The military summary channel which is the best source out there

Has been saying for a few weeks now that they expect Russia to fully mobilise. Because the captured areas, the front lines and rebuilding are becoming such a huge task. They thought a few weeks back it was going to happen in July.

Last week Putin went to the Duma to ask for full industrial mobilisation and got it. That is a prelude to full mobilisation. Basically means any industry or company when asked to provide for the effort has to do so.

It is a kinda catch 22 as Putin is trying to drag it out until the winter for obvious reasons and told the battalions that took Lugansk to rest and take a break and regroup.


Yet, to complete his goals because Ukraine is so big he will have to through more resources at it.

On that basis Ritter could end up being right on the full mobilisation call. Mark Sleboda who I also like who is an IR & Security Analyst, Senior Lecturer in IR & Security Studies MGU 2012-14, LSE postgrad, Climate Change, US Navy vet-Nuclear Engineering.

Backed Ritter up on that call when he said it at that time.

Of course it is and NATO been saying it for months run from Washington.


Oh the joys you get from reading history books.

The hunt goes on for inflation truthers ?


A witch hunt more like. As they try and rewrite history to suit the mainstream narrative.

Medieval Europe was heavily agricultural. If their mild climate, courtesy of the Gulf stream, remains intact, farming may well be their main occupation.
