Desperate Putin calls on Dad's Army: Russian officials ask troops who retired in 2012 to return to the frontlines amid mounting losses from disastrous invasion of Ukraine, MoD reveals
Daily Mail ^ | 4/11/2022 | Chris Matthews

Posted on 04/11/2022 5:35:32 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

The Russian army's losses are so high the Kremlin has resorted to recruiting soldiers that have been retired for a decade.

At least 15,000 Russian troops have been killed in Ukraine, with a total 40,000 wounded, dead or captured since Putin's invasion began on February 24.

Intelligence from Britain's Ministry of Defence said Ukraine has killed so many of Putin's soldiers that Moscow is scrambling for extra troops.

The Kremlin has even started to recruit from Russian-occupied Transnistria, in Moldova.

Britain's Ministry of Defence said: 'In response to mounting losses, the Russian armed forces seek to bolster troop numbers with personnel discharged from military service since 2012.

'Efforts to generate more fighting power also include trying to recruit from the unrecognised Transnistria region of Moldova.'

Yep.

Fun watching the Putinintas who desire inflating him, twisting themselves to obscure their vision of his utter failure.

Great trusted source./s

The reality is, the powers that be have cut off any info from Russia itself appearing in the US (case in point, RT), and are ONLY allowing 'Stuff' Made Up (SMU) to be spread around. We are in the midst of the fog of war, being mainly played out in the battlefields of newsrooms.

The indisputable truth is that Russia’s invasion is 6 weeks in and the Ukrainians are still fighting.

Kiev has not been taken, Zelensky is still in charge.

No amount of propaganda from either side changes that.

Betting that china is planning on overtaking Russia in the near future. china wants Taiwan too but Russia has food and fuel the CCP needs. From what we hear through the grapevine-lots of chinese friends here-— china is hurting big time on several levels.
I don’t know how true this is as other reports say china is amassing large quantities of food etc.

From the Art of War-help the enemy destroy themselves.

Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
Oh MucasMaximum, it’s remarkable that you can find a story that is snottier than the last one! You and the other Soros-Biden loving trolls must be making decent money to continue with this propaganda barrage.Take a break for a few days....

I think you nailed it.

The MIC has been talking about how we are behind in every major system since the 50’s.

How many M1 Ahbrams do we have? How many hanger queen fighters?

And yet I had to run fund raisers to get friends in Iraq and Afghanistan decent boots.

No amount of propaganda from either side changes that.

Reminder: Agreeing 100% with you about propaganda from both sides, however consider the contradiction that "no amount of propaganda from either side" does not mesh well with our side's propaganda of "6 weeks in and the Ukrainians are still fighting"/"Kiev has not been taken"/"Zelensky is still in charge".

You are coming to a conclusion, based on our sides 'propaganda'.

I'm coming from a POV that there is a 40,000 foot view not in the MSM news - goes to Great Reset versus Great Awakening, which is driving most, if not all the 'news' and the 'propaganda'.

A man is standing in the zoo, drinking beer, looking at the crocodiles in the pool. Suddenly, a child falls into the pool. The man instantly jumps after him, picks him up in his arms and, fighting off the crocodiles with a bottle, gets out onto the parapet. Everyone around applauds, calling the man a real American hero, to which the man says: - I’m not American, I’m Russian. The crowd disperses in embarrassment. The following day, an article appeared in the paper: Yesterday at the zoo, a drunken Russian beat up a crocodile and took his lunch. The unfortunate animal had to be sent to a psychological assistance center.

The leaders of UK and Germany visited Zelensky themselves making a strong point by just being.

In the long run, Russia is at their mercy.

Anyone with an intellect of greater than moronic size knows Ukraine is not going to surrender

Name calling in a war is just stupid

The MIC has been talking about how we are behind in every major system since the 50’s.

One of the giant panic of the '50s and early '60s was the "Missile Gap". Oh the horrors of the wily Reds and all their mighty rockets they paraded in Moscow.

When a rather significant portion of those rockets were actually dummies made up for the parades, or unsuccessful test rocket designs used for the same purpose - to incite fear in the west.

The US taxpaying citizen has been played for decades.

I can't believe Putin invaded. I predicted he would not invade because he had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Boy did I blow that prediction, but I was right in that invading was a blunder, it sure looks like Russia will be humiliated. China can't help but notice how poorly the Russia army is performing. Putin better find a general that knows how to fight.

Many believe that the war in Ukraine has shifted politically to where Putin’s very life is in the balance. Mother Russia will not recover from his blunder and as she continues to die, so does Putin

This is horrible.

Putin is killing so many Russians for his ego. And destroying the futures of millions of Russians
