Ivans have nothing tangible to fight for...unlike 1941 to 45.

Think again, Odessa, Kharkov and the eastern provinces were historically Russian, Catherine the Great created Odessa. The Russian people want their land back, as are rumblings with Poland reclaiming their historic territory.
Putin is much like Trump, he currently has a 95 percent approval rating.

Russian military refuseniks are trying many ways to escape Russia and Ukraine service. Several reports of women wanting to break their husband’s bones to keep them home. Men offering to marry women with 3 or more children, the law of exemption from the military. the paper is The US Sun. Anyone know about this paper? Below is a second article of interest at this paper:

This interesting article lists a number of Russians and Ukraine collaborators who have been killed or survived. Careful organization of these killings, by trained Ukraine special groups. Killings in both Russia and in Ukraine. Enjoy?
“Let’s see...Our guys were called up for some little skirmish in Nam. My buddies and my cousins...didn’t have a choice.”
Hmmm. Your buddies: That implies you were all around the same age. THEY were called up...didn’t have a choice. You know what’s missing from your comment? YOU! Your buddies were called up; but if you had, as well, you would have said, “WE were called up.” But, you didn’t say that. So, you either enlisted (didn’t wait to get drafted), skated on a deferment, or hauled ass to Canada. Your profile page is blank. So, which was it?
“Probably. Countries defending themselves from invaders bent on conquest generally are willing to fight to the last man.”
That’s a fact. Only someone who is not willing to make such a sacrifice would criticize and ridicule someone who would. That says a lot about some of these pro-Russia posters: Tough at a keyboard, but would run away at the slightest hint of trouble. A man who would not be willing to give his all to protect and defend his country, his home, his loved ones, and all he holds dear, is not, in fact, a man; and his very name is an insult to those better than he.
B.S.
“Pretty big difference between being the invaded and fighting for your country’s existence vs being the invader in a mindless war of conquest launched by a mad man.”
Absolutely.
Go away TROLL
“In their shoes, I would be pleased with the ongoing demilitarization of Europe, NATO and the US, and opt to continue until I saw the bottom of their weapons barrel.”
You ARE in their shoes; you’ve been carrying their water from Day One.
Women are included in the Russian mobilization order: the plan is to draw females - non-officer females up to 45 & officer females up to 50.
It was called the draft. My husband was drafted and sent to Vietnam. He didn’t want to go but he did.
People forget, but this is another British tabloid, so there is that.
How do you know what the Russians expected would happen when they rolled into Ukraine? Did the media inform your opinion? 🤣
My buddies are work buddies and my cousins were younger than me. I'm 78...mother of 3 and grandmother to 5.
Ah. Please accept my apology; I mistook you for another poster.
If only Ukraine hadn’t violated the Minsk Agreements twice and attacked their own citizens in the Donbas for 8 years...
If only NATO had lived up to the terms of their 1991 agreement with Russia, forcing Putin’s hand...we wouldn’t be in this precarious situation.
Lots of blame to go around.
Sound of Music.
“ One man made a last-ditch attempt to escape the enlistment office in Blagoveshchensk by leaping out of a first-floor window.”
FIRST FLOOR WINDOW? Not much a leap. Not paratrooper material, it seems.
