Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦

[PetermansRedemption]

Looks like this is far from over with Putin mobilizing an additional 300,000 troops. That man will just not give up.

Cannon fodder. No more equipment, logistics still totally sucks and moral is and will stay low. What are they going to do with all these untrained men who lack training, officers, NCOs and a way to supply them? 

 

Crazy.

Putin should know he is defeated. Guy is delusional. He should have gave up after the first month. Such a pointless crusade for his country.

UKRAINE WAR: Putin Threatens Nukes, Announces Partial Mobilization. 

 

“Putin’s order is already meeting some passive resistance: ‘One-way flights out of Russia were rocketing in price and selling out fast on Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin ordered the immediate call-up of 300,000 reservists.’ How bad is it, really? Well, Moscow just ordered airlines to stop selling tickets to Russian men aged 18 to 65. I guess that means that Putin is considering drafting men up to 65 years of age.”

This is starting to look a little like Vietnam.  Another example of a Demented Biden botch job.  Up there in front of the UN General Assembly begging for others to help.  Soiling himself like a baby.  What an embarrassment.  What a mess.

So you don't know much about Vietnam, huh?

Ukrainian partisans are back at work assassinating collaborating officials.  The Russians seem to using lots of husband-and-wife teams as colonial administrators. 

 

There's talk of another encirclement of Russia troops, this time in Lyman. That's coming from both Russian and Ukrainian sources.

 

And there's a video floating around purportedly from an induction center for Russia's recent conscripts. An official there yells that theyre going to be enlisted and get two weeks of training.

 

Which I'm hoping is just Russian misinformation, because 2 weeks of training is meaningless. It's enough time to teach people how to put on their gear, load and fire a weapon, and start improving their fitness. Deploying whole units of these guys to an active part of the front is assisted suicide.  Who knows what the plan is for these guys, if there even is a plan.

Not in the least surprising.   Hopefully Russians come to their senses and overthrow this tool.  In the past I'd always thought him a brilliant autocrat/sociopath .  He's lost now.  Health? Surrounded by ineptitude?  The more the people are put through the meat grinder the higher the chance he eats a bullet.

Emphasis on meat for the grinder.  The "partial" part of the partial mobilization is pretty much a sham. Russia said they're inducting 300k men, but only men with prior military training and/or combat experience.

 

Their actual goal may be as high as 1.2 million, and they're grabbing anyone. Guys in their 50s and 60s, medical doctors, skilled workers from defense manufacturers, doesn't matter. Check out today's ISW report.

If that reaction to the mobilization order is real it's not exactly inspiring, fleeing in droves doesn't exactly sound like they're about to take their country back from a narcissistic sociopath.

Russia is so done. A huge number of their young men either dead or gone, wounded and displaced. The oil revenue can only go so far
