If confirmed, the mobilization would risk a repeat of the unrest caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to press 300,000 Russians into service this fall.

Russian Propaganda lies.
NATO Propaganda lies.

It’s worthless trying guess what the truth out there really is.

“Ukraine intelligence”?
The CIA or they just made it up to steal even more billions from America?

Begs curiosity over how the regional/national economy functions with 500k reservists pulled in for duty.

“It’s worthless trying guess what the truth out there really is.”

You do know that sources exist beyond the media right?

Not sure how they'll do that. This isn't the Soviet Union. If Putin goes too far, he'll get gunned down just like the Romanovs did during the Russian Revolution.

If its US mainstream media and Fed.gov - I know its all lies.

There's a few people who take an opposing view - but they don't have many facts either.

Its just their way of getting Biden to cough up 500 billion dollars. Which he will, after realizing the Biden Crime Family kickback of 10% would 50 billion.

Hope it is rumors and not fact. My brother-in-law will probably be called up this time if this turns out to be true. :(

Just prep for when the Russians start to win so big that the Baghdad Bobs in the Propaganda dept. of the CIA, can’t lie anymore. “They had too many men.” is going to be the mantra. When see see Putin walking around in the Ukraine offices in Kiev—it will be hard to say Ukraine is winning. The new plee will be “Humanitarian aid?”

“Call up”.

But how many will run away?

The partial mobilization of 300k didn’t get anywhere near that number, this new call up will be even worse.

Russians do not want this war where they are invading a fellow east slavic eastern Orthodox country.

They ought to turn on Putin now
