T.O.
Am I missing something or is he getting desperate and looking for conscripts? I'll wait for his Terb buttlickers to explain (Notty, come on down).
The poorly trained Russian and other ethnic conscripts don't seem to be doing the job.

His Christian and atheist people are docile because they wouldn’t want to go where prigozhin and so many others went.
So why wouldn’t Putin want to trump up some support from muslims? Nothing to lose, only to gain.

I agree, surprising. His Cristian crowd can't be too happy.

What Christian crowds? That country lived without god for 70 years. Or rather instead of serving their god they were told to serve their country which meant the government. It’s not fucking Poland or something. It’s basically a godless land.

I don't know, I'm reading there are about 70 million Christians in Russia. Many thousands of churches. But I agree Poland is much more.

I thought he had gone in heavily with the Russian Orthodox Church as a means of consolidating power and creating cultural unity in the chaos after the break up of the USSR.

Hey I understand desperation. When your sock or your couch just doesn't do it for you anymore, you gotta try other options.

I wonder if after the kissing he got him some or did the book turn him down. That sort of rejection would really hurt.

Yeah but you can’t turn the clock back 70 years.
Between people’s interest in religion and interest not to be persecuted by the state the latter will prevail. Besides, the church execs are heavily corrupted and are in bed with the state.
And in any event Christians in Russia are not known to take to the streets. Unless it’s for a pogrom.

Troops deployed in the counter-invasion into Russia are well-trained
and well-equipped NATO cannon fodder. It is too costly for Putin to
deploy well-paid regular Russian forces to fight off Ukraine's counterattacks.
Hence the need to look to the Muslim minority for fresh and cheaper conscripts.

I noticed that you used the term cannon fodder. I don't think that term means what you think it means. Well trained and well equipped is the opposite of cannon fodder.
Your other point is also devoid of truth and understanding.

And they are not NATO cannon fodder, they are Ukrainians and they are not part of NATO. Calling them partly equipped by NATO would be more accurate.

Man oh man the fail in this Neville Chamberlain.

This is why the muslims will eventually run things worldwide.

The christians are too trusting. And the atheists are usually basketcases all hocked up on antidepressants or are lgbtq.

Not much of a fight for muslims who are disciplined and train to kill everyday.

I hope im wrong but i doubt it.

The West is weak, everyone knows it. Look at the mess of Europe, U.K. and Canada and the States. The old joke was always..."C`mon Asteroid". The asteroid is here and it`s Muslim.

The ones hock tuah'd up popping pills are conservatives. Are you anticipating Christian crusades ? Not a bad idea actually if the MAGAs get sent to the front lines and actually do something other than complaining, boycotting and calling military personnel suckers and losers

Putin is safe, and the US is making sure of it because the US doesn't trust the next Russian leader if Putin is deposed. Putin would've nuked Kyiv by now but he hasn't, that's why the US wants to keep him in power a bit longer.

Putin have not nuked Kyiv for many reasons including that China and India wouldn’t like it.

US and the west have always been a bit cowardly when it came to Russia and their fear of imaginary escalation helps Putin tremendously.

Just because the troops are well-trained and well-equipped doesn't mean
they are not expendable like cannon fodder particularly if their equipment
and training are provided at low cost or free. Many if not most of the troops
won't recross the border alive.

And they are not NATO cannon fodder, they are Ukrainians and they are not part of NATO. Calling them partly equipped by NATO would be more accurate.

NATO-Eu and Ukraine are interchangeable in this proxy war IMO. You
think the counter-invasion would have transpired without NATO?

US and Eu are not as cowardly as you think. They just want to win
the proxy war on the cheap. So does Putin actually. Difference is
NATO-Eu and the U.S. are cheapo while Putin is destitute. Eu and
Canada have reason to dread the prospect of the return of Trump
because he would make us spend more on the proxy war.
