Wait are you claiming the because Ukraine controls 50% that the 50% that voted in the referendum are illegitimate I don't think that's how elections work when seating territory for your own political gain bear mind though that 100% participation was probably forced with ballots probably added in through bribery to election organizer officials at the end to make the results seem for Russia would be a better argument than they hold 50% so how could it be legitimate only an idiot thinks that way think smarter TDLR

So, any of these regions with an ethnic minority-majority can just hold a referendum to leave Russia, right?

What happens if you give men, who have no reason to fight, are forced into service, threatened, bullied, trampled upon, weapons and ammunition? Will they really want to fight the Ukrainians, whom they have no quarrell with – or the russian military who have sent them there against their will?

One thing I haven't seen anywhere from the MSM in their overhype of mobilization is the potential economic impact to Russia. For example, in Russia there are about 6.2 million micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in Russia, most of them being micro-firms (41%) and individual entrepreneurs (55 %). They account for approximately 20% of Russia's GDP and employ over 25 million Russians. This mobilization will gut 80 – 90 percentage of these businesses and further reduce Russia's GDP by a far greater degree vs. Sanctions from the West. But when you're looking at a Dictator like Putin he doesn't care or what I think he ain't that smart. As I mentioned before, win or lose Putin's Russia is toast!
@xanmiddents6207
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
I also don't think much of Russia's nuclean brinkmanship. The Ukrainians have been attacking Crimea this whole time, which they also consider technically part of Russia.
@xanmiddents6207
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
I don't think hundreds of thousands of highly unmotivated, poorly equipped, poorly trained, and barely led (officer core shortages) men will be much of anything other than a liability and a tragedy. We've seen problems with units like these in the initial stages of the Kharkiv offensive when DPR forces allowed the initial breakthough of Ukrainians.

Lets also be claer that these Referendums are illegitimate EVEN IF all areas were occupied AND everyone who had lived their previously were able to partispate AND if their were no threat of violence. Because the very ACT of incorporating territory taken in a war of aggression is ILLEGAL. And lastly the so called results that Russia reports are not worth the paper they are written on.

To be entirely honest the 300k troops will mean absolutely nothing to the war effort or might even be a detriment to Russia. Russia's biggest problem right now is equipment and munitions shortages and morale. These new conscripts will have the same morale (I have seen the videos of the staging areas for the mobilization and they look like third world shitholes or worse) and they will still be so woefully under-supplied. In fact they will be spreading the supplies around more people and thus making the supply problem potentially worse.

I'm not a social justice warrior and I don't see so-called racism everywhere. However, Imperial Russia into the Soviet Union into the Russian federation has always been racist AF. The Russians have always treated the minorities as crap. Even in the midst of communist fervor, there was a core of Russian imperialism.
@chongxina8288

Kind of a dumb plan to be honest. His plans all hinge on everyone being scared of Russia and their threats. Unfortunately that’s not how people work.

The west supports Ukranine not of any love or admiration. They couldnt care less about Ukraine. But if they let Putin win they will be humiliated. And China will be emboldened and encouraged with its own Taiwan ambitions. Thats all it about. Everyone’s selfish goals.

This was hamper, rather than help him. Running bodies into a meat grinder ad nauseam will fail when the people realize that that is YOUR PLAN. You don't have adequate guns, ammo, armor, modern helmets, cold winter uniforms, medkits, etc. Nobody should even be in a support role 15M away without those things, let alone on the front!
@yafethtb
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
Well, at least we can see China is holding their words about not interfering other countries' domestic issues. As they said, the recipe of world peace is not interrupting other countries' sovereignty. Hopefully they can hold that words forever.

It didn't take months. They get one day refresher, then it is straight to the front line. 48 hours from house to front-line, and another 48 hours until they are ended. Life to death in 96 hours.

So Putin actions mobilization, but says that it isn't a war. 😂

@richardbell7678
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
The reason for Putin's 'Anschluss' of the occupied regions of Ukraine is perfectly simple– none of the men that are being mobilized can be sent outside of the Russian Federation, without a formal declaration of war. That he can also employ nuclear weapons in defense of the Russian Federation is of lesser importance. A vitally important aspect of Putin's goals is going back to selling stuff to the world, at large and the use of nuclear weapons may make it difficult for a return to normal economic relationships with the world.

@Grant80
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
Firstly he never threatened nukes. He stated Russia has more effective weapons to use. The numbers of ppl refusing service is only smalll considering Russia has one of the largest forces to use.

Lol. 4 days from being at home good to bombarded by western howitzers. The new 300000 are just "bullet meat", and i liked the post of "'we are not a meat!' – 'yeah you are fucking vegetables'"
@supermaximglitchy1
February 25, 2024 at 10:32 am
mobilisation is more effective in defence
during WW1 belgium used mobilisation to defend their land pretty good given it’s size (even king Albert himself fought in the war)
WW2 didn’t go as well but Germany was more advanced and Belgium just didn’t want a repeat
putin should follow his mobilisation at the front line (and die) to give more morality to his troops
since a small country did good enough against a big country, a giant country should go very well against a smaller one. go on putin, fight for your “putinland” you coward!

I'm sorry but if you don't think its going exactly as he planned then you are a fool. Putin hasn't had control of Russia for as long as he has because he is stupid. wake up and realise you are being played.

Насколько глупым может быть менеджер?
Слышал сегодня выступление маленького Путина и то, что он говорит, абсолютно глупо, все это. Он лжет собственным гражданам и пытается создать нарратив, не имеющий ничего общего с реальностью. Десятки тысяч молодых россиян бежали. Путин получает настоящую трепку на востоке Украины, но все прошло по плану. Украсть земли у соседней страны и назвать их своими? никто, конечно, не принимает. Взорвать трубопроводы и обвинить других. Когда русские очнутся и что-то с этим сделают – наверное, большинству уже надоел неумелый лидер, психически больной и оторванный от реальности. Санкции ужесточаются и все сильно ударит по народу. Не говоря уже о тех, кто умер и умрет. Все, конечно, вернется в Украину, как было до 2014 года. В этом нет сомнений

I think there's another factor, that a lot of people are missing. The more troops Russia is sending against the Ukrains, the more experiences these Ukraine Soldiers get. It's like stacking Levels in CoD.

объявить себя полным поражением и искать гроб. Смерть придет так внезапно. Пусть Путин даст себе медаль за уничтожение России и уничтожение будущего своих фашистских граждан. Все хорошее заканчивается. Насмешкой являются регионы, которые преемник Гитлера объявил частью фашистской Российской Федерации. Они никогда не будут частью фашистской Российской Федерации. Украинские герои уничтожат всех агрессоров из фашистской Российской Федерации. Каждый человек, независимо от того, из какой он страны, поддерживает защитников Украины. Террористам, убийцам, насильникам и военным преступникам Российской фашистской федерации никогда не найти покоя. Мы все поддерживаем армию защитников Украины. Слава Украине.
