Quoted: Conscripting hundreds of thousands to feed into the western meat grinder didn't work well for Nicholas II. Perhaps history will repeat itself and we'll see another Russian revolution View Quote |

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. Pootypoo just claimed it was good old fashioned Nazi... Yellow cake free story for pootypoo. |

View Quote 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. |

Quoted: I gotta believe a former KGB guy has those bases covered. He'll have true believers on the buttons, and other true believers standing behind them with pistols. China is going to "liberate" big chunks of Russia at some point. I'm thinking the parts that have food and energy. View Quote The kgb guy who said Ukrainians would welcome them from their oppressors with open arms? How did that work out? |

This will be a test of Putin's control over the Russian masses.

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

Quoted: This will be a test of Putin's control over the Russian masses. View Quote 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. I really dont think pootypoo has thought this thing through. (Does he ever?) Puttin = slightly more commie LBJ I estimate no less than 10k ruskies die from the cold because of this chowderhead. |

Quoted: Setting up for a Spring Offensive? 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 "All in!" The Ukrainian Offensives in Cherson and Charkiv |

Quoted: Do we even know if these troops have or have not had ANY training? So much of what goes on there is unknown. It wouldn't surprise me if they have. Numbers do mean something. If I was Ukraine I'd be shitting my pants. View Quote Yeah former military service, supposedly Syria/Libya/Chechen war vets are being tapped first |

Quoted: I mean if 3 mobilized guys show up advance party then on paper 3 weeks criteria has been met. 300,000 is highly doubtful but in between? 10,000? 33,000? We'll find out View Quote Russia probably doesn't trifle over such details. |

I would still use their troops against the Chinese triad today. It's only good business. Something some other people aren't doing. Fucking rookies. |
