You see those old Putin shills on Russian TV talking ballsy about how "we need to open up another front." Easier said than done these days for them. Pretty difficult finding troops for just the current operations. And when those old farts talk that way it triggers the general population that already knows damn well that Putin is trying to implement a general mobilization without officially declaring one. Those TV bloviators think they are scaring the shiite out of the west but in fact they are scaring their own population more. And they have plenty of reason to be scared. And yes, Ukrainians are taking it up the bo-bo, but there is no cakewalk for the Russians and they do not have the troops to open another front. It would have to consist of firing missiles or the like, and it is not clear that they have sufficient supply to just be popping off missiles as a substitute for ground invasion. This fellow in the picture does not exactly look like MENSA material but out of respect for the dead I hope they at least gave him a decent burial. His girlfriend there looks like if she were any younger she would be sitting on a pony when they had their picture taken. Probably she has another boyfriend already now that Corporal Canon-Fodder is gone. Such is the fate of a "Russian Hero" denazifying Ukraine. Also, look at the fellow in the background in that photo having his picture taken with family. He would be a roadkill by now. Pitiful man, pitiful. Putin putting the "special" in special military operation. more at link. Russia Pulls Out All the Stops to Find Fresh Troops The Russian army is suffering high casualties in the war against Ukraine and Vladimir Putin badly needs fresh troops. He wants to avoid a general mobilization, so the military is relying on other methods. https://www.spiegel.de/internationa...troops-a-254bf9c2-c83b-4492-8dea-1f5cec53b03e
Russia threatens Lithuania... Russia tells Lithuania: your citizens will feel the pain over Kaliningrad https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...y-arrives-russias-kaliningrad-ria-2022-06-21/
It's time that the US finally gets involved with air power and establishes a no-fly zone and moves the Russians eastward. This is what I suggested at the start. If not, the world will look back and say, "We should have stopped them in the beginning". ---Serious rap.
I was actually thinking about that the other day. Ahhh... I don't think so though, not that they wouldn't want to. Russia would go into Northern Japan first I think.
