough at the time, though I didn't have much proof, but evidence now appears to be emerging that the Russians know that many foreign mercenaries cannot handle the fighting in Ukraine, so they are prime targets.
The reason foreign mercenaries are fleeing the battlefield are two-fold.
1. They know they are being targeted, and that the Russians will show them no mercy, and
2. They've never been in a serious artillery war before, one directed by drone surveillance for better accuracy.
Not a weak man's war.
