During a televised interview on Wednesday, Shoigu said Russia would be targeting 300,000 draftees, mainly those with recent military experience. But the actual number in an order signed by Putin is secret.

Good luck outfitting, training, and kitting out the new cannon fodder.

Partial mobilization.

Russia demobilizes 400,000 soldiers every year.
The number of volunteers exceeds the number of called reserves by far.
I know several people who showed up and were rejected because they formed the lists out of people with previous military experience and or specific MOS.
This idiotic propaganda is as disattached from reality as stories of mass draft protests which were in fact twitter induced flash mobs of 2,000 nationwide.

Doesn’t sound good. More weapons. More escalation. More western incompetence. Bloodshed. Strange why nobody’s pushing for peace. Instead it’s war drums.

At least Neville Chamberlain tried to avoid the abyss.

Two out of three ain’t bad.

They will get WWII rifles, thin uniforms—but they won’t have time for any training.

Furthermore:

Yesterday, ‘Russia Today’ talked with the Defense Ministry, who were asked to clarify who exactly falls under the mobilization. Here was their response.

Citizens who fall under ALL THREE points are subject to mobilization:

1. Those who have previously served in the military.
2. Those who have a military specialty that is needed.
3. And most importantly, these that have combat experience.

Putin should read about what happened to Tsar Nicholas II.

They might want to get their matters in order before deploying. These conscripts will be going up against a legion of well-trained, well-armed defenders who want them gone… or dead.. or both.

Destabilizing Russia into Nuclear War may actually be the plan. The 2019 Rand Corporation Strategic plan lays it out. Countries always get the leadership they deserve!

You are truly a Tard. The are calling up some reservists, not conscripts. You obviously didn’t see Shoigu’s speech. He was clear that it is a mobilization of reservists, not “draftees”. There is no secret. Both Putin and Shoigu described what would be done. You can’t even get simple things right....or is it you don’t care to get things right? Which Soros/Neocon affiliate is paying you?

Looks like the despot of RuSSia is going to take his nation down into oblivion, just like the other despot did in 1945.

“Good luck outfitting, training, and kitting out the new cannon fodder.”

Give every soldier five rounds of ammo and every other soldier one of those WWII-era boat oar rifles. It’ll be just like Stalingrad.
