WtafWhat the fuck
Seeing all these videos of Russian conscripts being rounded up, chucked into vans, fighting amongst themselves, drunks stumbling around with bottles of booze, being given WW2 equipment, 2 weeks training.
It's unbelievable.
It’s the only strategy the country has ever known. Just send wave after wave of fodder at the enemy
To be fair I do think that is a little overplayed, regards to WW2 at least any way.
I would suggest the WW2 casualty rate says otherwise
Germany lost more soldiers as a % of total population than The Soviet Union in WW2.
Their tactics were not to throw wave after wave of fodder at the enemy. But, similar to today, they lacked the organisation, leadership and training to successfully implement their tactics so it often appeared like they were just throwing men at it.
Films like Enemy at the Gates have a lot to answer for!
just wonder if this is where you got your stats from?

I have a pretty strong interest in WW2 beyond Jude Law films. Stalin saw people as expendable, no question. The proportion lost for the losing side would of course be higher but the absolute totals for the USSR are horrendous.
I read once that out of every 100 boys in the Soviet Union aged 14 when the war began only three survived to the end of the war.The proportion lost for the losing side would of course be higher but the absolute totals for the USSR are horrendous.
they are quite literally cannon fodder. Mass groupings going to use up Ukrainian larger missiles which are difficult to replace. Literally sending people to their death to deplete Ukrainian arms reserves.Poor fuckers. it’s going to be a bloodbath.

Still think the primary aim is ethnic cleansing.

Yeah, with hindsight maxing out my credit card on bottles of Cristal down the casino on Saturday night probably wasn't a good move... Saying that, with this government we'll probably all be bust by the end of the month anyway.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, seems to be the official cabinet line.
#prayforgrennersLyman looks like it will be encircled soon. I wonder if this will result in a collapse of the Donbas front similar to that of Karkhiv (fingers crossed).
Hmm, not sure. You get information and disinformation on all sides, so hard to tell. It is a Russian type of thing to do though.So do we all believe its the Russians that have sabotaged the nord-stream pipelines?

Are they saying it is definitely sabotage and not a fault?

Unless the fault was someone left 100kg of C4 down there by accident…
Very weird all round, not sure why the Russians would do it, unless it’s the ensure no way back from war.
Surely this just pushes the EU into finding alternatives and cutting off their reliance altogether?My hunch is that they’ve done it to show they have the capability to take out that new Norwegian pipeline at any time. Bit of a strange way of doing it, mind.
YeaSo do we all believe its the Russians that have sabotaged the nord-stream pipelines?
I'm sure I read somewhere that the only vessel in the area at the time was a US navy one.So do we all believe its the Russians that have sabotaged the nord-stream pipelines?
This is mental if they do it. They're basically asking Ukrainians to fight eachother.Ukrainians told to be ready to fight for Russia
The BBC gets rare access to the front line near Kherson where Ukrainian troops are pushing Russians back.www.bbc.co.uk
This is absolutely nuts, Drafting Ukrainians into the Russian Army to fight against Ukraine.... I'm sure that'll work well.
Fucking horrendous situation for those poor folks to be forced into.... but surely arming Ukrainians to attack their own countrymen is a very, very stupid idea.
Somebody is at fault but who knows who, I don’t think it benefits anyone, apart from maybe the us who can now sell gas to us via ships. One thing is for sure Europe will be struggling for a few winters to come, hopefully the governments come together and find a solution.So do we all believe its the Russians that have sabotaged the nord-stream pipelines?
