Last time they had a mobilization was in 1914 which lead to ridiculous losses and a revolution 🤞
What the hell is a mobilization? How did they fight WWII without moving or "mobilizing" their troops?

I think mobilisation will force Russian citizens to rethink the whole thing as suddenly they will have to get involved.

I follow some Russian YouTubers who have fled the country.

Putin has upset Joe now.

He says a prominent member of the UN Security Council, Russia, invaded its neighbour, adding Moscow has "shamelessly violated" the core tenets of the United Nations charter.

Biden says Vladimir Putin has made nuclear threats against Europe, adding that Russia is calling up more soldiers to fight and the Kremlin is trying to annex parts of Ukraine.

The world should see the outrageous acts for what they are.

It's hardly mobilization if only every third Soviet soldier had a rifle ;)

Interesting days ahead for sure, probably more anti-war protests within Russia and even more assassinations of Russian-installed officials in occupied areas by local partisan groups

I think the Russian soldiers will be turning their guns on the commanders.

Prime Minister Liz Truss has confirmed five British nationals held by Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine have been released.

She thanked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Saudi Arabia for helping to secure the release of the detainees.

A meeting took place on Tuesday 20th September at Ramstein Air Base in Germany between the US, Ukranie and Israel.

In a shift on policy Israel is understood to now be in negoations around supplying Ukraine with their modified Iron Dome Missile Defense system to allow Ukraine to protect its major cities and infrastucture from Russian attacks.


I bet the above will seriously piss Putin off. :lol:

Thats nazi-ism for you. A US, Iraeli coalition.
Absolutley riddled with anti-semitism, aren't they?
Thank the Lord for Putin's balanced non-racist, liberal views. Sorry for my sarcasm. What a **** he is!
Only one dictator wreaking havoc at the moment.

Speaking of revolutions there could be one going on in Iran? Barely see any coverage of it.

The streets are rioting and the death toll is rising after a young woman died in custody of Iran's 'Morality Police' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LCqGmDe1a4
