This is true, but None of them spread communism like the Russians, did, and none of them are threatening to nuke europe at this instant. Heck 90% of the problems with minorities around the world is the infestastion of communist thought and propaganda that ate away at their countries, and caused the productive populations to flee.

I keep wondering how they can (re)train 300k troopa, feed them, arm them, house them, ... In any amount of time that would benefit the war before winter.

No fucking way they get them ready in time.

This is throwing meat to the grinder for hardly any purpose.


Well, at least pootypoo didnt start lying about WMD in UKR and sucker dozens of other countries into that lie.

You might want to do some more reading? The Revolution was fomented in part by conscription during WW1 and large casualties.  Lenin was in part supported by Germany to hurt the Russian war effort. The disgruntlement of the Russian people over the war and the draft helped the revolution immensely

And my comment about seeing another revolution was in relation to deposition of the current government by people not happy about war and conscription, not support of Bolshevism. Revolutions against absolute rulers have produced good countries. You might be familiar with one.

Fair enough, however, regardless the outcome, history clearly shows that one good way to get deposed is to piss off your people a lot.

Absolutely. I think the state wins this round; they’ve perfected squashing dissent for 20 years. Much more practice than the original Nazis.

But these bodies won’t last long and round 2 or 3 of mobilization will be more of a test.

Are there any bets on where they get the supplies for "300k" soldiers?

I mean, those are gonna come from the general population and store shelves at this point.

Partly the UKA fought them back to the actual Russian border.  And partly its a ploy in combination with referendum votes in the donbas to extend the nuclear threat into Ukrainian territory. If the referendum "votes" go Russia's way the occupied donbas becomes Russian territory and can be defended with nukes.

It's bullshit, but that might not matter.

View Quote

Mixed info - before Kiev said no winter warfare, now winter warfare is on the table. Russia could get some of this 300,000 in October or Christmas but currently Ukraine Chas made no major gains since their big offensive rolled back Russia. For some odd reason they’re not focused on Lyman but they did make a bridgehead in the north east that could give them momentum for the rest of this month if they can exploit it and puts Luhansk at risk. But zero for Kherson or Zap oblasts. Russia spinning its wheels inching around Bakhmut. I think Moscow can’t or won’t do shit offensively until these 300,000 are mobilized. So Ukraine has at least 3 weeks to capitalize if they can. It’s possible they took enough casualties in Kherson that they may have to focus on the east? For Kherson offensive info watch this video to see it’s largely stalled now

mobing a company of nasty girls from orders to the field in 3 weeks would be impressive for us.  Granted we tend to like to have them have zero'd weapons and actual gear....and God forbid they aren't current on SHARP or have drivers licences.
