Putin zögert mit der Mobilisierung, obwohl Truppenmangel durch Kursk-Einmarsch offengelegt wurde

1. He’s been telling his country they are winning, mobilizing would undercut that message.

2. Perun’s latest video on [Russia’s wartime economy](https://youtu.be/8tHkwLSS-DE?si=vt2JskMJ_Tgp16zA) actually provides a great deal of context on this, including the fact that Moscow is currently offering signing bonus’s of 1.9 million rubles now that Russia’s other ready sources of single-use soldiers (eg prisons) have run dry. The upshot, among other things, is that right now supplying new meat for the front is an economic problem more than a political one but that could change.

3. They done mobilized what they could. All that’s left is to throw whatever shitty bombs north Korea and Iran gave you then hope those dragon drones don’t burn down Moscow.

   Russia fucking lost.

4. I guess he’s running out of marginalized communities to draft.

   Russians might not like it so much when it’s young white kids from major metropolitan areas.

5. The threat of mobilization is worse then the actual mobilization. If they think it’s happening millions will run for the border, enotugh to cause damage to the war effort

6. I guess he doesn’t want to mobilise moscow.

7. It’s a gamble he can make in case Trump wins. Everyone is waiting to see how things are going to go.

8. Offer people ever more money to enlist, to the point it becomes oddly suspicious its so much money, even to the dumb, or declare mobilize.

10. Didnt deepstate just confirm the russians had their best few days of gains in Kursk?

11. Like a lot of petty tyrants, Putin is infamous for putting off tough decisions.

    Hitler did it too. And Trump.

12. So Putin thinks mobilization may be unpopular? I mean it’s bad enough that they gotta go fight in some foreign territory. But now they gotta defend Mother Russia? Jesus Christ, that’s really just beyond the Pale, idn’t it?

13. Morale is bad overall. For conscripts, even worse. Thanks to Russian controlled media. If a Russian soldier is injured and partially immobilized, most will end their lives.

    The grave sites in Russia have grown exponentially along with pissed off Russian mothers and wives.

    Now with Ukraine sending drone strikes into Moscow, and continuously occupying the Kursk region, Russian media can’t hide or lie about *”well”* the special operation in Ukraine is going.

    Putin knows that if the people get fed up with him, he’ll be run out of office. While Putin has silenced most of his critics in the past…he can’t keep doing it without yielding favorable results.

    In short

    * Morale is in the toilet
    * Troops are poorly equipped
    * Troops are poorly trained (worse for Conscripts)
    * Sophisticated armaments are harder to manufacture due to sanctions
    * The *”Special Operation”* has showcased that a majority of Russian made armaments, will probably not be purchased in the near future. India, who used to be a big investor, will probably not buy any Russian military hardware.

14. You hear this every year.
