Their army & equipment is a mixed bag old/new, professional/conscripts but their Air Force is fairly modern and substantial. Their navy too.
Still a force to be reckoned with no doubt about that.

Need to exploit their vulnerabilities, which here seems to be command & control, supply and motivation

Should have it's own page just like the Covid one

War in Ukraine

It has been suggested that there should be a thread on the main board not just in the politics section, as this is of such importance, so here it is.

Just started this, I hope the mods leave it there.

What’s this person’s source? Have they been right about other stuff? Going to be horrific if true.

Conscription is taken seriously there too. My best friend is Russian, he came over here in 2003 and I met him at school. When he turned 18 his mother wouldn’t let him go back, she said she’d seen soldiers pulling people aside as they got off flights who lived abroad but were Russian citizens and carted them off to find out why they weren’t reporting for conscription. He didn’t go back until he turned 30.

He’d been unlucky then. Everything goes back to Stalin and his distrust for the army. Don’t let them stay in for too long and become loyal to officers.

Do you mean get rid of anyone who doesn't vote the way want them to?

As in a dictatorship

There is more going on in the world than the issue that got our government elected. Unfortunately our PM is one dimensional and surrounded himself with a one dimensional cabinet.

️YouTube blocks RT, other Russian channels from monetizing.

YouTube suspended state-funded media outlet RT from generating revenue on the video service following a similar move by Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc.

It seems the Russian kids are just following orders and don’t even know what’s going on

Whats that got to do with "getting rid of voters" you don't like?

Russians supposedly attacking large nuclear facility in the se
Dread to think if this goes up

Whatever Biden does it won't be worse than Trump blackmailing Ukraine and threatening to withhold funds from them unless they helped him rig his election!

Can i borrow your crystal ball marra, might come in handy for the lotto next week.
