Russian FM & Part Time Ghoul Lavrov Rejects Western Demands for Peace Plan

Reply in thread

6 months is assuming you gonna give them any decent training. Their main propaganda theme for many years was ww2 and to be like their grandfathers in it.

So yeah, they've progressed in their ww2 cosplay but we can go deeper. They still have personal rifles, after all, and not just several per 30 men.

As for the bit about taking people who are actually needed - well "victory, we wouldn't stand behind the price", same ww2 narrative.

Now, there is a risk full scale mobilisation would trigger some uncontrollable processes. And they were evading it for quite some time.

But the thing is, I don't think russian leadership is purely rational. Their leader sees himself as a messiah on a holy mission to reunite the Rus and be the Gatherer of Russian Lands.

I don't think he will bail and I'm fine with it. We need to end russia now, not to leave this problem to our children.

They can't retreat cause empires don't tolerate weakness. Thats why there were so many attempts "to preserve russians face" at negotiations, all of that denied by Ukraine (rightfully).

The best they can expect is current lines, and no recognition of occupied lands. And that means "betraying people of Donbass" (not like that ever mattered, but we are dealing with symbols).

All that, and you also would need to shift from wartime economy to civilian while still sanctioned.

Imo, they would try full-scale mobilisation and zerg rush first.

Crazy how you people even meet Paul. In Ukraine 99% interactions were via stashes: pay someone in crypto so they reveal the location (lat/lon) of the hidden stash and the photos of where it's hidden. Then off you go treasure hunting.

No face to face contact this way.

What's the public mood in Ukraine like?

What's the public mood? It's a big country and everyone is affected differently. Those who joined army in '22 are drained because there is no end date to their service. Those who found themselves a job that has protection from mobilisation can live more or less normal live, except for sleepless nights due to shahed bombings. Those who are falling into mobilisation group are highly nervous and generally try to avoid going out of home unless needed.

Exhaustion is high, but what's an alternative? I don't see the will to accept surrender. And it's not like trump's direct negotiations lead to anything, the idiot don't understand shit about fuck. He thought russia is talking about territory exchange, but they demand unilateral withdrawal. He thought russia wants direct negotiations president-to-president, but it's not on a table - they suggested to continue Istanbul's talks, where russia offers capitulation, and the level of their delegation is laughable - you can't discuss shit with them because they literally are nobody and have no right to discuss serious subjects.

Yeah you can verify yourself, it's still there.

Actually if you think about it, VK link in accounts on Instagram is a dead giveaway even without twitter, this is just an extra verification.
