Putin lies about a "special operation" instead of a war and does not declare a general mobilization.

At the same time borders are open for leaving.

Off to Phuket and enjoy the sun.

 

Battle of Berlin 1945:

Russia 2.5 million soldiers, 6250 tanks, 7000 planes.

 

Just to give an idea about the proportions.

Just as well that the Soviets were fighting Germany then, as had all those German troops been available in western Europe what chances do you give the Americans/ British of succeeding? IMO they'd never have got off the beaches.

Yes they are running out of bullets, bombs,tanks,aircraft,  gas, oil, food,friends in other countries, have to cannibalise washing machines to keep the nuclear bombs in working order  all whilst being drunken Hitler Putin Orks..quite amazing why they have not surrendered unconditionally and agreed to all of Zelensky's demands...they will soon though right ? 😋

Russia forming North Korean battalion amid soldier shortage: report

South Korean soldiers were apparently formidable in Vietnam, and I expect no less of those from the north.

I suspect it's more about Kim wanting to blood his soldiers than making up for a shortage of Russians.

That's point of blooding troops never been in conflict. Did you not know that?

I suspect he's going to build up his army for a conflict with South Korea, and blooding them is invaluable to develop a fighting force. The South Koreans, on the other hand, haven't been in a real war since Vietnam.

Likely that any without a wife or kids will try to surrender / defect at the first opportunity. Only those with loved ones left behind would want to go back.

Ukraine have sufficient materials in country to make their own. 

 

If they cannot get Nato support and backing then their options are limited.

This may well push the EU into having Ukraine join Nato faster,  as they have been just dilly dally around this subject for years and good on Zelensky for pushing them. 

 

Or if the EU likes,   Ukraine might as well just pack up and leave and let Russia have all of Ukraine ...  then what do you think Russia will do after taking Ukraine ! ......    he'll go after more ground of course  !!

I imagine a few will be turning up in South Korea alive though.

The leaflets should have already been printed and loaded in the drones. "Desert, come over, and start a new life with your rich cousins".

I understand that Thailand has a lot of Ukrainian military age guys hanging about.

I can't distinguish a Russian from a Ukrainian..

In your earlier post, it was Ukraine will seek nuclear weapons, now you think Ukraine will make their own. Spinning, spinning, spinning. Ukraine is losing and will lose. Get used to it.
