Zelensky warns that Putin could announce fresh mobilization to boost the manpower of his invading army, which has used brutal so-called human wave tactics. “It is possible that he will step up mobilization after imitating ‘elections’ in March. The mobilization of Russians.”

1. Duh?

   That is the plan. Win the election and total war time.

2. No shit, really? Russia might announce increased mobilization at any point. This is a non-statement.

   Meanwhile Ukraine seems completely incapable of getting a mobilization bill passed.

3. Can’t he just keep flooding Ukraine was Asians who don’t speak Russian?

4. Solution of all problems always begins from recognition of their existence.

   Right now, almost a year later, but better late than never, it’s time for outright recognition that what is happening – the same Western stabilization/de-escalation as in 2014-2015 years. The only difference – increased costs of stabilization relatively to increased level of escalation. But by essence it’s the same.

   In 2014 and 2022 years, according to Budapest Memorandum and International Law, USA/West had resources/possibilities needed for restoration of Ukraine territorial sovereignty, without reducing defense capability necessary because of other than Russia geopolitical risks. But because they saw alternatives as more profitable, they decided just not do it. And therefore, it’s extremely unlikely that they will act differently in the future.

   And only then, admitting reality, start to search solutions from such situation.

5. That’s scarce workers being taken off Russian war production.

6. Okay, one thing the West doesn’t understand is this:

   • Putin will hang on so long as he has control over Oil and Gas profits.

   • Putin will not take issue with sending as many Russians as possible, even if all they’re left with is sticks and spears.

   • If / When Putin runs out of Russians, he’ll just use his oil and gas money to pay more mercenaries, from China, India, Africa, South America. He’ll use the “global South solidarity” to try and keep the soldiers flowing, even if it’s to their certain deaths.

   • In the long run, if Russia isn’t stopped by cutting off the taps, they’ll become responsible for a larger-scale military incursion in Europe with the use of foreign soldiers.

7. Ukraine hasn’t had elections to imitate lately .

8. Duh…. Was always the plan. Russians are as brainwashed and feeble as north koreans. This article/post states the obvious.

9. Then Zelensky needs to draft 750,000 men now. He should have done it 2 years ago but now is better than never. He needs to put the entire economy on a war footing if he is going to save his nation. Allied countries need to stop giving weapons piecemeal and send a goddamn tsunami of aid.
