I’m not insulting anybody, I’m merely pointing out he has not fully mobilised if he does that is entirely a different situation. I’m fully aware how much 300.000 is but I know the difference with that and a possible 25 million. Now stop attacking and learn :
Yes sir!
After reading history most of my life, and being in a military family, especially on the two World Wars I have learnt more than a little, but there is always more to learn.
I was not the attacker on this point, but just made an observation based on the fact that this is a local, regional, war that Putin thought he could win very quickly and with limited resources. It was certainly never an invasion into Ukraine to the extent that Germany was involved in on the 22nd June 1941, when over 3 million troops went in with 3,000 tanks, 7,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft. Now that is a serious invasion, but Putin, unlike Hitler, did not expect a strong resistance and has been the case so did not commit the full force of his armies.
The stepping up of troop numbers of any type, let alone 300k, reflects his desperation to reverse his failures. With conscripts involved, including apparent inmates of prisons, I do not see him overcoming the Ukrainians who are going to receive even more Western aid.
But these are interesting times!
