  1. I wish he'd pick the governmental capital of the Netherlands. The Hague, for those not familiar with Dutch idiosyncrasies.

  2.  @lin8049  You haven't understood how it goes in Russia. For every Russian mobilised, three flee abroad to escape mobilisation. The odds are not in Russia's favour.

  3. You trolls. You see a silver lining on the darkest of clouds. Time to pay the eye doctor a visit.

  4.  @crushnevnikita8575  Putin needed a two-bit dictator from Belarus to help him out. Also, a looming civil war is hardly an endorsement of Putin's leadership.

  5. ​ @oneshothunter9877  Kadyrov is an experienced turncoat, no worries.

  6.  @thusomaepa1852  Don't you wish Russia could mobilise more troops. For every draftee, Russia loses three as draft dodgers. Soon, there will be no-one to recruit -- or chase off.

  7. Your ruse would be the most elaborate of preparations ever for a simple troop movement. And who says Priggie got to take his mercs to Belarus? I suspect they've been left to the wolves in Russia. Shoigu and Germasimov will use them for cannon fodder in Ukraine.

  9. That beggars belief. It would've been the first military coup in human history that only targeted the military leadership, leaving the government leaders unscathed.

  10. How do you explain Putin's two presidential planes leaving Moscow then? A 4D chess move from the chess master?

  11. ​ @lin8049  You're viewing Russia's situation through rose-coloured spectacles. After Russia's sole hero in this war publicly debunked Putin's claims about demilitarising and denazifying Ukraine, and then marched his troops practically unopposed on Moscow, even fewer Russians than before are willing to lay down their lives for the greater glory of a megalomaniacal dictator. Full mobilisation would spell an immediate end to Putin's reign. A military resolution to the war in Ukraine is no longer in Putin's hands.

  12. Don't forget Gerasimov. Dumb and dumberer.
