Russian Shills:

"Putin is never going to call up any mobilization because of his excellent strategic mind and that Russia is winning."

Reality:

Ukraine launches one of the greatest counter attacks since World War II.
Wagner Group is recruiting from Russian prisons.
Russia passes partial mobilization laws.
"How to get out of Russia" is a top Google search minutes after the mobilization laws are passed.

Russian Shills:

"The call up is more proof of Putin's excellent strategic mind and how Russia is winning."

“If he would have removed the leftists?”

Well, that wouldn’t have happened. Unless you mean he would remove them to replace them with real bolsheviks.

A modern advanced military’s relationship with winter has changed, clothing and clothing materials, aircraft, wheeled and tracked vehicles, how to transport troops, medivacs, field hospitals, and rear area housing in harsh climates, equipment and supplies, electronic intelligence gathering, and satellites, drones, spy jets, long-distance communication equipment, supply systems, and field rations.

Winter risks and challenges are not exactly the same as they were 80 years ago, today women climb Mt. Everest, winter camping is a lark, and winter activities are easy, not because we are all grizzled 1930s Finns now, but because we are in the 21st century and many things have changed since the middle of the last century.

“Now Russia is royally screwed.”

Until either cancer or assassination takes Putin out, Russia will continue this downward spiral.

Can’t wait till the corruption of this regime is exposed and they see all the elite getting passes and the demands for bribes hit, that is when fireworks start

you just proved why we must keep helping Ukraine, because they're getting hit so hard

Who is “we?” Aren’t you from another country?

Maybe you should take that up with Fidel Jr.

Now *that’s* funny right there. I’ll never be able to see or hear the phrase “cannon fodder” again without thinking of that.

#22. This winter is going to be hard. Wait until spring, when all the global economic and political trends become clearer. Over the next decade Russia is so screwed it is hard to imagine.

As I have said—Russians are all cowards and chicken hearted. They don’t want to get their hands dirty. Putin has Lost before the war starts. Now is the time for NATO to attack and roll to Moscow and seize Russia. Nothing can stop a Polish army with America support from doing what Hitler and Napoleon could not.
************
Oh no, Stalingrad proved outsiders can never take over Russia. The Boshevicks proved Russians can take over Russia, but outsiders cannot.

Want to see panic? Wait till they put in the draft in the United States. Its coming folks. To think there will never be another big war is to not believe history. It is only a question of time. If the all volunteer army fails us who will fight for America? The choices are limited— Mercenaries?

I saw a blogger last night that fled Russia a few weeks ago.
He said he felt trapped, because he didn’t have the resources to flee. Fortunately some people who had been following his blog, stepped up and helped him get out.

I wonder how many would like to flee and are trapped like he was.

Russia is widely hated.

There is a 24/7/365 media propaganda war against Russia. Idiots read and automatically believe.

Its people should have ridded themselves of Putin at some point

You are assuming the vote is accurate, no??

Now Russia is royally screwed.

I don't think so. All the west has done is accelerate the adoptation of a new currency for half the world and the Western deb-based economies fade.

The BRICS have what they need, and are discussing an alternative system to prevent the West from hurting them like they have done by throwing Russia out of SWIFT and stealing Russian Reserves.

There are other nations in the fold other than Brazil, Russia, India, China. Eventually, it is likely that many South American countries will default on the western debt that enslaves them and the BRICS will be waiting with new banking relationships, currency, infrastructure. Once the first nation does this, it will be revealed that there is a way out to a new life.

Just watch.

My grandmother was Russian. My neighbor is Russian. My grandmother left Russia as soon as the communists took over. My neighbor and her parents left as soon as they could.

Again, Russia is widely hated.
