The use of crippled/wounded Russian men as soldiers is not the only or even the most important indicator that Russia has hit the mobilization wallâ¬‡ï¸

Nor are female prisoners, foreign mercs or DPRK soldiers.

Russia is now deploying Hitlerjugend-esque child-soldiers.

So Russia is already unleashing the Russian equivalent of the Volkssturm and Volksgrenadiere after just 2 years even though he had already made extensive use of PMCs and penal units beforehand??

Putin will have to make a very difficult choice in the coming months. He will have to choose to prioritize his military economy or recruit more soldiers to compensate for the losses, as he doesn't have the personnel anymore to do both. In other words, Russia will either have fewer, somewhat better equipped units or more units, but very poorly equipped ones.

Good to hear of these misfortunes of Russia's forces

We take #Trump's peace plan very seriously and support it, — #Putin

At the same time, the Russian dictator claimed that a ceasefire is now impossible to agree on.

It is still unknown what Donald Trump's plan on ending the war consists of. pic.twitter.com/woaz5oZQve

Trump's eagerness to surrender to Russia is nothing new.

Even amidst total collapse of the USSR, Trump wanted to "negotiate", bowing to Moscow rather than just beating the bastards, which we did and can do again.

To quote my favourite Science Fiction show:

"Sometimes peace is another word for surrender."
-Commander Susan Ivanova, Babylon 5

Earth (along with a number of other systems in the region) had been swept by the xenophobic sentiment and the Trump-like President Clark came into power. The Centauri Republic had invaded and conquered much of the Narn regime, and President Clark under the guise of "peace in the galaxy by not expanding the conflict" signed a treaty with the Centauri stating that they wouldn't defend or aid the Narn Regime in their war (at the time, Babylon 5 was sheltering Narn refugees and hiding a Narn heavy cruiser that had escaped battle).

The irony is Susan Ivanova is a character of Russian heritage.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

On Russian television, a video was shown of a Russian soldier finishing off another Russian soldier after an FPV strike. However, they misrepresented these Russians as Ukrainians. An expert then commented on the "animalistic nature" and "fascist ideology."

What Westerners willing to sacrifice Ukr to Ru aggression to avoid confronting Ru don't get is that Ru's aim is the West itself. For Ru, the US is the "main enemy" and Europe is its "satellite". Abandoning Ukr won't change that, it would only embolden Ru to go further. https://t.co/pFshYSHmHM

Putin, for the third time this month have said that he is ready to talk to Ukraine.
Just a few points that need to be considered of what Putin is ready to talk about:
-recognition of all Russian gains on the grounds and in Russian law (UA lands, under UA control)

realistically censorship laws that would make parts of Ukrainian history extremists/illegal;
Current Ukrainian leadership will have to go. Rada would be expected to reassemble new "legitimate government ";
That's a starting pack. Moscow is ready to wait. Moscow clearly thinks

sovereignty. "New Ukraine" must be effectively left with not even a theoretical chance of claiming back its lands currently occupied by Russia.
Would it be the end of it? I hardly doubt.

— Anton Barbashin (@ABarbashin) July 4, 2024

Regardless of how many times Putin declares his alleged readiness for talks with Ukraine, what he is really up to is UKRAINE'S PARTITION AND TURNING WHAT IS LEFT OF UKRAINE THEN INTO THE RUSSIAN PROTECTORATE. To put it simply, he is ready to discuss the means, not his objectives
