Only an idiot would believe a British tabloid when it come to war coverage regarding the British military and foreign policy. Are you that type of idiot Snake?

Many reports ( actual video) showing the Ukies grabbing 60 year old men leaving church to give them their conscription notices. Grabbing 18 year olds of legal conscription age is one matter, grabbing 60 year old men entirely different.

Unfortunately, war treats both sides equally, regardless of sex, age, color, nationality, political party, …..none are favored.

And then they wonder why after they kidnapped these guys, then hand them assault rifles to train with, they go and shoot up the trainers and training center. The wonder of it all. /s

“They send us to certain death”: story of conscript who managed to survive in Ukraine

And a little aside on Russian propaganda,...

Serbia is not evacuating embassy, contrary to Russian reports: diplomats left Kyiv in March

An army lives and dies by morale. Russia is doomed if these reports are true.

Russia is grabbing men off the street to fight in Ukraine

It's so bad that even this battle-axe got pulled off the streets.

Her own fault for wielding that flashlight in such a manly fashion.

Sounds like the Nazi’s at the end of their run. They were killing anyone who was trying to get out and putting anyone and everyone they could in uniform, including even old men in their 60’s.

Alexi is 30 and lives with his cat.

This is not going to be a good month for Alexi. Nor his cat.

This one's interesting. Russia has units that dig in behind the front lines. When Russian recruits run from the front line towards the rear, soldiers in the blocking units open fire and kill them. Commie tactics are so cool. Reminiscent of the human waves mowed down by our own soldiers in the past.

Ukraine’s SBU reveal Russian invader saying he is in a ‘blocking unit’ in Russian army

Needless to say, that massive missile strikes by Russia continue all over 404 and there are reports of massive explosions and power outages in Nikolaev and other places, plus Kiev remains to be targeted. And, as was expected, all VSU attempts to perform "offensives" have been repelled with massive losses for VSU, including at Kremennaya and Svatovo (in Russian), but NATO--let's drop the pretense here--will try to throw as much cannon fodder at Russian formations as possible because they need something, like "breakthrough" in some sectors, because the Midterms are coming and Russians amassing troops for obvious things. Time is running out.

So, there are signs that the realization of grim reality begins to descend on Washington D.C.

I was on record for years--pardon me for my pleasure in reminding everyone--that NATO cannot fight a real war with the peer. Russia is not just the peer, Russia fields combat capabilities many of which are simply non-existent anywhere in NATO (US, of course, included). This becomes increasingly obvious both through operational and strategic incompetence of NATO planners and through admissions of such nature as by Austin or, if you read further, by:

Mark Cancian is a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic & International Studies who spent seven years working on DOD procurement issues for the Office of Management and Budget. His assessment based on inventory levels, industrial capacity, and information from the Biden administration is that the U.S. has "limited" supplies of HIMARs, Javelins, Stingers and M-777 Howitzers. "There are some areas where we’re basically at the bottom of the barrel," he told Fox News Digital. In some cases, this means the U.S. will likely start meeting Ukraine’s request for weaponry by sending over lower-end substitutions, such as lighter Howitzers that are serviceable but not what Ukraine is after. In other cases, the U.S. may not have much to give – Cancian said that while there is talk of the U.S. providing more air defense equipment, there is not much the U.S. can give in that area. Cancian said he reads Austin comments as a sign that the days of the U.S. giving Ukraine its best stuff are gone.

###

But this fast review may give you some glimpse into the "thinking" by NATO planners who need something, anything to show for their failed "offensives" and to somehow spin (to cover up, that is) an atrocious record of the US-made weaponry (plus from other lapdogs) in real combat conditions. There will be a talk about well documented utter failure of the US AGM-88 HARM missiles against Russian Air Defense, but we need to be patient and wait for the conclusion of the active part of SMO and with anti-terrorist operations by FSB and MVD coming at the forefront of this war. In the end, terrorism is the only type of war combined West excels at.
