gregorum , to world in Zelensky: Military proposed to mobilize 450,000-500,000 soldiers

Do they have that many soldiers to mobilize?

They have about half that currently in the reserves.

Hitler youth like programmes, getting deeper and deeper into Nazism.

Love it!

I don’t think NATO members were ever at risk, especially now we know how ineffective the Russian military is in modern warfare

someguy3 OP ,

I think Putin wants the Baltics and hopes the other countries won’t go to war over them.

Maalus ,

Why stop at the Baltics?

Everythingispenguins ,

Yep they are exactly where he is going to start. It fixes the pesky problem of the Kaliningrad Oblast and improves Russian cold weather port access.

FreeFacts ,

Worthless ports as not a single ship bound to russia will ever get through the Danish straits again if they invade the baltics.

Everythingispenguins ,

So? As if that stopped Putin in the black sea

They saw in 2014 that the international community will just ignore a fucking invasion if they simply remove the insignia from their uniforms and pretend Russia has nothing to do with it. Phew, thank God this invasion happening in plain view is just some big misunderstanding and we don’t actually have to go help our ally defend themselves from unprovoked expansionist agression

Talk about conflict avoiding behavior.

DarkThoughts ,

Doesn't matter when he threatens to nuke you if you fight back. He's banking on using nuclear deterrence offensively, hoping that neither the UK nor France would really risk mutual destruction over some eastern European states. And the US is probably gonna elect Trump again and solidify their downfall.

One little question nobody here has asked himself:

How do YOU know that that’s true? Can you verify this information for youself? Could the source have any incentive to lie? Have you read any response about this from the other side?

Custodian1623 ,

I think you have a point in that it’s very possible government sources are exaggerating about this - I’m not too invested in what the invaders have to say about it though.

They already do this in Ukraine, fwiw

They have since before this conflict too apnews.com/…/880ff094ac3a4e699e95f7b45b6dd5e6 (bonus points for seeing how AP talked about Azov pre-2021)

Kinda get the feeling their education will be mostly OJT.

Hopefully the kids will be smart enough to surrender. Sending them to their deaths is definitely a new low for Putin… Ukrainian defenders forced to open fire on invaders who are children is pretty fucked, too.

damnthefilibuster , to worldnews in [Poland PM] Tusk: Time of peace in EU is over, we live in pre-war times

Poland would know.

I wondered how long it would be before we saw child soldiers out of ruzzia. :-(

It'll be painful for Ukraine, but so will the war dragging on. The sooner Ukraine can end it, the better for Ukraine.
