Forget partial mobilisation - Russia is going for 100% mobilisation

‘It’s a 100% mobilisation’: day one of Russia’s drive to build its army | Russia | The Guardian I guess its falling further into the trap, but its also existential as well. Too many NATO bases and to many fires lit around its borders.

I don’t know why, but whenever I hear about such numbers, in this case for military mobilization, I get the need to multiply such a number by 5 or at least by 4.
You know, the reservists will need replacements either due to rotation or due to losses in their ranks, plus logistics, etc.
It looks like yes , that he falls into the trap, and it is one of those types of traps when you enter with your head first and then the trap itself does not allow you to go back reflexively, you have to go only inward, there is no going back.
But i hope i’m wrong.

I tend to agree …and hopefully Putin is not also a player within some supra-national combine which would be very bad for the Ukraine and Europe, probably the world.

I wonder how the Russian weapons, based on “other principles”;
will go down w/the Western power brokers?
Hard to swallow?
Or, will NATO respond in kind?
Send rockets of sand in space; then explode them?
Or, are they already up there? W/poor caliphate fingers, on the triggers?
Last satellites standing[so-to-speak], wins the high-ground.
Not a game; to roll the war-dice on.

100% mobilisation means 25 million men mobilised!!! They couldn’t accommodate a fraction of that! That reliable UK press again…

My money is on Putin. One would be remarkably naive to think that this is some “ Trumpesque” shoot from the hip move. This operation and all that entails imo would represent 20 years of planning. Trumps moves btw probably reflect at least that long of a timeline……We will end up in some sort of a East vs West showdown that God willing will be peacefully resolved…
