You mean the very same sham elections of 2020 here in the US, which you no doubt participated in, that perfectly fit the ‘I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how”?

LMAOGTFO.

Common knowledge my ass.

Common knowledge is information that the majority of people either know or can find in a number of sources. Common knowledge is factual information that is beyond dispute.

Try again.
Sources?

25 million going back how many years?

You are looking at 50 year olds with one year service from the early 1990’s. And almost half of those didnt serve in the Army.
And theyve never been called up. Theyve got memories of barrack life when they were teenagers.
And theres no equipment or cadres for them.

And how is that going to go over with the folks at home?

Hey. I’m not going to play your game

Russia lacks the roads required to supply the 300,000 troops to be defeated in the effort to retake Ukraine.

Putin is like Hitler in his bunker. Making irrational calls for resources long gone as his cause is lost

Irrelevant.

Does the US have that 25 million pool to pull from?
Does NATO have that 25 million pool to pull from?
Does the EU have that 25 million pool to pull from?

And to think that Putin/Russia only tapping into what percent of that again? Do the math.

So when is Russia going to hold a vote on self-determination in Chechnya?

If there was a Revolution to overthrow the elected Russian President, and Chechen voters were disenfranchised, I would say Chechnya’s secession movement would be legitimate. Otherwise they Vote! That’s how Republics/Democracy works.

That’s correct.

Why I have to suffer the consequences of someone else’s thievery is another question.

Soviet Union fell apart, Chechnya in 1992 declared independence from Russia.

If you were properly educated, you would not be asking that question

I know where you got your education.
Apparently, comic book diplomas are the bomb.

Russia has a pool of civilians, which is what those people are. They aren’t reservists in any functional sense. Russia has no cadre or equipment for them.

And it is idiotic to assume a war with NATO. Any massing on a NATO border is going to be met with a general mobilization on that side, which are far better armed and technologically superior.

Heck, the Russians have taken to blaming Nato tech superiority for their troubles.

I counted noses with lots of allowances, and I figure NATO can deploy 18 divisions in Poland in 6 months (likely less), probably 30+ in a year. And that is with full equipment. And that is with a vastly superior air force.

I have no idea how many armed men Russia can come up with in six months or a year, but its certain they will be a rabble.

Really?

Russia’s total military reserve, people who have previously gone through military training, is 25 million.

See the mention, WITH MILITARY TRAINING?
