Putin can call up all the troops he wants, but Russia can’t train or support them

Vladimir Putin can call up all the troops he wants, but Russia has no way of getting those new troops the training and weapons they need to fight in Ukraine any time soon.

With his invasion of Ukraine faltering badly, the Russian President on Wednesday announced the immediate “partial mobilization” of Russian citizens. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Russian television that the country will call up 300,000 reservists.

If they end up facing Ukrainian guns on the front lines, they are likely to become the newest casualties in the invasion Putin started more than seven months ago and that has seen the Russian military fail at almost every aspect of modern war.

“The Westerners who are fighting to the last Ukrainian are hiding those numbers, and pretending that the Russians have absorbed those casualties”

I think it was Reuters, but it was some Western network, actually had reporters in Moscow (rather than in the State Department). They went through funeral announcements and other records in Russia and estimated the number of Russians dead at 6,200, which is right in line with Putin’s number of a bit over 5,800.

Also, of course, considering how the war’s been fought (saturation shelling, air supremacy, etc.), it should be obvious that Ukrainian deaths far exceed Russian deaths.

Bottom line, as always, that ALL CLAIMS by the West are simply for getting countries to dump more money into the war, mainly from US.

Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.

Is that where you live?

Dirty Filthy RuZZian Nazi.

Who does this argument convince? If anything, it shows a human stripped away of the veneer of logic and left only with the snarl of an animal. Homo Sapiens, indeed.

“RuZZians are dying by the thousands every month.”

Only in your childish mind. If things were going the way you claim, the war was over 5 months ago.

All your claims have been proven false. Go back to your comic books, kid.

And most if not all of what YOU post carries...”And Russian officials said,” or “According to our (unnamed and unidentified) source in the Kremlin,” etc.

RuZZia is mobilizing because their lines are collapsing.

Stalingrad was 80 years ago. Why do people think today’s Russians see Ukraine as the existential threat that was Hitler’s Germany. This is a generation who did not grow up with Ukraine as part of Russia.

The Stalinist comparisons sound nice, but they are devoid of any factual basis.

“Regardless, it’s worth noting that the Soviets won that battle. So ya never know.”

They were fighting, for them, an existential war. Much like the Ukrainians are doing now. One tends to be more committed when one is fighting to defend one’s country, home, and family.

Did you see Shoigu's 12 minute interview from this week?

The "dirty RuZZians" have a number on the Western/NATO commanders who are running the war from a command center in Kiev.

I think there's a big fat bullseye on their cafeteria.

That’s a fact.

Who knows how this war will end, but one thing is for certain, hundreds of thousands have died for a meaningless war.


So Ukrainians right to exist doesn’t have meaning? Interesting. The left says much the same about us that Putin’s Russia says about Ukraine. The comparisons just draw themselves here.

Probably a good idea for them to download Zoom.

...of course that assumes the Russia allows Kiev to stay connected to the Internet. LOL.

“All of those Mosin-Nagants that they sold at Big 5....”

That was actually a pretty damned good rifle, and was widely used by the Soviets as a sniper rifle in WWII.

With all the doom about a Russia, the country should have collapsed months ago. But what do you know, it’s still here. Wonder if all this doom is being pushed by wishful thinkers or perhaps manipulators.

“. I’d say 25-percent of the crowd were hefty guys....maybe in the 240 to 280 pound range. Way out of shape, and unfit for any type of combat action.”

They can be used as breastworks. Kind of like what the old cavalry used to do with their horses when things got dicey.
