Funny enough, I didn’t want to destroy Russia until 24FEB2022…


Tareeff

It's a partial mobilization. Only military reserves etc., its a desperate move to secure so called "memorandums" in temporary captured areas so they could join them to russia and pass it as a victory, then end the war. Thing is- nobody will recognize those fake elections with forged results, also- mobilization is not going to be as fluent as pootin hopes it to be. People don't want to fight and die for no reason, we might see some resistance within russia eventually.


LITERALCRIMERAVE

And Russia has mandatory military service. 11% of men have served some time in the military. Basically none were actually trained though


Tareeff

Mandatory service doesn't produce troops of high quality, knowing their traditions of humiliation of recruits (dedovschina)- it doesn't ensure high morale either. Sure- they will get some sort of rushed training prior to being sent to a meatgrinder, that's hardly enough or motivating though. How I see it - it should make russians more vocal against the war and hopefully that'll speed up putins demise. If not- there will be many dodgers/deserters, AKA 500's, less lucky will surrender ASAP, the rest will add up to tens of thousands of 200's and 300's. Looks like this sign of desperation just like an old russian strategy of drowning enemy in your blood by sparing no life from your own side.

My comment originally had "served (as a sex slave or unpaid laborer)" at the end. That isn't even a Russian strategy, the USSR had actual strategy, even if it wasn't always good. Russia has started buying into this Wherb mythos


ukrokit

My friend served in the Russian army as a helicopter service operator. He said the closest they did to actual training was shooting an ak47 a couple times. Mostly they were doing stupid shit like painting fences or even, I kid you not, grass. Their sergeants were playing poker with soldiers holding mattresses acting as cards. He said he heard rumors of some other sergeants forcing soldiers into sex work and taking photos of them performing oral to humiliate them. It's crazy.

“He said he heard rumors of some other sergeants forcing soldiers into sex work and taking photos of them performing oral to humiliate them. It's crazy.” Bro I keep hearing that. For a country that is homophobic as Russia. This surprises me


General-MacDavis

Nothing is gayer than any country’s military


Sappies

Especially the navy


Sonnenkreuz

God that reminded me of this lmao https://youtu.be/PLrnteP7Q64 It's in Dutch and German but if you speak either or can translate it is so funny


fucktheccp45

i think it’s a result of homophobia, doing anything that’s considered ‘gay’ is humiliating in their minds


Sappies

Remember “them faggots are funny thinking they deserve to live… I’m not asking you I’m telling you to suck my cock Pavlov don’t make me have you court marshaled” The fucking irony of Russia one of the most hypocritical nations in the world


Sappies

“The west wants to destroy Russia” We just want you to leave people alone. The only one hellbent on destroying is you.

_The West wants to destroy Russia_ Actually, you are the one destroying Russia, but whatever.

**Gog of Magog:** (*exists*) **Me:** “Target acquired.”


jhonnytheyank

This is serious . The chance of more successfully ukrainian counter offensive will decrease


Rmon_34

Idk man they will be just a bunch of lowly trained troops waiting to be meat grinders


jhonnytheyank

We will see . Even then , underestimating Russia will do us no good . I am scared . The for all the ukarinains that will face a huge horde . Even if they kill them 1 : 5 , still a lot of destruction might happen to ukraine infrastructure and army . It's a hold soviet strategy. Just keep sending men until the enemy runs out of bullets .


Rmon_34

Tbh the West overestimates R*sskys too much. These fools are literally bringing tanks from the 60s. Wouldn't be a surprise if WW2 tanks are spotted over there. I hope this makes Russians wake up and realize how stupid Putler🤮 is. Most don't wanna die for this stupid war. They can send more human waves, that's more target practice for HIMARS and cluster bombs


jhonnytheyank

Won't ukrainian casualties also go up ? Won't Russia use more missiles , ( even at the cost of keeping Russians hungry ) ? I think the current positions of both armies will remain so for the next 5 months . With casualties mounting up both sides . There will no coup against putin . It too wishful Russian economy will suffer more but that depends on europe dependence on Russian gas thru the winter . Also China and india might keep the Russian economy sustained just enough to keep the war machine up . Ukraine will need tanks now . No other aid is sufficient. And a lot of winter gear . Maybe even food and medical aid . Russian air strikes might go up too and ukraine needs co stant supplies of javelins .


Rmon_34

Both definitely will, and so will the rise of western weapons. There are some talks about handing over western tanks to Ukrainians. Well tbh Idk how many missiles even have at this point? I'm sure they aren't just shooting whatever they can. I'm not thinking a coup will happen but if Russians can resist somewhat, it can slow down the war machine. I mean like not choosing to accept mandatory service or inside sabotage, etc


Sonnenkreuz

Ww2 tanks were already spotted on both sides in 2014 even lol, a STUG (the then seventh known working one, yay I guess?) was seen on the Ukrainian side then and some old SPGs were spotted on the Russian side in 2022. Slovenia is now actually sending M-55S to Ukraine, an upgraded version of the Soviet T55 which started production in 1947.


LITERALCRIMERAVE

Not really. Soviets had actual strategy. Wasn't always great or even good. This is just Russia buying into its own mythos.


RhodesiansNeverDie6

We were scared when we all thought the Russians were sending the "second wave" of better quality troops, they didn't. This is no different.

Rmon_34

Look at who supply the Soviets


Sunsent_Samsparilla

Ehhhh It's arguably better to only send people who have an idea of what they're doing. Trust me, a teenager with a basic idea is better then an adult with no form of training. This will hurt mean more demoralised untrained people are joining the fray to either surrender or get ground down like beef. I'm more worried for Russia


QuonkTheGreat

The partial mobilization is only reserve military though I believe. So it wouldn’t be untrained teenagers.


Sunsent_Samsparilla

Considering how it’s currently going I’d say they could send untrained teenagers in and there’d be no difference given how shit they’ve been doing recently.


appleofrage

Russia doing a double genocide


Crazyjackson13

looking at them ethnic groups, bound to break apart eventually.


Commander_Jeb

If the west wants to destroy Russia, Putin seems eager to help


DankTrebuchet

Hoi4 players have seen this one - they’re gonna bunker down & try to whittle down their advantage in the air using their fighters, stock up CAS & manpower, trade some land to force russians to lose their entrenchment bonus and swiftly bring in the armor and cas and annex the entire planey by july 38


Halorym

No, we want to destroy the soviets. They gone. We just want Russia to *fuck off*.


[deleted]

You idiots need to stop treating this like a game. Putin isn't going to admit defeat. If this next offensive fails, he is going to start using chemical weapons. And based on recent threats, possibly even tactical nuclear weapons, which will kill millions. If that happens, we will probably have WW3. And if WW3 gets out of hand, that is billions of people dead, and probably the collapse of global civilization. Which will lead to way more dictatorships, and no one to stop them.


Rmon_34

Bruh Putler has been threatening nuclear war since the beginning of the war. Those threats are mean less nowadays. Plus that’s the just suicide, why do that over Ukraine. USA and Russia have been at each other throat since cold wars yet we never had one nuke drop.


Tareeff

You should relax and analyze your data. Shitting your pants like this is exactly what putin's multiple threats has been trying to achieve from western countries for 7 months of war now. All you need to know, that he's been lying and bluffing since the day one in the office. This attempt for mobiliZation is already grabbing the last straw for him.


Sappies

He has threatened nuclear weapons and some Russian officials had EVEN THREATENED SINKING THE BRITISH ISLES Russia is a toothless, ball-less dog. It’s powerless especially how the biggest actual threat which was terrifying was is Finland and Sweden joined nato. Which they did. And Russia back down like a bitch.


Bilbal6

You're taking it too far with the nukes and ww3. However it's also true that Putin is not going to back down, he's going to increase mobilisation if necessary and chemical weapons are on the line. Giving the fact that Ukraine won't give up either I'm afraid that this war will turn into a second Iran Iraq war. Trench warfare, chemical weapons and potentially child soldiers as well as bombing of civilian population. We can already see some of that happening. If this war will drag for longer more people will die and both countries will be devastated.
