Ok, so they have reduced the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 extra mobiks, and now want to throw another 500,000-700,000 into the meat grinder. 

No training, substandard equipment, poor leadership, no tactics beyond suicidal frontal attacks.....
Well, it worked in the Great Patriotic War (WWII) against Germany.

Throw down your guns.
Don't be so reckless.
Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

Interesting move, how long before Lukashenko wakes up to what the Kremlin is planning....  Even then what will he be able to do,  there are thousands of Russian troops already in Belarus.

What a damn shame....

Horrific.  I can’t take any pleasure in this.

I am starting to see the appeal of religion though.  Don’t much care about salvation or heaven, but I would like to believe that every dead Ukrainian and dead Russian equals another demon fucking Putin and his cronies in the eye sockets for all eternity. 

Being an atheist sucks. Sadly they’ll never get the punishment they deserve.

I know, being an atheist sucks. We never get to say, "Well you'll get yours in the afterlife..."

I watched a video yesterday on the history of Finland and Russia - I had no idea the détente they have goes back centuries with invasions, treaties, defense, the whole shootin' match.

Point being, we need to allow Finland into NATO to really put the pressure on Putin - That would essentially be a checkmate on his provocations.

Edit: Funny, Kabool, I was ranting about Finland/NATO just as you were typing.

Quote
The Russian president's comments mark the latest in a series of such warnings from Moscow. But he said Russia would not recklessly threaten to use nuclear weapons.

"We haven't gone mad; we realise what nuclear weapons are," Mr Putin said.

"We have these means in more advanced and modern form than any other nuclear country, that's an obvious fact," he said.

"But we aren't about to run around the world brandishing this weapon like a razor."

Mr Putin also denied Russia possessed tactical nuclear weapons and said it had never used them abroad.


Gee that's going to make his only friend China happy to hear ::)

And weren't they the ones boasting about how easy it would be to wipe the UK off the map with a single bomb?

And saying he would use a nuclear bomb in response to an attack against a nation with no such capability shows he is happy to use the ultimate in disproportionate response. What a dickhead

Well he's surely fucked his nation and his legacy so he'll always be a loser and remembered as such. I think even China is thinking WTF?

You can only control the information they consume. Isn't that right?

Is that half the reason behind the totalitarian push to control speech on the internet?

These bots learn things, if you can't control what they learn they will end up working for the good. As they will in any case, despite your best efforts.

Actually, most of the equipment was already bought and is being donated out of existing inventory.  A fair bit coming from EU/NATO is actually old Soviet era equipment, because that's what Ukraine already knows how to use.

Department Moves Quick to Replenish Weapons Sent to Ukraine

Some of the assistance provided has been new and purchased on contract from defense industry manufacturers as a part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. But much of the equipment, some $12.5 billion worth, has been provided as part of presidential drawdown authority. That means things such as Javelin and Stinger missiles, HIMARS rocket launcher systems, and Switchblade unmanned aerial systems, for instance, have been pulled directly from existing U.S. military inventory to be sent overseas.

Because so much gear has been pulled from U.S. military units, that equipment must now be replaced in order to sustain America's own readiness, and the Defense Department has already contracted with an array of manufacturers to give back to military units what was taken from them in order to support Ukraine.

Personally, as a taxpayer, I have no problem with this. With a DOD budget for fiscal 2022 of $1.64 Trillion, a drop in the bucket.
