1. Genius

[dembotoz]

2. always amazed with the russian peoples ability to put up with suffering

Things that would make americans take to the streets and wail like rabid toddlers are just shrugged off.
Guess that is why alcohol consumption is so high there.

3. An Economic Pipsqueak Starts Trouble & Pays For It!

Hardly a surprise.
Quite the colossal miscalculation to start a war one cannot afford to fight.

4. I read that new Russian conscripts

have been given uniforms that are not even appropriate for winter weather.

5. Maybe Finland or Latvia will annex Russia

by decree and save it?

6. I wonder how many that have been draft will surrender once they hit the front?

either get killed by hardened soldiers or surrender to live another day...

I have a feeling many will throw down their arms

7. Putin will have special "blocking brigades" to shoot at anyone retreating or surrendering

just like Stalin in WWII
