Now that the Greatest Invasion of Russia since 1944 has ended, time to share some random ass tweets that I found of interest detailing this epic campaign that will go down in history as a thing that happened in history.

As the Ukrainian backed Seperatists Crossed the Border, Russian Fires Did Try to Interdict them apparently.

Russian Television Propagandist Solovyev criticizes other Russians for engaging in schadenfreude regarding how Ukrainian drones struck the elite Russian gated community of Rublevka recently.



Meanwhile Wagner Chief Prigozhin's passionate reaction to the whole situation.



Turns out a possible reason why the Drones penetrated as far as Moscow is because Russian Air Defense was too busy intercepting Storm Shadow Cruise Missiles. The Russian MoD has supposedly claimed shooting down almost thirty of them this month alone. A significant increase from the two Russia claimed to of shot down just a few days ago.

I say again: Russian propaganda is reaching 2003 Iraq levels with "Comical Ali".

"Ignorant fools like Joe Biden, Lindsey Graham, etc. have gotten us into a position where Russia might declare a full military mobilization. The Europeans will thank us when there are 2 million Russian troops on their borders." - Colonel Douglas MacGregor

So, serious question actually. Any idea how much quality wise the Russian Military will be trying to add two million more troops into their rolls. Just to sustain the 300,000+ soldiers involved in this Special Military Operation for sixteen or so months, they used all of their contract/professional troops, "volunteered" conscripts, Wagner recruiting tens of thousands of prisoners, the Russian MoD recruiting tens of thousands of prisoners, a partial mobilization of 200,000 troops, DNR/LNR Seperatist forces, widespread use of volunteer battalions, deployments of Rosgvardia, South Ossetians, Chechens, various PMC's, and pillaging their own military like using sailors and mechanics etc to act as replacements in military units.

But, perhaps by marshaling their entire economy and industry on a war platform... for this Special Military Operation they'll take Ukraine and still be able to threaten Europe with a two million man army sometime in the short term and have the equipment and logistics to supply them all?

Quality? They don't do that there.

The standing army of Best Korea is 1.3 million and with reserves may go close or beyond 2 million, yet somehow their southern neighbor, a country with less population than Italy, didn't die out of fear or something.
So, wouldn't be surprised if Russia goes for something like that in the future, maybe 4 million even...
However, that huge army will look a lot less intimidating when most of it is stuck on fighting Ukraine clumsily.

Who the fuck is

Colonel Douglas MacGregor

 

[Husky_Khan]

Who the fuck is

He's a military expert who correctly predicted the annihilation of Ukrainian forces east of the Dnieper within by the end of March. Most people assumed he meant March of 2022 but to be absolutely clear, he never explicitly stated March of what year... or what the 'the next 24 hours' could actually mean. If he meant the literal next 24 hours, he would've said tomorrow right?

Highly regarded commentator on military affairs by the anti-imperialist/pro-invasion/anti-war/anti-liberal/pro-authoritarian/antifascist/antisemitic/pro-traditionalism/communist/anti-communist/pro-liberty/antiracist/pro-nationalist/far left and/or far right horseshoe theory confirming pro-Putin commentators.

Look him up on the Sietch and you'll find dozens of videos of his in depth, incisive, daresay profound interviews stretching all the way back to well before this Special Military Invasion was even contemplated and everyone was sure that this was just West doomery.

Anyways he's the one who recently stated in a video that Russia will be able to mobilize two million soldiers on Europe's borders soon. And there have been a lot of rumors that recently, Russia was going to pursue FULL MOBILIZATION though no one is actually sure what that means or the implications of that would actually be.

 

[Buba]

In other words - "put him on IGNORE"

 

[Jormungandr]

Basically, he's a complete quack that has zero idea but people listen to him anyway because he says what they want to hear.

 

[Zachowon]

Yes. Give Finland and Poland a reason to mobilize themselves

 

[Husky_Khan]

Is there no depths to which Russia will lower themselves to?

The Russians will lie.
And then they also kill medics who were in a marked ambulance just trying to save lives. Woth an ATGM

No utilities support. No free education for relatives. No pension or payouts to family. Not even a much meme'd Lada?

State just paid for basic funeral costs (not full funeral costs), a bunch of flowers and a local government official offering a boilerplate speech about what a hero he was. Funeral lasted two hours only because there were more military funerals to take place that day.

Truly a patriot, selling his life for such a paltry sum to defend the Motherland...

Actually checking out the comments of one of the videos so unconfirmed obviously:

Also because she didn't receive compensation, which is only given if you die outside of Russia apparently. After the annexation of the UA Oblasts, all the frontlines are in "Russian territory" so no compensation to anyone has to be paid.
In the earlier months of the war Russia did bring back dead soldiers, nowadays they don't even attend to their wounded.

How curious of them to privilege lives lost on the attack over lives lost on the defense.
