    Lots of meat for the grinder.

    Sounds like he’s getting desperate to end the war on his terms.

    There is a quantity-quality relationship here that we should point out.

  3. Oh this is this time of the year. Once again, they’re using that simple trick to be able to higher more people without having to declare how many people died!

    It took them 8 months to increase military personal by 180k. That’s about 22.5K people per month.

    That’s not very far from the 1K death/day estimate from Ukraine.

    “Putin gladly sends 180,000 more Russians to die because of his stupid pipe dream”

    I guess this means even more Russian draft dodges in Thailand and Vietnam.

    russia in 30-40 years will be an entirely new uninhabited continent to be rediscovered.

  7. I took a look at the Kyiv post…. If the losses of equipment are anywhere near accurate, I have to wonder what Russia will consider a bare minimum of armament to preserve for minimum defense. The numbers are staggering.

    So sad, Russia’s population was already declining. This is a death sentence to a whole generation.

    Putin orders green cheese to be harvested from the moon.

    Putin orders Raygun to give up his gold medal.

    Putin orders tides to stop washing away his sand castles.

    Putin orders raccoons to stop making a mess by his trash.

    Putin orders women to find his odd look and offputting demeanor attractive.

    Putin orders citizens to stop referring to him by his nickname.

    The same time:

    >ZAKARIA: You know, we’ve talked about munitions often and you talk about it a lot. Help us understand. So the U.S. has passed this big aid package. Europe has passed aid packages. Why is that not translating into enough munitions for you now? Is it that there isn’t enough supply or is it that you need more aid?
    >
    >ZELENSKYY: Everything. A lot of different reasons. First, it goes very slowly. Second, we need 14 brigades to be ready. **Until now we don’t have from these package on brigades, we didn’t equip even four.**

  11. 180 000 soldiers is just a half year worth of soldiers for Ruzzia. So next mobilization this spring.

    Does this guy not have anything better to do than playing toy soldiers with the lives of both Ukrainians and even Russians? Has anyone introduced him to the idea of running a functional and prosperous country? If he is too dead set on war then someone should introduce him to HoI4 so he can go play his war games on his own and the rest of the world can rid our hands of him.

  13. They should recruit these goddamn russians from Finland first. Instead russian military aged men are hiding over here.

    Ah, the old Russian proverb: *”We thought our situation was so bad that it couldn’t get any worse. Then it got worse.”*

    With this move Putin has just exasperated an already horrible population-bomb crisis. Where does he suppose he’s gonna get 180,00 more soldiers from? The army was scraping the bottom of the barrel as it was. What are they gonna do, expand the recruitment age window again? Import more North Koreans?

    This is madness. Putin must be stopped by whatever means necessary.

    Russia (as we know it today) will not exist in 100 years. They simply won’t have enough Russians to make their economy float. Putin is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

  16. htes28carney on

    To put into perspective the brutality of this war, statistically, all of those men will be dead or wounded in 5-6 months.

  17. macross1984 on

    Putin still determined to acquire more cannon fodders at the expense of weakening the foundation of Russia’s future.

    By the time shit hit the fan, he’ll be long gone.

  18. Putin is erasing the russian dna. Soon most of the female russian will have a non russian husband and the true russian people will fade away in history

  19. dukerustfield on

    Old enough to shave, old enough to die in a foreign invasion. Oh, you don’t shave yet? Well, you could if you wanted. Your head at least. So there

  20. That implies that Russia has a 1.3mil standing army, which is obviously a blatant lie.

    They have scraps and that’s it.

  21. We could shoot all of them and blow that away in under 5 hours.
    And that’s just with the local police department’s grouping up and deploying swat team members out where I live.
    I’m still just shrugging this off. Putin should just give up and stay out of the Ukraine like he was supposed to in the first place. He lied to do all of this to himself, and I’m glad its biting them in the ass.

    I’ll use this as a bed time story history lesson for my kids or their friends for sleep overs to teach them the importance of being a good man and being a honest human being for a life time. Because power isn’t everything, moral character counts.

  22. Wow! that is pretty close to the number they have lost in Ukraine.

  23. Another 180,000 targets to practice drone strikes, artillery strikes, and a bit of rifle range practice. Snipers will be pleased too, as they too can get a chance at zeroing their rifles.

    He’s going to destroy Russia

    For what

    Hitler-esque ego?

    Madness.

    Of all the European countries, Russia has had one of the weirdest if not most tragic histories

  25. SobiTheRobot on

    How? Do they even have anyone left?? *Putin you dumb motherfucker, you’re sending your whole country to die for no reason.*

    Reminds me of that meme from family guy with the Chinese baby being delivered and straight to the factory
