Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[Bofferbrauer2]

Russia finds it increasingly difficult to meet the signup targets for the military as the country now has effectively full employment. In Moscow, the regional signup bonus has reached 1.9 Million roubles, which would translate to about 22k US$, and by purchasing power an equivalent of over 80k. Add to this a 400k federal signup bonus and any Russian who signs up basically has the equivalent of several years worth of salary just by signing up - probably longer than they're going to survive at the front.

Now of course in other regions the signup bonuses are quite a bit lower, but this really shows how difficult it is getting for Russia to find more soldiers for the meat grinder.

Don't worry Shoigu, Scholz will obviously tell Ukraine to leave Russian territory in Kursk before Ukraine can negotiate peace with Russia at the next peace summit. Scholz will obviously also start to talk about giving up Ukrainian territory to reach this goal. And why all of this? Because he's the weakest politician (not only Bundeskanzler) there is in Germany who shits his pants because the left and right wing parties have been so strong in Eastern Germany's election and he'd rather fuck Ukraine and try to get some votes from assholes back as to stay at a strong position against Russia.

What's up with Eastern Germany anyway? From an outside observation it looks as though there's still a huge divide between Eastern Germany and Western Germany, to the point where Eastern Germany is now voting in Nazi fuckers like the AFD. It's also Eastern Germany that is way more against Ukraine aid IIRC.

Germany never managed to fully re-integrate East Germany into Germany, and it looks increasingly like they never will.
