Ukraine, Belarus and Poland is where the conventional phase of WWIII will be fought before going nuclear. That’s where they will end up if called from reserve. Since DC categorically refuses to allow the Ukes to negotiate peace, while our “leaders” stand on the Russian border and scream Moscow regime change, Putin has them in reserve for the coming NATO escalations. You might want to check with those 400,000 dead Ukes. I’m sure they’d love to correct your simple, boorish opinion on the capabilities of the Russian Army. The Russian “mental defectives” would have no chance against our fat, woke, prancing rainbow warrior led US military.

He already mobilized 300,000 in a couple of months last year. Other than some specialty units, that mobilization is sitting in Russia in reserve. The mobilizing is also continuing.

Biden’s War Room is scarier and just as dangerous as Merkin Muffley’s.

I assume all of the troops that were mobilized are in Ukraine right now. They are replacing the troops that were KIA during the opening days of the invasion.

I doubt that Putin has that many troops in reserves.

Putin is not going to do a total mobilization because he'll lose support from the elite that backs him in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

One of the liabilities of propaganda is believing your own. The Nazis were a prime example. They could never have defeated Russia, much less the US and the UK as well. They were f***ing idiots who bought their own propaganda.

According to this source, 420,000 soldiers have been mobilized to Ukraine.

Interesting that the article pointed out that they're not going to bother to do recruiting in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Just wondering, how many of those artillery rounds will actually work as advertised?

Given the usual quality standards there. 20%? 80%?

Russia, in fact, is now producing more ammunition than the US and Europe,
———-

That simply can not be true, Biden’s war cheerleaders and western MSM have assured us Vlad is very close to running out of ammunition, any day now….

Fact is Vlad is on record as stating he has stockpiled 30 months of ammunition for a war with NATO, ( not Ukraine)…..add to that his five ( some say seven) ammunition manufacturing plants have been running 24/7 for two years.

Bodes not well for Ukraine ( as we have been witnessing) and NATO should they do something really, really, really stupid.

Then they have to get them to the front, not an easy task even in Russia proper, then when whatever ammo gets to the front have to hope ammo depot does not get hit and then joe that the truck or Scooby-Doo van does not get droned abs finally that the artillery piece it was sent to resupply is not a smoking hole , keep this d-30s and 20s as well as IS-2s coming. Sure Ivan conscriptavich will be happy to charge the front gloriously with his nagant for the motherland and czar Putin

Which is yet another reason why the US needs to get out of NATO. Europe has made its choice. Now let them either live with it, or fix it. It’s not 1945 anymore. It’s no longer our circus.

Apparently there's an old saying about NATO, which I only recently heard:

NATO was created to keep Germany down, American in, and Russia out.

300,000 drunk, borscht smelling, mental defectives are not taking over anything.

————

They already have, Crimea and five ethnic Russian provinces. Hint: he is not giving them up, ever….and there is nothing the collective West can do about it.
Such a shame, the senile, corrupted war cheerleader sitting in the White House miscalculated.

The Russian Federation is not the Soviet Russia of old, and America is most certainly not America of old.

I dunno if Putin is able to mobilize that many men
—————-
Your first mistake, “ I dunno”, fact is he already has, by Duma ( Congressional) decree. Vlad is much like Trump, he does what he says, and enjoys huge support….

Your leader senile Joe can’t count backwards from ten, while Vlad has been playing Chess for years.

I suspect you haven’t seen the live video of Vlads ammo trains running through Belgrade, two to three five kilometers long, seven days a week…you are a victim of western MSM’s omissions and lies.

Vlad moves his ammunition in tons by rail, the Ukies for some time now move their dwindling supplies by civilian pick up trucks…..they ran out of proper heavy military trucks long ago.

I subscribed to him also and find him fascinating. I also wonder if he is some kind of spy.

Judging by the amount of western equipment being destroyed, they are fine. Just one look at all the hundreds of video shows every. single. Ukie. movement looking like the moon’s surface……hundreds upon hundreds of craters….not to mention entire cities, large and small, reduced to rubble….that my friend is the power of Artillery, the King of Battle.

19000 155 mm unitary shells a month in the U.S. 19000 / 20 = 950 per work day at no overtime. If they are working 24/7 it is worse at 19000 / 30 = 633 per day.

How about a couple thousand Tomahawk missiles? How would they do against them? A couple of second string missiles from the UK did significant damage to the Russian fleet. Imagine what the first team would do.

The Russian army sucked thirty years ago. It hasn’t gotten any better.
