Sergei Shoigu: Moscow wants to expand military as 'special operation' to continue in 2023....
Russia's defence minister has said the country's military must be expanded as he admitted "difficulties" during Moscow's partial mobilisation.....The defence minister also proposed raising the age range for mandatory Russian military service to cover Russian citizens aged 21-30. "Lets Get Real:
It seems that the Kremlin has learned from its recent call up of men to serve in the Ukraine, they are moving the goal post as to avoid having students do another run for the border, they have learned the lessons of the Vietnam War, one can speculate that the Kremlin thinks that older men will not do a runner as they will have left education. This could be a costly mistake, in extending the age to be called up it could lead to protest from men who thought that they had escaped the draft, the first time around. Sooner later the real death toll will come out in Russia, its makes the Afghanistan invasion of 1979 look like happy hour. The amounts very, but it can be speculated it is in the tens of thousands. Putin's Kremlin does not care about the number killed, it knows its head is on the chopping block, it is either wins in the Ukraine or Putin could find himself in the House of Special Purpose, it held the Imperial Family before their execution. Thus expect the death toll to go up after the WINTER, EVIL has to be stopped, the Russian people cannot escape guilty for the War, the EVIL BEAR needs to be jailed and his claws removed.
