A typical Russian attitude example Some Russian citizen named Victoria Borodina: Previous messages: "Ukros are stupid. They should stick with us - who else wants them." "ha ha, Ukros are defeated. We win" Today: "What is this horror happening? They announced a mobilization. Our children will be sent to die. My son is in the military reserves. Now this war affected me personally. Putin, I hope you die, <expletive>"
*edit* I was duped. This footage is from the start of the sanctions and war. It happens to the best of us.
Interesting to consider that many of those mobilized will not enjoy the same availability of armored vehicles their “Predecessors” did, leading to likely even higher casualty rates. If Ukraine were to deploy weapons that were particularly efficient against large numbers of unprotected troops…
Russians, be careful, Mates. One poor fellow apparently fell down the stairs and died in the midst of all this mobilization chaos and stampede to get out. Putin Ally Dies After Falling Down Stairs on Day of Russia Mobilization BY GIULIA CARBONARO ON 9/21/22 AT 9:32 AM EDT https://www.newsweek.com/putin-ally-dies-falling-down-stairs-day-russia-mobilization-1744944
On Georgian and Finnish border there are huge queues from Russians who want to leave Russia. Finland 35 km Russian cars who want to cross the border. I hope Georgia and Finland will refuse access to ALL OF THEM. In all big cities in Russia there is protest. They shout now: no war. It is really a privilige to live in Russia.
Like I’ve been saying all along, “Handrails”. The lack of handrails is costing Russia their top people. In fact, handrails may be their key to victory! I doubt nobody knows more about handrails than OSHA. If start hearing about OSHA inspectors disappearing, we’ll know who to blame! In the meantime: I have seen actual videos rather than animations above of cluster bombs in action. Most impressive. Most often optimized against light vehicles, light structures, and personnel for great “Street sweeping” capabilities. Apparently works well in wooded areas.
While we may all die, it will be our deaths! Putin is the security problem. For both the West and Russia. It appears we are now locked on to the fate that befalls those who allow tyrants to obtain near absolute power.
A lot of Russians at the border with Kazakstan too. They apparently can cross the border without any problem. Putin wanted to increase the Russian population, but like with all his other wishes, this one goes wrong too. He will end up with much less Russians then he had before the war: About 60,000 already dead, a few hundred thousand higher educated left Russia already weeks ago, and now a big amount tries to escape too. Putin will be left with uneducated, poor or very old Russians. Not a good start for his "new economy" that is going to produce everything themselve. ROFLMAO.
