People are people. Russians are smart like any other nation's people. We are not fighting in Ukraine. You do know that don't you? We are helping them with weapons. Russia is having a bad time of it. The "smart" Russians predicted a 3-day war and victory. Tough? They are just people and the people in Ukraine are protecting their homeland and families. Russian soldiers do not even know what they are fighting for.
Russia has 6 million troops.
If you add all their active, reserves, and paramilitary troops, they can get to 3.5 million. That would leave them defenseless on all other possible fronts, and many of those reserves and paramilitary troops are not fit for combat. Many of the active troops are not in parts of the military that can be used in Ukraine.
To get to 6 million, they would need to draft every male between the ages of 18 to 28, which they could not do. They would be lucky to get half the males, so would have to draft half the males between 18 and 38.
It is illegal to even say that Russia is at war. You cannot draft a huge chunk of your population for a "not war". Putin would collapse if he tried to get 6 million troops out of Russia.
Maybe there is another option that we are not seeing, but Putin is. Having said that, it does not currently look good for Putin.
The Mind Molders dont talk about it generally because if they did they could not pump out constant pro-Ukrainian propaganda "The Russians are not taking and holding Ukraine, the Ukrainians are winning!"
Take a deep breath Hawkeye. Russia is not able to take over Ukraine, but so far Russia has not lost the war. Right now it looks more like a stalemate, or possibly a slow advance of the Ukrainians.
There is a chance that the Russian troops will collapse: break and run, but right now that does not look likely.

This is easy, even for you. Russia attacked Ukraine. They invaded a sovereign country. That is what they do. The US is an expansionist country. But that has nothing to do with this. It is Russia who showed what a threat they are. The Red nature is why NATO was started. The rest of the world knew what Russia is like and what they would do. Russia is fighting with poor-quality weaponry and poorly trained soldiers. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/20...ary-training-recruits-putin-bell-ebof-vpx.cnn
Scott Ritter said Russia could come up with 6 million troops. Maybe he included women. I think Ritter was talking about full blown conventional war with NATO. The point is that Russia is fighting for its survival. This is what happens when democrats unite with neocons. Again, US generals are speaking out against Biden's aggression. Biden has always been a war hawk.If you add all their active, reserves, and paramilitary troops, they can get to 3.5 million.

They could come up with 6 million troops, if they were in a war... But that requires Putin to admit they are in a war, and they are fighting for Putin's survival by invading other countries. The next thing Putin would have to admit was that his survival is dependent upon his neighbors failing in their own countries so he does not look incompetent.
In short, to get 6 million troops, Putin has to admit he should be removed from power. That is the trap he is in.
We could of course help him out of this trap. We could start committing genocide against Ukrainians to help him, much like we could have committed genocide against Jews to help Hitler. Not really seeing how that is our job.
As for being a "war hawk", Biden has been careful to keep us out of the war.
Even if that were true, why are we sending weapons and dollars to nazis?
Zelenskyy, a Jew, is also a Nazi? Seems a bit farfetched to me.
Walt, you're educated, or at least you can read a spreadsheet. Obama was told to instigate a proxy war with Putin in 2014 but Obama refused to give nazis javelin missiles The neocons want a complete blockade on Russia with military bases and economic warfare. The Biden administration is in bed with the neocons. Dems can no longer deny being imperialist.They could come up with 6 million troops, if they were in a war...

The US has a long history of arming, training, and funding, far-right extremist. Dems are ignorant to that fact and are now underestimating Putin and Russia.

Putin overestimated Putin and his own damn forces. He promised to win in 3 days. How is that working out? Putin has been repeatedly wrong. Putin is an imperialist in fact and action. The Americans did not start this war or attack Russia. Nobody attacked Russia. This is Putin's folly.

This is not a Nazi problem. That is a poor excuse that Putin made up.
The US congress broke their own ban on sending weapons to nazis in Ukraine. It's easy to do a search yourself, or do you need me to provide the link?This is not a Nazi problem. That is a poor excuse that Putin made up.
