    I can only imagine the excitement some on this board must be feeling upon hearing this news. You can help! No longer are you restricted to venting your dissatisfaction online, you can now help in the field securing the Victory that your new Motherland desires to bring about that Multipolar World Order.

    I assume that it's going to be quiet on the board after this statement, but it's for the greater good. Do not hesitate sign up now!

    Bytheway has anyway seen Gaz lately? Or is he already on route to Wellington Airport?

    Bless you all!

    Unlike you, I do not hold allegiance to the geopolitics and policies of globohomo. I am a patriot to what is left of the American republic. You and fellow antichrist bootlickers and haters of nation states can **** off. You have been exposed as a tool of wickedness. You are serving the transnational elites. You are a patriot to no people or nation. As a nationalist I will support those resisting the unipolar, godless dinosaur that has all but destroyed my once God blessed nation.

    So lets add the things.
    1. recognition of the referendum outcome, which is actually obvious,
    2. partial mobilization that will involve the active reserve only,
    3. mobilization of the industry and switching it to full swing status, with the governmental guarantees for all the needed resources,
    4. bringing the financial&social benefits of newly mobilized to the level of a contract soldiers, that includes the republican militia and other volunteer units,
    5. open warning towards warmongers who are talking about nuclear weapon,
    6. assurance of territorial integrity of the whole Russian Federation, including new territories.
    Did I miss something?

    ⚡Defence Minister Shoigu Breaks Down Military Mobilization

    📍300,000 reservists will be called up - roughly 1% of the mobilisation resource available
    📍70 military and 200+ civilian satellites, entire NATO alliance, working in the interests of Kiev
    📍Ukraine mobilised nearly 300,000 people - but has lost almost half its army
    📍Def Min says Russia has lost 5,937 personnel since start of operation
    📍Conscription will not impact students - only those within reserve army or with required expertise or experience

    25 millions are all the able bodied russian male citizens aged between 18 and 40 that already completed their mandatory military service, or what?

    Putin and Shoigu finally did the right thing! Now it's time to execute it properly on the battlefield and wipe out these bandarists once and for all and take back lands that rightfully belong to Greater Russia.

    All former conscripts and all reserve officers (the bulk of which are actually people who were trained as reserve officers in university but didn't serve)
    So all reservists in total.

    Out of them - 300,000
    They're probably looking for various specialists they have a deficiency of (medics maybe, perhaps drivers, artillery men), maybe some grunts, and some logistics or other workers so that they can free up contract servicemen who serve in Russia for combat duties.

    I know i can not do anything about this.

    But as an Western EU guy, i can not express my deep shame enough about the brainwashed mob and corrupt, downright insane politicians that want to see the world burn.
    no matter how much blood is shed, suffering is caused and damage is done.

    This western fueled insanity has to end.
    It is going to cost lives of good people serving as troops. that have own family's back home.
    just like it already has for Both Russia and the DPR/LPR.

    But there is no political solution here, only the total defeat of Ukraine and making sure the Nazi's never come back.
    No other solution works, leave an partial Ukraine. And it will again be filled by NATO with weapons and Nazi's.
    Repeating the entire cycle again.

    it is easy for me to say, since i am here behind an keyboard and not having to go to fight there.
    To go out there into full-scale war and all the risks it has.
    I do not take these events of necessary escalation lightly.
    I know the price of war.

    My thoughts are with the Russian people, its serving men and women, the people living in the RF controlled area's and their own troops fighting.
    They have my full support, whatever is going to happen.

    Also,

    Shoigu's interview about Ukraine and the Mobilization

    Not going to rub it on the dimwitts cause they're a lost cause and they know they're clowns deep inside so when they lash out at folks firing the correct criticisms at the Kremlin it's just a reflection of their condition.

    With that said, there is nothing to celebrate. This just highlights the failure of Plan A/B/C or whatever shit they hoped to accomplish with this limited operation of theirs... 8 years ago I was literally spelling this out. How their main enemies studied their Georgia operation - you can't be predictable in a situation like this of this importance. The biggest failure of the Kremlin boys is continuing to underestimate the resolve of it's main geopolitical enemies (U.S/UK). There is no accommodation to be had, it's either Russia's prosperity or theirs. That's how the anglo's, and western empires of the past have always viewed/treated their enemies - and that's how, under whichever banner, Spanish, French, Italian (Roman), Greek or German it will always be.

    This is all fine and dandy but still.... if decision making centers don't start to go up in flames and if we don't see within the next month or two a severe, and I mean severe reduction in the size of the political/military leadership of Ukraine this will continue to be a protracted conflict for no god damn reason. Cut the heads of the snake and trust that when the heads of those high up start rolling on the floor you'll see a massive drastic change in the ability of Ukraine to resist....Big leadership loss is hardly, if ever, easily replaced - not to mention it creates panic, backstabbing and an infinite number of other side-effects. You gotta play hard and dirty like everybody else, and get in the mud. To think you're above the expediency of this is criminal hubris, which the Kremlin boys have been practicing for way too long at the cost of Russia's positioning in the world itself.

    What I am wondering in all this though is that what will be of all the volunteers?

    Would it now be best to integrate the volunteers and the Rosgvardi training facility in Chechnya and do things that way? Maybe Cossack units too? Or you think they will just continue to allow volunteers as well and just fall under a different command?

    I can express in other words what I heard today:
    1. Any of us Russians on this forum can suddenly disappear from here, perhaps forever.
    2. Taking into account the announced ~6000 losses since the beginning of the military operation, the mobilization of 300,000 additional personnel means that in the next 6 months we can expect another ~ 18,000 killed Russian citizens in the war.
    3. I still don't see the children of the Russian "elites" on the battlefield - will the mobilization affect them?
    4. This war cannot be won without a complete consolidation of power and society around a single goal. I DON'T see this process now. The authorities continue to think that it is possible to throw the lives of Russian citizens into the furnace of war without doing anything to change the social structure of the country.

    So I have no unnecessary illusions: so far, much suggests that Russia is strategically losing in this confrontation. If we do not have real allies who will help us in this confrontation, and not hide fearfully, not daring to confront the collective West, then Russia will most likely be completely drained of blood after a few years of this conflict. I hope I'm wrong, but this is my feeling right now.



    It's time to prepare for war for me.

    This is the same BS propaganda that NATzO pulled in the 1990s against Serbs. Dead KLA that Serb forces bothered

    NATzO is not going to get far against Russia with this shit.

    Well you seem to be making a huge drama out of a partial mobilization. Do you have special military abilities?
