Sky News: Reports " Shooting at conscription office and another centre attacked with Molotov cocktails after Putin's mobilisation order...It comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin - faced with a series of defeats in Ukraine - announced a partial mobilisation last week that could see 300,000 reserves called up to fight. The move has sparked protests across the country, and military-aged men have been fleeing in droves. "
Lets Get Real:
Thus so far the resistance has been limited and on the whole Russian security can deal with them, but one only has to look at what happened in 1917, when Russia was on the backfoot with World War 1, the Soldiers marched with their feet, thus Putin has to worry about the following, the HARD RIGHT in Russia is blaming the Russian Defence Department for the failures in the Ukraine, they want more extreme action, thus the use of tactical nuclear weapons, Putin must be aware from the US that is a no go area, if Putin did use a tactical nuclear weapon in the Ukraine that would drag in NATO and the US, then it all could get out of hand. On the hand, Putin would see what happened to Tsar Nicholas II when he as forced to abdicate in 1917 when the Russia was going down the toilet due to World War 1, thus Putin does not want to be a failed leader, he has made to many enemies, so what does Putin do, does he wait in till WINTER and hope to break Western Europe when it comes to sanctions, or does try to get a dirty deal with the WEST, another Munich were the Western Europe sells out the Ukraine, for the increase of Russian gas that fuels the Western Economy. One could expect the Germans, French, Hungary and maybe ITALY who have a new right wing government to place pressure on the Ukraine to give Putin what he wants, one can only hope that the US and the UK would oppose that move. The next few days will be critical for Russia and Western Europe.
