MOSCOW, September 6. /TASS/. The mobilization of reservists is a common practice at such large exercises as Zapad-2021, military expert Viktor Murakhovsky said on Monday.

Earlier on Monday, the website of the Russian Defense Ministry reported that reservists were transferred to the Kaliningrad Region to participate in drills. "This is due to the preparation of the Zapad-2021 exercises. According to mobilization instructions, engaging reservists is a typical procedure for conducting operational and strategic exercises or for retraining," he said.

According to him, reservists are also called up when declaring martial law during the deployment of the armed forces. "Mobilization training is always conducted within the framework of such exercises. Based on the experience of the Vostok-2018 exercises, several thousand people were called up," Murakhovsky noted. By that time, units had been deployed in Kamchatka involving several thousand reservists.

Yesterday, the CCP, in a rare event, launched multiple rockets carrying satellites into orbit. In any conflict each side can expect that their surveillance satellites will be shot down within hours of operation commencement. The Kaliningrad Region is near Poland, about as far from any Chinese conflict as you can get in Russia. But, Russia has used every war I can think of to take territory because, like a cat, America can only concentrate on one thing at a time. If China attacks Taiwan we will rapidly either launch into a world war or Russia, Iran, and probably North Korea will use the event to take whatever they think they can get away with.

Incidentally, Chinese published doctrine is a decapitation attack for any hostilities they initiate. Think Pearl Harbor, but on a worldwide scale with nukes. It would be nice to think there was a competent US military watching for this. But the competent people have been blacklisted as white supremacists, even if they’re technically black or Hispanic. If they’re still in the military they have been reassigned to maintenance outfits in remote regions.

I hate that guy playing on Jerry Lewis’ acting persona he’s pathetic. I keep wondering when Dean Martin will show up.

Not just adjacent to Poland but strategically placed between Poland and Lithuania, one of the Soviet Union’s former captive states. The message to Lithuania is rather cold and clear.
