Last week, the Russian Parliament passed a legislation raising the maximum conscription age by 3 years, signalling potential preparations for a long war and second mobilisation. In this video, we take a look the history of conscription, whether a second mobilisation is possible, and what this means for Ukraine.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

He needs to synergise and modernise quality in strategy, tactics and battle/operational procedures. He has to use his existing arsenal more efficiently and lethally. Quantity does not matter anymore. He has to train and act conventionally and not through irregular special operations. He has to improve lethality matricing in combat.

February 18, 2024 at 5:55 am
Nah, there is a non-stop mobilization in Ukraine, people are just being grabbed on the streets of Odessa and sent to the front without any training, but the Western flora is interested in the 2nd wave of mobilization in Russia that has NOT EVEN BEGUN. And even if it does, it will immediately lead to the collapse of the economy. Funny.

If Putin thinks the United States is going to just “lose interest” and stop helping Ukraine he’s delusional… we fight 20 year unpopular wars with our own soldiers against a population that doesn’t even want us there…. think we aren’t prepared to help a population that actually wants our help in a war against a regime we view is a major threat to world stability for decades..????
Like just find an off ramp and take it my guy… cause even if Putin’s troops manage to achieve a breakthrough and occupy more large portions of Ukraine, we are just gonna support a guerrilla resistance until full liberation… so just stop ok 🤷🏽♂️

I was not aware that they stopped mobilizing since Summer 2022.

Ukraine should be worried. But so dhould west. Russia right now are building factories, hiring manpower, producing weapons at an alarming rate. if West does not replicate, Russia will soon have very large amounts of standing armies and might try their hands at fighting west after it is done with Ukraine or fail in Ukraine.

Russia doesnt have the financial resources for a long war, once the reserves run dry the real domestic problems within Russia will start.

We've had first mobilisation yes… but what about second mobilisation?

The mobilisation of Russian conscripts has never stopped. As the Russian military is having major supply problems, Russian conscripts are forced to buy their own uniforms, food, water, medical supplies and ammunition. Yes, Russia is making its own conscripts pay for ammunition. The Russian military is also shooting anyone who refuses to advance or retreat from battle regardless of how bad their situation is. Currently, around 80% of Russian troops are conscripts who have had no military training.

That sponsor segway is misleading and frankly pathetic.
Brilliant won't in any way make you better at resisting propaganda, if you're not already approaching all news with a sense of analytical scepticism.

Most likely. Everyone from the first mobilization is KIA, MIA, wounded or captured.

Without the backbone of competent non-commisioned officers, the Russian army can throw as many conscripts into the war as they want. They won't be an effective fighting force.
