@GeromanAT tweets: MOD Reports: 280 new units have been formed from the 300,000 mobilized last Autumn. It is described as the largest such call up in Russia’s history since WW2.
Some thoughts on this, as an often asked question in chat has been, “where are the mobilized men?” At this point I think the answer is clear: they have been training and working behind the line of contact. That is, Russia did not simply scoop up 300,000 men and throw them to the front as Ukraine has been doing some 7+ times now, but actually formed an entirely new, professional Army with them It’s worth noting that the size of the entire U.S. Marine Corps is around 180,000 in total (including admin, clerical, maintenance, etc). This is yet another sign that Russia is in no hurry and is quite comfortable taking the time to properly re-train and equip these men and form new units proper.
It should also be noted that this new army is cohesive. Same uniform, same training, same language, same communication, same doctrine – and a training regimen born from experience in the SVO. Meanwhile Ukrainian units are being trained in multiple countries by different instructors with multiple incongruent programs, doctrines, and kit. Ukraine itself is aware of this problem, which is why they have allocated Leopard tanks to one unit and Bradley IFVs to another and so forth, instead of mixing them up across the board.
The problem for Ukraine nonetheless remains: a lack of consistency in doctrine and kit across units. There is no “universality” in such, and as such, Schroedinger’s Offensive remains in the box because these units cannot effectively coordinate together. Meanwhile, Russia now has a second modernized and cohesive Army formed in addition to the small portion of it’s existing Army already dedicated to the SVO. Where and how this new Army will be employed (defense in depth, counter offensive operations??) I can not say. But that MOD now makes this statement inclines me to believe the mobilized Army is increasingly ready for work.

Bravo Colonel – my own sources confirm your assessment. Sun Tzu says: “If your opponent is [weak] and temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.” And you can’t get much more arrogant than the Biden misfits. The Chinese are using the same strategy over Taiwan – Patience is a Virtue, “(a phrase believed to have originated from the poem “Piers Plowman,” written in 136O by English poet William Langland)”
The only reason this has dragged on for so long is oligarchs on both sides of the conflict are getting rich off the billions we send to Ukraine.
Ussa is crumbling, maybe better said to be rotting. Europa is deindustrialized toast and the demilitarization of the combined west is proceeding at a rapid clip.
Russia will not lose much of it’s population, they can define a woman.
Amelika, like the ravaging of ancient Rome, is swarming with invaders, welcoming roving bands of marauders with many more on the way.
God is great, Jesus is the way to the light.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
The USSA government lied? Not possible.
[looks suspiciously at WWII history books]
The goal was to weaken and destabilize Russia to the point where they would be unable to prevent being raided and stripped of their vast supply of natural resources. Ukraine was nothing more than a speed bump on the road to that goal.
Had ANY of it been REAL ?
That Stiletto Prancin’ Fairy would have been Removed, by any number of methods, Looooong Ago.
Wake Auntie when Odessa is liberated and Kiev is encircled.
Otherwise this fratricidal shit-show goes on because of tech/computer innovations in ISR and the use of drones ( all with Unkle Shmuel’s assistance and blessings.)
But since Diversity Is Our Strength, the Russians have no hope.
Right?
Also, would airdropping monkeypox infected Pride Parades into Russia be considered biological warfare? Asking for the State Department.
The only part of this that sucks is the loss of Ukrainian lifes, or the us would get out of the way a treaty would be done long ago. The destruction of the west only sucks cause I live in the USSR, and don’t have much hope the pooper in chief can do anything but make things worse
