Russia extends eligibility for military call-up by at least five years
“Russia also maintains a “mobilised reserve” of men who have signed up to receive periodic military training and a stipend after their compulsory or professional service ends.
The new law means that those from this reserve with the highest ranks can now be called back into service up to the age of 70 rather than 65, other senior ranks up to 65, junior officers up to 60 - and all others up to the age of 55 rather than 45.”
Maybe Russia is now insisting that it is time to start sinking their Black Sea flotilla in earnest...

I'm sure these guys will be glad.
Those are not Russia’s waters, and Russia has no legal right to block other nation’s ships.

Russia also has no legal right to invade Ukraine :)
Legalities are what Russia says they are - they are just Democrats with a funny accent.
Well at least the convicts have the proper shoes for the tennis court.
Sounds like the actions of a country with “plenty” of manpower
Ukraine is losing that war. The Jig Is Up and NATO knows it. Ukraine will never be allowed to become a member.
A new narrative element is creeping in with talks about a ceasefire in Ukraine. It would give the Ukraine time to refit its military.
But Russia has absolutely no reason to agree to a pause in the fight. During the war its military has become larger and better and a total defeat of the Ukrainian army is only a question of time.
The U.S. and NATO will soon have lost their big proxy war against Russia.
In light of this reality the much larger, centuries old narrative of the superior West is also breaking down.
This will have global consequences for decades to come.
Remember before the 2014 invasion, when you could buy an American Dollar with 30 Russian Rubles?
Now it takes more than 90.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Remember when Russians thought that the Afghan invasion produced a lot of boys in zinc caskets?
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
“Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced a new security assistance package to support Ukraine...
🔹”Precision aerial munitions”
Any theories?
I am old enough to remember Russian propagandists saying that Finland and Sweden would never join NATO. NATO expansion is now non-negotiable. Because of Putin.
Lol worse than that public opinion in Finland and Sweden were solidly against joining NATO, something about a country invading a country to get you to change your mind.
Stop NATO expansion ✅
Demilitarized Ukraine ✅
Capture Kiev in three days ✅
Saved Christianity by bombing the piss out of civilians✅
Restored Russian might and prestige ✅
Er ah nevermind
Now that’s funny, I remember cranked crowing about how Ukrainians could not destroy the bridge…..
And the “vengeful “ response is to mostly launch Iranian made drones
What 57 doink?
My first guess is HARPOONs.
Second guess is JSOW.
What is JSOW?
