Related: About this forumRussia is Preparing to Sacrifice 1,000,000 More Men - Paul Warburg
Russia has already lost well over 1,000,000 soldiers in their war against Ukraine. But apparently, they're just getting started. In this video, I talk about Russia's upcoming mobilization efforts and the evidence for them. I discuss why it won't make a difference for the war in Ukraine, but will make a difference for Russia's stability and future. In the face of massive demographic decline, Vladimir Putin seems to only have one strategy - throw more meat into the grinder.

... Putin's egomaniacal desire to be the reincarnation of Stalin, with a taste of Ivan the Terrible, and he'll murder as many of his countrymen as necessary to achieve that sick goal. Just like Trump, he is congenitally incapable of admitting a mistake, so the only thing that will stop either of them will be to resort to the ultimate sanction.
Putin's potential assassins are legion, and he knows it.
Trump is too dirt stupid to realize that his supporters are vastly outnumbered by those who will cheer his demise, and dance in the streets for days.
