Some initial thoughts on Russia’s partial mobilization:
First and foremost, this represents a new phase in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, namely the fact that Russia is fighting the NATO alliance as opposed to just Ukraine.
To respond to this threat, Russia is creating a new reality of its own, namely to transition from a fight that had Russia working with allies and operating on foreign soil, to Russia defending the motherland. The partial mobilization is being conducted in parallel with political referendums that will see the Donbas and other Ukrainian territory be absorbed into the Russian federation.
This absorption will fundamentally alter the legal foundations of the conflict. While the referendums currently being considered only impact lands under current Russian occupation, Putin spoke of the need to free all of “Novo Rossiya” from the yoke of Ukrainian tyranny.
I believe the absorption of Ukrainian territory will be expanded at some point to include Odessa and Kharkov.
The mobilization of 300,000 men, as well as the announced goal of bringing all other units up to the standards of the Russian army, will not happen overnight. Russia will be forming new units, and this takes time.
I believe we will see a strategic pause while Russia completes its partial mobilization. This pause will be marked by heavy fighting as Ukraine will seek to disrupt the referendums and alter the geography of the battlefield. But once Russia consolidates the new territory politically, and accrues the necessary military capacity, I believe we are looking at the physical destruction of the Ukrainian nation as the endgame for this conflict.
I also believe there is nothing NATO can do to alter this reality.
More to follow.
I’m coming to the realization that Putin wants Biden to declare martial law in the U.S.
Under martial law, the Democrats’ plan to destroy us will be moving at full-speed-ahead.
“Ukraine has already lost half of its army, 61,207 are dead and 49,368 wounded - Russian Defense Minister Shoigu. UPDATE: Russian losses stand at 5,937 dead.”
Ludicrous! Laughable!
Katya, your propaganda is showing.
“I’m coming to the realization that Putin wants Biden to declare martial law in the U.S.”
You can’t be serious.
No question he’s insane.
As a very broad statement about the current state of our world —
I don’t personally deal very well with arbitrary and changing rules. This has been evident with COVID restrictions and with the multi-level justice system now in place in the US.
But we see it also in things like NATO. The basic NATO agreement: if one NATO member is attacked, the rest of NATO will join together to respond. Example: If the USSR invades West Germany, all of NATO will go to war against the USSR. That’s the core concept.
Today’s situation: Did Russia attack Ukraine? Yes. Is Ukraine part of NATO? No.
So it turns out that NATO is not about defending NATO members — its really just an aggressive military alliance aimed at weakening Russia.
We tell ourselves that we are the Good Guys, but we’re jumping into a war with a nuclear power. That’s not good.

WORLD AT WAR 3.0: According to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who says (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5217) globe may be mere MONTHS away from MAJOR CONFLICT bigger than ANYTHING since WW2, slamming UN as POWERLESS to help, claiming intergovernmental organization PRACTICALLY DESTROYED by “great powers”, as Putin declares partial MOBILIZATION (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5237), and Donbass region set (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5222) to become part of Russia, Vucic’s warnings cast DARK SHADOW over Europe and Western world, already SUFFERING from economic BACKLASH (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/3825) of anti-Russia sanctions.

⚡️We cannot, we have no moral right to give people close to us to be torn to pieces by the executioner. We cannot fail to respond to their sincere desire to determine their own destiny.”
Vladimir Putin promised to provide safe conditions for holding referendums in the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson region:
“We know that the majority of people living in the territories liberated from neo-Nazis, and this is primarily the historical lands of Novorossia, do not want to be under the yoke of the neo-Nazi regime. In Zaporozhye, in the Kherson region, in Lugansk and Donetsk, they have seen and are seeing the atrocities that neo-Nazis are doing in the occupied areas of the Kharkov region.
The heirs of Bandera and Nazi punishers kill people, torture them, throw them in prison, settle scores and mock civilians.”
Next time could you please paraphrase this thinking and put your own thoughts in, instead of relying on the pedophile. That makes a more persuasive argument.
I should have said, instead of quoting directly from the pedophile.
🇷🇺❗️Putin warned those who carry out nuclear blackmail against the Russian Federation that the wind could turn in their direction.
Washington is pushing Kyiv to transfer hostilities to the territory of the Russian Federation, nuclear blackmail has been used ..
When its territorial integrity is threatened, Russia uses all available means, this is not a bluff
Intel Slava:
🇷🇺⚡️Russian TV channels are now showing an interview with Russian Defense Minister Shoigu.
He said that “Russia is at war with the collective West,” since Ukraine itself “has long since run out of weapons.”
“So it turns out that NATO is not about defending NATO members — its really just an aggressive military alliance aimed at weakening Russia.”
No, it’s about stopping the threat BEFORE a NATO member is attacked.
Sounds like a speech that Adolph Hitler could have made.
Katya doesn’t have an independent thought: She just vomits out what her handlers tell her.
What nuclear blackmail? The only country that has been threatening using nukes is Russia. The only country that has placed its nuclear forces on high alert is Russia, and it did that the first week of the invasion!
