I watch a terrorist country, continues its economic terror, and for the next round of intimidation of Germany and the EU with tales of a "hard winter", it blew up its gas pipelines Smiley
Well, what can I say ... So much the better - the rest will be less likely to pay a terrorist country Smiley
It turned out that in order to solve the gas issue, in the most gas-dependent terrorist country, Germany, it is enough to launch only 2 terminals for receiving LNG! By the way, the construction of one terminal has already begun, the second one is about to begin.

I see you habitually blame Russia for everything. However, here it is appropriate to ask the question "who benefits?"

Ukraine somehow coped with the task of mobilizing more than 800k civilians, Russia has a simpler task.

Sending thousands of untrained drunks armed with rusty kalashnikovs against HIMARS is indeed quite simple. Not very effective though.
We'll see. So far, it looks more like Russia is increasing its military grouping in Ukraine by at least 2.5 times, due to the mobilization of reservists with military service experience.

Meanwhile, the referenda took place and their result was quite predictable. A special military operation may soon be transformed into an ordinary anti-terrorist operation.

For be.open, and all the people who are currently living inside Russia.

Is the protests against the Russian government's decision for mobilisation true? Is it growing in support? Or is it merely another form of propaganda for the people outside of Russia to believe that something "important" is actually happening?

I can see just one person in the picture, with any protests in the background. Plus she looks "too beautiful" with make up?
There are no mass protests in my small town in the Urals. Every day a new bus leaves the city with mobilized 10-15 people. Based on the dynamics of mobilization, I can assume that much more will be mobilized than the 300 thousand people announced by Putin.

By now you must be aware that the "all powerful and glorious" RF Air Force is unable to do anything in Ukraine. Missiles are ok to destroy nurseries, commercial centres and the like but real military use requires precision not "precision". To put it plainly, the RF cannot raze anything to the ground. There was no option to "bomb" and instead the Junta took the non-decision of sequestering civilians and send them to die.
Bombing with high-explosive bombs was successfully used by Russia, in particular at Azovstal and near Kherson, where there is no threat to defeat civilians.

On regards to "synchronous"... funny that you mention that. The RF is absolutely unable to coordinate the deployment of 300k freshly recruited pretty much demotivated and unready poor bastards. Expect them to arrive late, unequipped, untrained, unmotivated, uncoordinated... This is the perfect recipe to destroy de population growth rate of the RF for the next 10 years.
Ukraine somehow coped with the task of mobilizing more than 800k civilians, Russia has a simpler task.

Yet here you are, still on phase 1 "denial".
I think you are too exalted by the local success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kharkov. Ukraine still has no chance in confrontation with Russia.

Why did Putin not close the borders? Perhaps the damage would have been excessive or perhaps this is designed to send abroad anyone who might actually dissent with the Psychos Junta.
What for? Russia has a multiple greater mobilization resource than Ukraine, it's okay if some people go abroad, it's their choice.

In fact, holding such fake referendums by Russia only plays into the hands of Ukraine. And other countries, such as China. Russia has created a precedent that everyone will now refer to when acting on the territories of Russia. For example, Ukraine thus "legally" in relation to Russia can regain the Kuban, Taganrog and other Ukrainian regions stolen by Russia in the 20th century. China - the primordially Chinese fastened regions of the Trans-Urals ... Then it will be useless for the Russians to squeal, the answer will be simple - come on, it's honest, you YOURSELF ACKNOWLEDGED IT Smiley
The precedent was in Kosovo. Then Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Within a week, I think the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will also become part of Russia. Your fantasies about the Kuban and Taganrog are empty and groundless.


Yes ?  Grin
And tell me - Kosovo became part of the United States? Germany? Here are all the Russians - a lie as the meaning of life, to lie primitively and always, to replace the essence and LIE. Let me remind you once again - it works among Russians, but not among adequate people Smiley
Kosovo left Yugoslavia and became an independent state. But it did not enter the territory of Serbia and by military means, violating the law, it was captured! Montenegro, for example, did not enter Kosovo either and did not capture it, introducing it into its composition with an illegitimate fake pseudo-referendum. Do you feel the difference? I'm sure - you know, but you are habitually lying, habitually trying to justify the crimes of rashism. Nothing, it won't last long Smiley
As a result of the referendum, Kosovo gained independence, using the right of the nation to self-determination, which is one of the clauses of the UN Charter.

In the same UN Charter there is another clause aimed at protecting the territorial integrity of any state. These two points at times and places directly contradict each other. Life, too, is sometimes contradictory, as is this legal conflict.

Meanwhile, summer rumors about deliveries of Shahid-136 kamikaze drones to Russia from Iran turned out to be true. They are called Geran-2 and have recently been actively used to strike at military infrastructure in Ukraine, in particular in Odessa. Drones are slow, loud, cheap (compared to cruise missiles), not homing (working at given coordinates), and yet they seem to be quite effective, Ukrainian air defense cannot do anything with them.

Partial mobilization in Russia is a symmetrical response to mobilization in Ukraine.
Ukraine has been mobilizing since February.
Symmetrical does not mean synchronous.

I do not see the prerequisites for mass mobilization in Russia; professional military personnel are doing their job quite well.

At what point do you realize that you're being fed lies?

Russia has a huge excess of natural resources and the most combat-ready army in the world
Even now I do not consider mobilization in Russia necessary. I think Putin had a choice in response to the mobilization in Ukraine - start mass bombing or increase the size of his group. Personally, I would prefer to raze Kyiv to the ground, but fortunately for you, I do not make decisions on this issue.

What weakness are you talking about? If about the lack of personnel of the participants in the special operation - well, this will be fixed soon. What does Ukraine hope for when it loses its only advantage? The referenda will start tomorrow and end in three days. Ukraine will never return four regions to itself, as well as Crimea.
7 months of ''special operation'' and now Russia announced mobilization third time (After WWI and WWII). Everything is going fine. But why the hell it was needed if according to Russian data they have just about 6000 troops killed? Where are these 200k troops who went to this war initially? You're planning to take Ukraine with quantity, but quality also matters. I think there is big difference between contract army which was prepared for this ''operation'' and conscripts without experience in war and questionable motivation.
You're not doing very well with your future predictions. I hope I don't have to remind about 9th May parade in Kyiv.
Everything is in the same place - they control 20% of the territory of Ukraine (which in a few days, according to the results of the referendum, will become the territory of Russia). Grin

Partial mobilization in Russia is a symmetrical response to mobilization in Ukraine. After the start of the special operation, the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine increased from 200 thousand soldiers to more than a million. In general, the plan to launch an operation with such a small contingent of personnel was a little adventurous, according to Western intelligence, at least 450 thousand people are needed to establish control over the eastern coast of the Dnieper. Russia launched the operation with half the number of soldiers (even counting the LDNR militias).

Somehow surprising, but the second day, pro-Russian propagandists, everywhere and even here, fell silent. What a successful mobilization of "consumables" does! Just a miracle! Now there is no time to write about the greatness of Russia, and about the problems of Germany, now there is only one problem - to hide from the prize in the miserable army of the terrorist country Smiley))) This is the whole of Russia - its "exaggerated" greatness, the same exaggerated "heroism", "strength", "powerful economy" - as soon as a real, even a small problem appears, everything collapses like a house of cards. And what is important - all those who yesterday wanted to turn the United States, the EU and Ukraine into radioactive ashes, and promised to punish and destroy everyone, when they got a real chance to take up arms and go to war for the idiotic goals of the "Kremlin rubber ass" - massively cowardly whined and sleeping under the bed Smiley
What to say? I do not understand how the partial mobilization announced in Russia is connected with firewood in Germany.

If I remain silent for too long, then I have changed the keyboard to a Kalashnikov assault rifle and went on a Ukrainian safari. Grin

A great example of what they call "turn on the fool" Smiley

Most of the carriers of fake Russian propaganda went silent, carrying the themes: "without racist gas, everyone will freeze", "Germans will be heated with firewood", "Europe will end without Russian resources" Smiley And the connection is direct - you need to hide somewhere away from civilization in order not to get a summons to the army Smiley
By the way, I see you have not been called, yet! But there will be a chance, definitely - after all, we know very well that 300 thousand "partial mobilization of one-time Russians" is only a part of the general plan of 1.2 million bodies by the end of 2023 Smiley
To be honest, I will miss you, with your sparkling humor about the greatness of Russia and, of course, about gas and oil Smiley

O.T.:
The riots in Iran follow the patterns from the manual "how to make a color revolution".
That's more like another day in a 50+ year old cold war. Not to mention that color revolutions don't work in post-revolution I.R.I. People have already put aside what they were angry about 5 days ago and are protesting against the rioters (and the real enemy) in the million people march held today all around Iran.
They don't work anywhere. Grin

It seems that the Kremlin has already come to terms with the loss of not only Kherson, but the entire right-bank part of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Approximately 20-25 thousand of the most combat-ready Russian troops are surrounded there and pressed against the Dnieper. Russia cannot replenish this territory with either troops, equipment, or ammunition. Four bridges of probable supply were damaged by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are under constant fire control. As soon as the Russians build pontoon crossings there or try to supply their encircled troops with the help of barges, they are destroyed. With regard to the liberation of this territory in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a completely different tactic than a swift counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region. Here, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are methodically hitting accumulations of manpower and equipment, ammunition depots, and command posts. Those Russians who survive will either surrender, or swim across the Dnieper, or die during the cleansing of the territory.

Mobilization in Russia was introduced precisely because the regular Russian army has already been largely destroyed in Ukraine. Russia has already lost more than 150,000 of its troops in the wounded and killed in Ukraine. The same applies to armored vehicles and artillery. They are already running out in Russia, because they have turned into scrap metal on the territory of Ukraine or have been captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are already firing at Russians. The mobilization of the proclaimed 300,000 Russians from the reserve will not change the situation at the front, since they are not prepared for the war in Ukraine and have virtually no combat experience.
LOL

Today began a referendum on the accession of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to Russia. And of course you are aware of this, so it's hard to say that you are wrong - you are just deliberately lying.

  • 1000+ people arrested in various anti-mobilization protests in Russia. Could this finally turn into real mass protests? Nah, doubtful. But getting arrested at a protest might be a way to avoid dying in Ukraine (probably need to kick a few police officers to make sure to get real criminal charges).
One thousand were arrested, and there were about two thousand protesters in total (mostly girls and students, that is, those who are already exempt from mobilization). This is a shameful fiasco of the opposition in Russia, even in the spring, more than 5 thousand people took to the streets against the start of the special operation, and when Navalny was arrested, there were about 11 thousand protesters. There is no systemic opposition in Russia. I'm not happy about it and I'm not sad, I'm just stating.

There was no existential threat for Russia. There might be now though.  You can put 100% of the blame on Putin for that.  And what is "this"  Russia needs to annex a piece of Ukraine and then what?  You think Ukraine won't continue on the path to joining the EU and eventually NATO?  You think NATO won't continue to be more unified than almost any other point before February?  How about the two countries that joined NATO in direct response to Putins decision to attack Ukraine?  You think the rest of the world will just forget the weaknesses in the Russian military that have been exposed in the last 6 months?  Putin already failed.
What weakness are you talking about? If about the lack of personnel of the participants in the special operation - well, this will be fixed soon.

As for the shelling and bombing of the territory of Ukraine by the Russians, this is happening in full. On the territory of Ukraine, Russia has already fired more than 3,800 missiles, and fires at the civilian population every day and with all types of weapons. Where the Russians pass, 80-90 percent of Ukrainian settlements turn into ruins. Therefore, there is no need to tell fairy tales that the Russians are worried about the peaceful citizens of Ukraine.
I'm not talking about high-precision missiles, but bombing with good old high-explosive bombs. This is a cheap and effective method of suppressing resistance, it was the FAB-500 high-explosive bombs that smoked the Azov militants out of the bunker near Azovstal. With them, Russia successfully stopped the offensive of Ukraine near Kherson. The disadvantage of this method is too much destruction. But of course, this is not a reason to refuse it, if we are talking about the success of the entire special operation.

People in Russia don't have to worry that they won't be able to buy food or pay their electricity and heating bills. Do you really think that I should suffer a lot because I can't go to the IMAX cinema or buy a can of Coca-Cola? This made me laugh too. Grin
What's the meaning of life for you? Just to work, eat, drink vodka and sleep? If that's the purpose of life, then I'd say: If homeless people survive in Russia in winter, then Germans will survive in Germany without gas and electricity. But that's not gonna happen, you know. We weren't 100% dependent on Russia. Maybe the winter will be taught for some, but not Unbearable. But the quality of life will still be much better for the average German than it's now for the average Russian.

Russia is a country that has a lot of resources and still it's pretty poor compared to others. Definitely, there is a problem in your country and among people because it's the biggest country in the world with 145 million people and still it's still poorer than Italy and the quality of life is very low, except Moscow and Saint Petersburg and these two cities don't represent the whole Russia.
Also, I want to mention that Russians are really well-educated compared to other countries but still, the average American gets a higher salary than the smart, hard-working Russian within your country. What does that mean? There is a huge problem deep inside the country and people's mentality.

I think that the problem is that your country invests most of the money in the military, it's also corrupt as fuck with high nepotism. I don't understand what's the point of getting more and more lands, you don't even use most of your lands, so what's the point to invade three countries in the 21st century? It amazes me to see that there are still some people who support Putin.
Russia invaded Ukraine, of course, not at all because it lacks land. And not even in order to protect the Russian-speaking residents of Donbass, although this is stated as one of the main goals of the military special operation. Ukraine relied on anti-Russia in search of its self-identity after the collapse of the USSR, a continuous and growing existential threat has emanated and is emanating from Ukraine for Russia. Look at the emblem of the military intelligence of Ukraine - it depicts a sword stuck in a map of Russia. It is not very pleasant to have such an aggressive neighbor at hand, especially when this neighbor declares a plan to join NATO at the level of his constitution. Why this conversation when you ask about the meaning of life? Moreover, it does not matter what your standard of living is, if you do not have sovereignty, if you are not free. Russia has sovereignty, but Germany does not. Germany is occupied by the USA. If you have a better quality of life than in Russia, then you are just a prosperous slave. For Russians, freedom is not an empty phrase and definitely not a bargaining chip to buy access to spotify with it. Think about it at your leisure.
1239  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: September 13, 2022, 12:30:27 PM
This is the biggest military defeat suffered by Russia since the second world war.
Don't be dramatic. According to information from sources close to reliable, about 1,500 soldiers controlled this entire vast territory in the Kharkov region from Russia and the LDNR. Most of which retreated in an organized manner across the Northern Donets River in order to avoid the threat of encirclement.

I am not so sure about all this. Izyum was a major battlefront many months back and it was captured by the Russians after weeks of bloody fight. Same with Kupiansk as well. And these two towns were strategically located as supply routes. Surrendering them to Ukraine in a matter of days was surprising to say the least. And the Ukrainians are now claiming that they outnumber the Russians by a ratio of 8 to 1 in Kharkov front. Where did all the soldiers vanished? They are not making gains anywhere else. Donbass front has been stagnant for many weeks and in Kherson they are on the backfoot.
This whole operation is taking place under the sign of an acute shortage of personnel on the part of Russia. Putin refused to call for mobilization (and still refuses) and also refused to carry out mass bombing to minimize civilian casualties. Both of these decisions separately are correct, but taken together at the same time, in my opinion, are a mistake. Let's see how events will develop, Russia does not plan to abandon the originally declared goals of the operation.
