The Brink of War?

===The article claims that "Vladimir Putin has secretly approved a law that could send a further one million men to fight in Ukraine, according to information leaked from the Kremlin."===

With the same result they may claim "secret number" is 100 000 000... why not? Nobody can check it. Unreliable gossips.

Hence my closing sentence: "This is another instance of where we will have to wait to see if fact is stranger than fiction."

But if Putin does not expect speculation about his motives for mobilizing reservists, or about the number of reservists to be mobilized, Section 7 should not have been censored.

Hahahaha... Sure-sure: opposite part should know to what to prepare, right? Why so many things every government has to classify? They should to publish it on websites: plans of advances, schedules and ways of supply lines.

By the way: I like this article and I think it should make panic in Ukraine because they never will be able to mobilize additional 1 mln for to response. Is it inspired by Kremlin?

We should shove Putin's face into a massive pile of cow shit, and hold it there until he suffocates and dies. That would be a good news story to read.

Doesn't really matter at this point. If the actual volunteer Russian military got decimated by Ukrainian forces, I can only imagine what's going to happen when a bunch of ill trained conscripts show up on the front lines. I just don't see how Russia can come out of this intact. Either there's a revolution and the Russian people overthrow the government, or Russia splits up into about 12 different countries.

Those are really the only two outcomes I can see here. I can't see any way how Russia becomes successful at the end of all this.

conscripts can't be used in military operations by Russian law... when in February about 600 conscripts were involved, there were 12 criminal cases agains offices who send them to Ukraine...

only contractors and experienced reservists may be used...

I don't know, here in the West it's being reported as a "partial mobilization of 300,000 Russian civilians who have prior military experience", or in essence, conscription / military draft. Little difficult to describe it as anything else.

Again, doesn't really matter anymore anyway as Russia has already lost this war. Don't worry, regardless of what Putin says, the West has absolutely no desire whatsoever to invade Russia. Well, unless Putin decides to be a total fucken moron and start firing nukes, then the West will have no choice but to go into Moscow.

Aside from that though, the West is totally fine letting Russia send all of its 20 somethings off to die in Ukraine as cannon fodder, and watch the country implode on itself. After all, it's up to you Russians to fix your broken country, not us. We have more than enough of our own problems.

Btw... Russian demographics are horrible. Russia barely has enough 20 somethings to put together a strong military anymore, so if they're going to call up another 300,000 people, who's going to make the next generation of Russian babies?

At least if Russia split into 12 different countries Putin would have achieved his goal of rebuilding the Soviet Union. A bit smaller granted...but at least he would have an Empire to rule.

Man from British colony Canada tells me about demographic. Country that yet exists only because permanent immigrant inflow.

At least immigrants actually want to come to Canada, unlike Russia which is experiencing a mass exodus. Must be getting tough to find skilled labor over there these days.
