Putins next military draft

Putin is about to sign into law a new military draft requiring ALL Russian men of fighting age to sign up for military service so that they may serve in the Ukraine meat grinder. Putin is making sure there is no way for Russian men to avoid military service as he seeks to achieve his dream of obliterating Ukraine from the face of this earth.
Hopefully all the Patriotic Putin fan boys from SW will be enthusiastic enough to sign up and support Comrade Putin.

Thinking that there will be an oversupply of single Russian women looking for love on online dating sites due to the lack of Russian men.

It’s not a bad strategy and it may just carry the day. Ukraine absorbed round two but sent it reeling. The leeks establish how depleted Ukraine is.

The math doesn’t work for Ukraine given the sheer difference in population and Putin finding markets for the oil.

American will give up on Ukraine.

I’d go all in, myself. Risk it all.

That being said, Russia will never be able to hold Ukraine absent a puppet government. That’s the goal.

@Human1000 As the man said: Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

russia thought it had the second-best army in the world. Turns out all they have is the second-best army in Ukraine

@newjaninev2 It pains me to think what NATO could do to Russian forces in Ukraine.

@Human1000 it would certainly be an object lesson the russians would never forget

russia should be careful about trying to restore its former borders.

@newjaninev2 Where is Genghis Khan when you need him.

@Human1000 The russians were under the Mongol Yoke for 300 years, and that included the European Enlightenment, in which russia did not participate. Personally (yup, just me) I think that left a russia-Europe disconnection that persists to this day.

Just a thought

@Human1000 The russians may well learn that Jinping Xi will be their modern-day Genghis Khan

@newjaninev2 Interesting theory! They would flirt with being European (Catherine/Peter) but not go all the way.

The Russian Civil war didn’t help, but not sure there were options other than supporting the Whites.
