@usmcpound Republic's had 60k army and when UA attacked them (from 17 Feb 22) with own 200 thousands (in weeks from rest parts of country came additional 300k), they with full scale mobilization increased own forces somewhere up to ~80k. Week later came Russia on help, it sent 115k of professional soldiers from army. Less than month later in Istanbul UA signed capitulation, Russia declared about finish of operation and returning back to home. But to UA came UK and proposal full scale of West support, UA canceled signed treaty… Russia gave to them time to think. In Autumn 22 it sent additional 300k from own reserves (not army, not conscripts). From Autumn 2022 Russia never send additional professional army or reserves. It is only came volunteers. While for conscripts was denied to participate by federal law in same Autumn 2022. Also, additional numbers for your knowledge: — professional army is over 2 million (participate just 115k) — reserves — 25 millions (participated 300k). Russia use tiny forces, they slowly growing and volunteers already represent majority. While opposing side declared permanent mobilization and caught all men right on streets with force.

@HengerR Vladivostok consist from two words: “vladet” and “vostok”, which literally means "to own East". Very specific city name. In Russia is bunch of such, e.g. Valdivakvaz — "to own Caucasus". Funny fact, name Vladimir means — "to own world".

@31mAyMgaYanga > says the one who believed z army will take ukraine in 3 days. sit down hypocrite This fake launched some US general, Russia never told it and never declared such goals. It goal are declared publicly by Putin. Instead of "take country in 3 days" he said opposing: “we not interesting in lands and not will take them, instead we will clear it from everyone in military uniform and right ideology". Over 1 million already done, few left.

@bloodrave9578 Mongols for own time had ultimate weapon — a lot of small horses plus best archers. It is described battles against them, forces even had no chance to approach to horde, horde moved and used archers, it eliminated everyone from distance only. During siege they used Chinese engineers who quickly built high class catapults. One of best example it is how they captured Baghdad, incredible strong stone city of own time, nobody even had idea it is possibly to take it. Chinese engineers in Mongol horde took it easy. Russia started to defeat Mongols only after changed strategy of battles, e.g.: — met horde in place where horde had no possibility to move, space was limited by trees/rivers/cliffs. — invented mobile fortification, so-called "guliai-gorod" (literally: "wandering town").

@31mAyMgaYanga > doesn't change the fact that russia is tanking their economy over their failing 3 day years of war. Russia never declared about some 3 days, it is said some US general. Why? Because they not understand Russian logic and goals. They always failed to predict Russia. > a war economy can never be sustained long term, just ask any economist In 2022 Russian economy is 6th in world. In 2023 — 5th in world. In 2024 — 4th in world. And first in Europe. Russian launched full scale process of deodorization in world, over 110 countries connected to Russian alternative to SWIFT system and now trading in own local currencies. Even Saudi Arabia joined to Putin’s BRICS and in 2023 declared that not anymore sell oil only for dollars (regards to this decision in 1974 dollar became main currency in world). So, from 2023 there are officially no anymore petro-dollar, it gone. Western economics falling, in Germany largest amount of bankrupts for last 25 years. Without Russian resources nobody can produce anything.
