Russia and Ukraine

[The Grand Nudger]

I'm assuming all the macho men on this forum will be signing up soon, because they think it's important to continue the war, and Ukraine is running out of soldiers.

That'd be russia.  Russia is running out of troops as they try to murder every ukranian even if that means they have to fight down to the last dagestani.  Scraping the prisons and tasing bros at nightclubs.  Ukraines problem is different.  They don't want to conscript their prime warfighters (men 18-24), but there's no way to come up with enough infantry otherwise...the whole thing being academic, because they don't have enough decent weapons to equip those new units if they did stand them up.  If you want critical views of the ukranian governments war plans without batshit kremlin talking points...try tatarigami_ua.

Why is Ukraine losing ground? Mobilization crisis and command failures exposed

“A small Soviet army cannot defeat a big Soviet army.” Once a cautionary tale, this phrase now rings prophetic. Of course, calling Ukraine’s army a “small Soviet army” oversimplifies the issue – neither Russia’s nor Ukrainian military is truly Soviet in the broad sense, but both have inherited the Soviet military’s systemic flaws.
