Will there be a total mobilization of several million people? The Defense Ministry gave a clear answer
Philosopher Alexander Dugin recently told us that a total mobilization is being prepared in Russia. Sources in the Defense Ministry commented on this information.
“Indeed, the idea of a total mobilization was recently discussed, its initiators proposed recruiting 2 million people into the army. I want to assure you - there is no such need. There will be no total mobilization,” said one of them.
Another noted: as is known, the topic of mobilization is currently being discussed . But if all the necessary decisions are made, they plan to mobilize no more than 300-350 thousand people. At the same time, none of the interlocutors give any forecasts about when exactly such a partial mobilization might begin. The issue is under consideration by Vladimir Putin.

The US active oil & gas rig count peaked at around 950 in pre-Covid 2019.
The count then fell to 250 during 2020 Covid and has now recovered to around 600.
The past week showed only slight changes, with oil rigs up by 5 and gas rigs down by 7.

I doubt if the markets will immediately recover, because economic signals to the Fed need to be strong enough to force the Fed to reduce interest rates.
Today's Federal funds rate is circa 4.3% but in 2017 (Trump 45's term) they were closer to 1%.
They need to be lower again, and so, what will it take to get us there?
What will it take? A new non-partisan Fed Chair.
Numbers look good, but in context a lot of those “vehicles “ should be considered combat vehicle loses as they are using vans, atvs, cars…. As assault vehicles.

Another massive mechanized Russian assault😎
Curious what the conversation is like between these men as they set out on their suicide missions.
One vehicle in the middle of open field, they know what will happen.
🍈 : "As of April 5, 2025, Russia has not engaged in a broad westward conquest...As now documented in numerous posts, for many centuries Russian armies have often invaded and advanced westward, southward and eastward as far as they were able.
Today, Russian forces are actively invading not just Ukraine but also Moldova, Georgia, Syria and several countries in Africa.
Russian military forces are also deployed in Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan.
Russian government propagandists routinely threaten invasions and nuclear annihilation against its neighbors and other European countries.
Russians have begun firing their Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) multiple-warhead Oreshnik into Ukraine.
So, any suggestions that Russians are not, or never were, serious threats to their neighbors, to the region and the world generally, are simply blinded to both historical and current realities.

RFA Proteus, the UK's new surveillance ship, arrives in Portland. The vessel is key to countering suspected Russian underwater activity.
The British military has discovered Russian sensor devices in the waters surrounding the United Kingdom, raising concerns about possible attempts by Moscow to monitor the UK's nuclear submarine fleet and sabotage critical underwater infrastructure, according to an investigation by The Sunday Times on April 5.
The sensors, some of which were found washed ashore while others were located by Royal Navy mine-hunting vessels, are believed to have been deployed to track the movements of the UK's four Vanguard-class submarines, which carry nuclear warheads and form the backbone of the United Kingdom's continuous-at-sea nuclear deterrent.
These findings, according to the report, were previously not made public and are considered a potential threat to national security. In addition to the sensors, the report reveals that unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) of Russian origin were detected near key undersea communication cables as early as 2020. These deep-sea drones, capable of operating for days and covering hundreds of miles, appeared in proximity to vital infrastructure without any nearby support vessels, suggesting long-range autonomous missions.
The UK Ministry of Defense assessed with high confidence that these drones were intended to target or tap into communication lines, although there is no evidence to suggest that damage was successfully inflicted.
