They allies need to be even more careful now that they are so obviously facing a desperate person, flailing.

mobilization or merely activating reserves and inactive reserves. 300,000 supposedly and up to age 50.. I just don't see how that's going to work out well for Russia.. Kinda hails back to World War 1 with thousands thrown into the cauldron to die...

25,000,000 reservists ? This is getting messy. Pushing Putin into a corner might not be a good idea , after all we all agree he's nuts.

Flights out of Russia have quadrupled over the last week or so since Putins call up plan ... yes he is nuts but is he crazy enough to use Nukes ??? .. Im of the mind the answer to that is yes , he may get assassinated by his own people continuing on this course of action.

As we did in the late sixties, learning to bend over and kiss your behind goodbye, might be an exercise we should all start doing, For those of us who will find that impossible then sitting in a garden chair drinking quadruple tots of your favourite tipple while saying Oh S*** numerable times might also work ....hahaha

President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday morning announced a “partial mobilization” in Russia to replenish the ranks of a “special military operation”.

In the past several hours, flights out of Moscow have skyrocketed in price, with some carriers charging as much as $16,000 a ticket to travel to Dubai. And that’s on one of the few flights still available: All planes to visa-free countries were completely sold out, according to the Russian news portal RBC.

Please Mr. Putin, I don't wanna go.
(they were sure of victory, the men of the Red army, as they rode on)
(but then from the rear a voice was heard)
(that same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am I doin' here?

He is pretty close to the end right now. Nothing much more to lose if Ukraine mounts another successful counter attack, could push him over the edge.

Noos ..dont agree i reckon he would use some sort of short range nukes in the region ..but maybe not a biggie targeted elsewhere further afield... being a tad selfish im guessing Udonthani isnt one the targets on his list BUT i may be wrong.

Unlikely scenario.

Q. What will the Allies response be to a few low-yield, regional nukes?

A. Putin's worst nightmare. Afterwards it will take a hundred years to rebuild Moscow.

Not to worry, our skies are protected by the PLAAF.

Earlier, the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta had reported - citing an unnamed government source - that the redacted section allowed for a call-up of up to a million people, rather than the reported 300,000.
Sanctioned former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich played a "key part" in the release of five men held by Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine, a report said on Friday.
The freed prisoners were flown to the Saudi capital Riyadh on Wednesday after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took part in negotiations.

Funny enough it was the same back in march when Ukrainians were fleeing. Don't blame them much because who wants to die for someone else's political doctrine. Mind you with up to 25,000,000 reservists Russia isn't going to run out of men soon.
