seems they had a Military exercise in 2018 with over 300k troops


SO it's probably likely they have at least that much they could spend on Ukraine in total.

So where did Russia go wrong if they are really running out of MREs etc?

They were sitting on the border burning through food for ages, do people really think they sat their until supplies were almost running out and then went in?


did all 190k+ troops really go into Ukraine like we have been told? there's never been any footage of anything but small scale fights so it seems really weird, we've never seen any big ammounts of Ukraine troops either even in Kyiv? the most shown by TV cameras ahas been 50 or so guys on a bridge near the start?

By all reports many of the troops built up for weeks were selling diesel to locals to do supermarket runs for supplies albeit a lot of that seems to have been for alcohol. They weren't existing off MREs while doing the exercises and while deployed built up - they had on site baking, etc.

Yes well that's the new world we live in and has been coming in for over a decade, it's the plebs that normally get picked on by the police because they can and get away with it. Welcome to the new state police and we are sat here complaining about Russian police for people protesting, same here is happening lets be honest this country is slowly turning into a police state too, look at all the new recent laws they pushed threw.

I don't agree what these people are doing but the polices reaction is way over the top but it's us plebs that are paying for it of course, tax payers money means they can do what they want with it, seems money is always tight to help the UK people but always money that appears to help the rich. Anyways new world of stupidity and soon civil unrest everywhere to come soon after April once the plebs realise how they are getting screwed more and more everyday with some BS excuse from this government, now all the blame is on Ukraine why we have higher bills lol, but we were told all this before the war and now they have added this on as an emotional blackmail to the UK people on top of the never ending covid mess that will of course come back to bite us again as is happening in the rest of the world and our numbers are going up again too.

idk do they really get classed as "Soldiers" ?

still makes me wonder where everyone is, from the footage we have seen you'd think only small convoys and recon teams are even operating.

even the Ukraine army where are they? I don't think I ever saw more than around 50 Ukraine soldiers together and that was near the start guarding some bridge.


it doesn't really feel like some massive war is going on, there must be areas with heavy concentrations of troops though I guess.

That's why the "battle maps" are misleading. It likes saying I own Telford because I've got trucks on the old A5.

Independent researchers have confirmed Putin's popularity among the Russian population. They support him and this war, there's no denying it.

Putin's approval rating hasn't dropped below 63% since 2013.

Would the same independent researchers get similar results in North Korea for their leader?

General consensus in the thread last time this was raised is that people are happy with 0007's posting :)

I don't use RSS either, just use the 'ignore' feature, or take it up with the mods if you don't like it.

If you need a formula to help you understand how the Met are going to react to different circumstances, I would suggest it needs to feature the following questions:-
  • Will this result in the need for some investigative work?
  • Is there the chance to beat women?

I shouldn’t but the last part made me spit my tea out

Press reports tend to be lazy so yes most likely everyone that was deployed on that exercise would have been classes as a soldier, have a look at some of our own press reports on joint exercises they say the same thing(it infuriates sailors and airmen :cry::cry:).

Russia has spread there forces really thin TBH, look how many city’s they have tried to take, just looking at a map quickly they have troops at 5 city’s (most likely more) that’s only 38k troops at each city, not even accounting for buildup areas (if spread evenly, which it won’t be) that’s nowhere near enough, you won’t really see the Ukrainian army building up forces as they are using shoot and scoot tactics
