A general mobilization by itself is useless if there's no equipment and logistics to support the troops.

Love this. If I think back to what we in the West all thought Russia was prior to this war, this is shocking to me. It would be like Mexico invading the United States, taking several towns in Texas, and our government not being able to do anything quickly about it. I mean no offense to our friends across the border, but it that’s an absurd scenario. Hell, I have to wonder if the federal government would even be needed in a situation like that; the Texas guard could probably push them back across the border, and I don’t think it would make much of a difference if we’re fighting a war elsewhere (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan) at the same time. Jesus Christ, Russia… you had us all convinced you were on our level, but all you have are those useless nukes. Anyway, sucks for Russia, but they can end this war whenever they please. I’m sure if they leave Ukraine, Ukraine will leave Russia. Until then, I think Ukraine should take and hold as much as they can across the border. Create that buffer zone Putin wants; only do it on his side. Laugh in his face when he complains, because Russia deserves this. The next time Putin talks about “peace,” the Ukrainians can say, “Sure, we’ll leave the lands we’ve taken from you when you leave Crimea and the Donbas region and sign an agreement guaranteeing our border integrity. Otherwise, we’re keeping what we’ve taken.”	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

1,000 infantry is a LOT these days for mobilization. It’s a LOT of firepower, they usually carry a bag of C4 in each platoon, multiple rockets, mortars and THOUSANDS of rounds between just a squad of ~6 dudes. A single infantry squad about 6 in properly fortified positions should be able to maintain an effective defense against almost ~100 attacking enemies provided they do not have air/artillery support. The textbook ratio expectation for losses when attacking a fortified position is roughly 40% of your troops historically. And each platoon is probably being supported by 2-3 tanks and an 2 APC to move troops around. Tanks and armored carriers can seriously ruin your day. They seem trivial because these days they can be fairly easy to destroy but if you have no way to blow them up they are really just as terrifying and dangerous as air support. Probably even more terrifying because they don’t leave the AO. This is likely the beginning of the end for Russia, if the offensive is truly going as well as we all suspect.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

Counter argument, albeit a tenuous one: Russia needs the nuclear genie to be out of the bottle in order for nuclear threats to carry any weight. It's the sort of slippery slope that Russia loves... "we used it on ourselves, we're allowed to use it on Ukraine now, and because you didn't get mad at us the first time because it was inside of Russia, and because we believe Ukraine is Russia and also nazis, you can't be mad that we're now using it on them"	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

> This offensive is forcing Russia to decide if they are going to give up the positions they've taken and withdraw significant troops back home to defend themselves. Moving the forces would take several days where they'd be vulnerable to attack This, Putin, is why you're supposed to have reserve troops standing by behind the front lines, ready to be deployed in response to emergencies and unexpected enemy action. To counter enemy offensives or reinforce the front lines if they're struggling.

He his still deeply hurt by this, but understood why he had to let it go absolutely for free. He himself told me this, "I don't understand why they attacked us. We have done nothing to them and we share culture. He is impudent..." That's the best word he could Think of to describe him. He says the war totally caught him off guard because he believes, maybe he's wrong maybe you know more, that the Ukraine was an ally of Russia and to attack them was selfish and childish.

Kinda, an big alliance of the left barely defeated them but those were the elections for the parliament (and the left alliance doesn't have a true majority, only relative). However they still doubled their number of seats and may win the next presidential elections. They never had that much power, and it's increasing every year, they are receiving significant help from a french very far right (traditionnal catholicist) billionnaire that bough a lot of medias in the country about decade ago. As an example, the guy basically own the publisher for about 80% of all school books in the country, and he clearly just doesn't stop at owning things, he stops investigations, cancel very popular shows, fire entire journalists teams.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

I mean i address this in my second point. The explosives in question don't have to obliterate the track, all it has to do is damage the track enough the its not effective and needs to be repaired, then you have drones either waiting to come back around and immediately bomb the track again, or have drones on standby waiting to take out the repair crew. The damage to the rail itself isn't the key concern. Its moreso the repair team running the risk of getting drone striked while repairing the track. This concern is compounded multiple times over if the Russians were theoretically smart enough to damage the track in multiple area's. It would mean the engineers need to be exposed longer to fix the whole track.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

Without a doubt he regrets it. Russia was doing so well. The longer they held Crimea, the less like it would be that they ever lost it. European dependency on their natural resources was growing rapidly. NATO's existence was being threatened, and they were appearing weak/ineffective. Trump losing reelection was a setback, but a big portion of the right in the US was still warming up to Russia. Putin got cocky and impatient. Instead of repeating the playbook from Crimea, or just playing the long game by slowly undermining the Ukrainian government until an ally of Russia can get into power and open the doors... he just snapped and went with a full force invasion. Not just to the regions they were trying to "liberate" but attempting to go all the way to the capital. Now here we are, years into the invasion Hundreds of thousands have died. NATO has taken two new, strong members. Putin has had to push dozens of former friends/allies out of windows. Russia is forced into an uneven relationship with its only remaining allies. Vast amounts of economic damage. Their military might has unquestionably shrunk. The Black Sea fleet is crippled. Natural resource exports to Europe are still going, but it very quickly changed from rapid growth to a rapid decline. Pipelines and depots have been destroyed. And Putin has had to bluff so often that most of the world has stopped taking him at all seriously; when the invasion started, the West was wringing their hands about sending any sort of military aide to Ukraine. Now most of those countries are not only doing that, but they are also giving Ukraine the go ahead to attack targets within Russia. At this point, Russia is literally being invaded and most of the world is cheering the invaders along. Imagine that happening 5 years ago. Everyone would have been terrified that it would lead to an all-out nuclear war. Western countries would very likely be condemning the attacks and sending Russia aide. Putin was impatient and screwed up massively. There is no chance at all that he does not realize that. His legacy is destroyed because he will not live long enough to turn this mess into a victory. In power or not, he will die while Russia is suffering through the consequences of his decision to invade Ukraine. Once he is gone, there is no reason for the next government to not squarely pin all of the country's woes on Putin. Even within Russia, history will not be kind. And for the rest of Putin's life, he will be terrified of being assassinated. Constantly in fear, sending out look-alikes, distrusting those around him, hiding in his bunkers. I assume his original plan was to eventually retire and enjoy the billions he stole from the Russian people. That seems entirely impossible now.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-09-08

A general mobilization by itself is useless if there's no equipment and logistics to support the troops. Throughout the war Russia hasn't had any issues finding more bodies to throw at the meat grinder, what they have struggled with is equipping them with modern equipment to the point they've had to resort to their WW2 Era stocks. The efficacy of a general mobilization for Russia is blown out of proportion.

Love this. If I think back to what we in the West all thought Russia was prior to this war, this is *shocking* to me. It would be like Mexico invading the United States, taking several towns in Texas, and our government not being able to do anything quickly about it. I mean no offense to our friends across the border, but it that’s an absurd scenario. Hell, I have to wonder if the federal government would even be needed in a situation like that; the Texas guard could probably push them back across the border, and I don’t think it would make much of a difference if we’re fighting a war elsewhere (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan) at the same time. Jesus Christ, Russia… you had us all convinced you were on our level, but all you have are those useless nukes. Anyway, sucks for Russia, but they can end this war whenever they please. I’m sure if they leave Ukraine, Ukraine will leave Russia. Until then, I think Ukraine should take and hold as much as they can across the border. Create that buffer zone Putin wants; only do it on *his* side. Laugh in his face when he complains, because Russia deserves this. The next time Putin talks about “peace,” the Ukrainians can say, “Sure, we’ll leave the lands we’ve taken from you when you leave Crimea and the Donbas region and sign an agreement guaranteeing our border integrity. Otherwise, we’re keeping what we’ve taken.”

Granted, I'm an armchair private, but this whole thing reminds me of the Total War games franchise where the computer regularly has massive armies in the field and next to no garrisons in the cities. It was possible to conquer entire factions in one turn just by having your armies dip around theirs and take on a few lowely town watch units

1,000 infantry is a *LOT* these days for mobilization. It’s a *LOT* of firepower, they usually carry a bag of C4 in each platoon, multiple rockets, mortars and *THOUSANDS* of rounds between just a squad of ~6 dudes. A single infantry squad about 6 in properly fortified positions should be able to maintain an effective defense against almost ~100 attacking enemies provided they do not have air/artillery support. The textbook ratio expectation for losses when attacking a fortified position is roughly 40% of your troops historically. And each platoon is probably being supported by 2-3 tanks and an 2 APC to move troops around. Tanks and armored carriers can **seriously ruin your day.** They seem trivial because these days they can be fairly easy to destroy but **if you have no way to blow them up they are really just as terrifying and dangerous as air support.** Probably even more terrifying because they don’t leave the AO. **This is likely the beginning of the end for Russia, if the offensive is truly going as well as we all suspect.**

Counter argument, albeit a tenuous one: Russia needs the nuclear genie to be out of the bottle in order for nuclear threats to carry any weight. It's the sort of slippery slope that Russia loves... "we used it on ourselves, we're allowed to use it on Ukraine now, and because you didn't get mad at us the first time because it was inside of Russia, and because we believe Ukraine is Russia and also nazis, you can't be mad that we're now using it on them"

> This offensive is forcing Russia to decide if they are going to give up the positions they've taken and withdraw significant troops back home to defend themselves. Moving the forces would take several days where they'd be vulnerable to attack This, Putin, is why you're supposed to have reserve troops standing by behind the front lines, ready to be deployed in response to emergencies and unexpected enemy action. To counter enemy offensives or reinforce the front lines if they're struggling. But obviously, he's already stretched his army too thin as it is and has nothing in reserve.

He his still deeply hurt by this, but understood why he had to let it go absolutely for free. He himself told me this, "I don't understand why they attacked us. We have done nothing to them and we share culture. He is impudent..." That's the best word he could Think of to describe him. He says the war totally caught him off guard because he believes, maybe he's wrong maybe you know more, that the Ukraine was an ally of Russia and to attack them was selfish and childish.

Kinda, an big alliance of the left barely defeated them but those were the elections for the parliament (and the left alliance doesn't have a true majority, only relative). However they still doubled their number of seats and may win the next presidential elections. They never had that much power, and it's increasing every year, they are receiving significant help from a french very far right (traditionnal catholicist) billionnaire that bough a lot of medias in the country about decade ago. As an example, the guy basically own the publisher for about 80% of all school books in the country, and he clearly just doesn't stop at owning things, he stops investigations, cancel very popular shows, fire entire journalists teams.

I mean i address this in my second point. The explosives in question don't have to obliterate the track, all it has to do is damage the track enough the its not effective and needs to be repaired, then you have drones either waiting to come back around and immediately bomb the track again, or have drones on standby waiting to take out the repair crew. The damage to the rail itself isn't the key concern. Its moreso the repair team running the risk of getting drone striked while repairing the track. This concern is compounded multiple times over if the Russians were theoretically smart enough to damage the track in multiple area's. It would mean the engineers need to be exposed longer to fix the whole track.

Without a doubt he regrets it. Russia was doing so well. The longer they held Crimea, the less like it would be that they ever lost it. European dependency on their natural resources was growing rapidly. NATO's existence was being threatened, and they were appearing weak/ineffective. Trump losing reelection was a setback, but a big portion of the right in the US was still warming up to Russia. Putin got cocky and impatient. Instead of repeating the playbook from Crimea, or just playing the long game by slowly undermining the Ukrainian government until an ally of Russia can get into power and open the doors... he just snapped and went with a full force invasion. Not just to the regions they were trying to "liberate" but attempting to go all the way to the capital. Now here we are, years into the invasion Hundreds of thousands have died. NATO has taken two new, strong members. Putin has had to push dozens of former friends/allies out of windows. Russia is forced into an uneven relationship with its only remaining allies. Vast amounts of economic damage. Their military might has unquestionably shrunk. The Black Sea fleet is crippled. Natural resource exports to Europe are still going, but it very quickly changed from rapid growth to a rapid decline. Pipelines and depots have been destroyed. And Putin has had to bluff so often that most of the world has stopped taking him at all seriously; when the invasion started, the West was wringing their hands about sending any sort of military aide to Ukraine. Now most of those countries are not only doing that, but they are also giving Ukraine the go ahead to attack targets within Russia. At this point, Russia is literally being invaded and most of the world is cheering the invaders along. Imagine that happening 5 years ago. Everyone would have been terrified that it would lead to an all-out nuclear war. Western countries would very likely be condemning the attacks and sending Russia aide. Putin was impatient and screwed up massively. There is no chance at all that he does not realize that. His legacy is destroyed because he will not live long enough to turn this mess into a victory. In power or not, he will die while Russia is suffering through the consequences of his decision to invade Ukraine. Once he is gone, there is no reason for the next government to not squarely pin all of the country's woes on Putin. Even within Russia, history will not be kind. And for the rest of Putin's life, he will be terrified of being assassinated. Constantly in fear, sending out look-alikes, distrusting those around him, hiding in his bunkers. I assume his original plan was to eventually retire and enjoy the billions he stole from the Russian people. That seems entirely impossible now.
