Viktor Litovkin noted that as a rule this sort of call-up lasts no more than one-and-a-half to two months and assumes that reservists receive cash payments

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.

“They know when we have a stupid moron as president.”

Miley and Austin are no slouches either when it comes to total incompetence.

Give them credit.

And then there is Biden’s cabinet of idiots supreme.

Also, that indomitable diva of disastrous decisions, Nancy Pelosi and her band of flying monkeys.

What do the Russians know that may be about to blindside Clueless Joe? Has he been reassured by his Chinese masters there’s nothing to worry about? I have no special inside information whatsoever but I would say Taiwan is in serious jeopardy.

This is a yearly readiness activity in Russia. Not really anything to read into one way or the other. They call up reservists as part of the exercise to ensure that the process works.

My guess is that if China moves on Taiwan, Russia will want to be prepared for any contingency. China’s hold on Biden may not be entirely reliable. If he passed away the fruitcake is a wild card.

Russia may take exception if China makes a major move into Afghanistan.
