    NATO allies believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin is aiming to recapture territory lost to Ukraine in Kursk Oblast before Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

    NATO should be stepping up in turn and arming the shit out of Ukrainians.

    I’m thinking a bus holds about 50 people. So this is like 40 buses worth of casualties. In a day. Crazy. I sure wish Russia would just fuck off back to their own country, for everyone’s sake.

      I guess this is the purpose of pulling in North Korean troops.

      Russia could theoretically do another mobilization, but the last “partial mobilization” went poorly politically and they seem reticent enough to do another that it may not be politically possible.

        it’s hard to call for a mobilization when this was supposed to be over 1000 days ago

    that’s more people than live in my community growing up. that’s more people than went to most people’s highschools. that’s more people than who most people are able to remember names for.

    it’s a mind boggling number of people that russia sent to die exclusively for the purposes of hating Ukrainians
