Blaming cluster munitions for demolishing you, I can understand. But why is literally everything Shoigu's fault when it's down to brass tacks that you buffoons can't fight properly?

The reason they believe why they lost is because AFU gets to freely bombard them with arty, while their own is silent, and they cannot counterbattery properly. They blame this on Shoigu refusing to provide sufficient ammo.

The actual reason is that there isn't sufficient ammo to go around, and what little there is keeps getting himarsed/storm shadowed at the depots.

WW4 has started lmao

This reminds me of BRICS and how they're saying it's just a local conflict. Which I guess it is even though almost all of Europe and the US is in on the effort. But I mean we should always remember that the war might not feel that big of a deal when looked at from elswhere.

Seems like the Russian army is incapable operations, just defence and churning. That's destructive, but it's not good war fighting.

I really hope European leaders are finally realizing they have to step up support for Ukraine, this needs to be ended soon.

Yeah, honestly. You didn't need to tweak it any further yet you did and while I might be a passive observer for the most time I'd very much love this tag.

Piss poor because of ptsd but if there's a chance to show even passive support to a cause this would be one of those times I'd be delighted to do so.

I mean the other context is that it's quite normal and presumably not considered embarrassing at all in much of the developing world for the military to be a total joke.

They're less capable of overthrowing the tinpot baron (rates as low as once a decade!!) and are still effective at their primary purpose, killing protestors.

The need for more meat.

The Russian State Duma adopted a bill that provides for raising the draft age to 30 years old (currently 27). Young people from 18 to 30 years old can thus be called up for military service. The law will come into force on January 1, 2024.

"This law was written for a big war, for general mobilization. And this already is a big war," deputy Andrey Kartapolov said.

Hey bozo, I thought it was supposed to be a special military operation and not a war? Someone arrest him for breaking the law

quote:

The amendment allows governors to create state-owned enterprises during "mobilization, military emergencies, or wartime to aid security forces in safeguarding the national borders, combating sabotage and reconnaissance groups, and illegal armed formations."

The decision to form and dissolve these military state-owned companies will rest with the President. The funding for these entities will come from both federal and regional budgets.

They will be equipped with combat firearms and ammunition, which must be returned after their disbandment. Employees of these state-owned military companies will be authorized to use physical force and firearms in the same situations as law enforcement personnel.

They will also be permitted to neutralize unmanned vehicles of all types � aerial, surface, subsurface, and transport.
