The often repeated hypothesis is that China pressured them to do it after the Olympic games.

They have volunteers still waiting to get processed and sent to bootcamp. That's why some countries are announcing that they're sending instructors to train Ukrainian men in NATO bases.

It's not 190k plus 300k. After the initial invasion Russia "shadow mobilized" a ton of men. There's maybe a hundred k and fifty k mercenaries hidden between initial invasion and mobilization.

Rail can be repaired. When Ukraine targets Russian rail it's with the understanding that they're buying 24 hours of breathing room.

@ronarnett4811 Russian reservists were used up in the early months of the war. The so-called BARS units were for example defending Kharkiv and got mauled pretty bad. Conscripts only serve a year since the 2000s, and they famously call it a wasted year because there's almost no training involved. Russian artillery ratios mean nothing when the calls of fire suffer delays of several hours, barrels are toast, and HIMARS strikes on supply depots caused a reduction in fires.

Yep, them Russian oligarchs are losing.

@lo1lawl Afghanistan still has no bearing on the timing.

Ukraine has existed since the 12th century. It's older than Moscow.

@haraldhardrade7539 No, they were founded by the Rus who were essentially vikings. The Russians are the offspring of the Muscovia people after the Golden Horde collapsed and they took the name of the Rus for themselves. Kiev couldn't have been founded by Russians because Russians did not exist. The name "Ukraine" is older than the name "Russia".

Have you seen the human wave attacks? It's inhumane, Russians are being mowed down.

How do you improve a shitty place with old Humvees and Stryker armored vehicles?

@overman2306 And then worse ones come into the picture. We've tried it before.

@overman2306 Remove the drug dealer, another one shows up.

@ericrogers5802 lmao an Eurasian hegemon based on fake concrete buildings that crumble and a vast rural area where people don't have indoor plumbing.

Governments are at fault for not handling the fertilizer problem gradually but fertilizer run off was a problem that was known about since the 2000s. Science textbooks in middle school mentioned it. Stop namedropping the WEF.

@rodneychristian9834 Who's getting rid of nitrogen?

@rodneychristian9834 I know about the issue. The Netherlands has enjoyed a massive market of produce exports. I want you to look at the statistics, the Dutch are one of the world's leading exporters of agricultural goods. They're clearly overproducing in such a small country. They're only slightly larger than Belgium. Sri Lanka's ban was based on a silly organic farming theory by a loon. It has nothing to do with the topic.

@rodneychristian9834 How does a country roughly the size of Belgium become the world's second agricultural exporter? Who is going to replace that shortage? Everyone else. Those who couldn't compete with the Netherlands. Now they have their opening. That food was mostly going to what, high income European countries? Nobody's taking food out of their mouths. Three thousand farmers? You can easily find three thousand farmers in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, etc.

Many European cities have problems with housing and many countries have problems with youth unemployment.

Yeah, and the videos of those advances show they're sending men to cross no man's land without regards for casualties.

@TK-en2hq the issue right now is that Russia uses their comvict units under Wagner to soak up Ukrainian ammo and force the defenders to expose their positions. So Russia is helping a lot by using men as disposable resources, the downside is that defenders report that they're giving the Russians hell but they do not stop coming.

@harrybuttery2447 Yes, there was. There's plenty of evidence of it from the Russian side, gathering volunteers, people being "voluntold", the military cannibalizing their units to send reinforcements. It's all true. The Russians complained about it on social media. The captured soldiers admitted it.

@harrybuttery2447 I'm going to explain slowly. Invasion? Losses. Send more? Losses. Reservists? Losses. Mercenaries? Losses. Without hiring or "reorganizing" anything, the Russian army sent more men than initially planned. You're trying to convince me that if the 82nd Airborne had been wiped out in Iraq and the US had to send more units overseas that's just "reorganization". No, it's WIAs, KIAs, and people quitting their contracts. Don't make excuses. If you're not going to listen to captives, listen to the wives and bosses in businesses who were complaining that they had to pull people out of work to send them to Ukraine. Russian men were "mobilized" to Ukraine before general mobilization was announced and at this point you're denying reality.

The consensus seems to be that Lee was brilliant at defense but subpar on offense. I'm not American so I have no horse on this race.

@dano6845 I don't know how you can type that out and still come out thinking anything other than Ukrainians named themselves after their historical name, Russians named themselves after something they thought was cooler.
