sometimes you come across passages of text while reading and you just shake your head
“But there seems to be a movement aimed at reuniting one or more of the Baltic republics with their ancestral homeland.”
“Reunite? Does that mean that a state of the Commonwealth wants to invade the Baltics?”
“Apparently, there are important historical reasons for… reunifying the Baltic republics with certain community states,” Dvornikov observed. “After all, the Baltic states belonged to Russia even before the founding of the Soviet Union and were later closely linked to other states such as Belarus and the Ukraine.”

There is a lot of this going on right now guys, a large build up of f___es in Europe from UK to North American f___es. Sometimes I have the horrible feeling we are not being told everything and that there is a reason for building and gearing up of f___es with the expectation of an escalation in Europe. I really hope I am wrong because I tell myself that this is only sending a message to Putin as a show of strength.
Now that the World knows Russian soldiers can’t fight as expected, clearly European / NATO f___es would absolutely annihilate Russia on any battlefield ‘‘BUT’’ it makes me wonder if Putin really understands that a war with any NATO country would be suicidal? I think he knows this but how the hell is he going to get out of this conflict looking good? Because sadly he cares more about that than young Russian men’s lives being wasted in Ukraine every day.

Professors of Moscow’s Synergy University have been caught selling draft exemption certificates to men evading mobilisation, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti , citing the university’s press service. This information was also reported by the [Moscow Municipal News Agency], which cited police sources, and newspaper, which quoted the prosecutor general’s office.
“The management of the Synergy University has detected unscrupulous employees who were presumably selling draft exemption certificates for those wishing to evade partial mobilisation,” the press service said.
Sources of the Moscow Municipal News Agency have stated that 800 men were accepted to the university to get the corresponding certificate and evade mobilisation. The Moscow prosecutor’s office and the main police directorate carried out an inspection at the university.
“It was determined that they charged 180,000 rubles (€2,950) for a certificate at the university,” the agency source said.
Kommersant reports that several university professors were charged with fraud. Searches were carried out at the university and in the homes of the professors involved. The information on students who wished to evade mobilisation using this scheme was handed over to draft offices, the newspaper writes.
In early October, Russian President Vladimir Putin [signed] an order introducing draft exemptions for full-time university students, postgraduate students, medical residents, and students of religious educational organisations.
There is breaking news of a Russian army training camp massacre near Belgorod. Two trainees turned their guns on others at a firing range. Reports suggest at least 11 Russian soldiers have been k__led with many more injured. The two gunmen died from returning fire.

Russian media outlets are reporting terrorists are to blame
As specified in the Russian Defense Ministry, the terrorists opened fire with small arms on the personnel of the unit during a fire training session with persons who expressed a desire to participate in a special operation. “As a result of the shooting, 11 people were mortally injured. Another 15 people with injuries of varying severity were taken to a medical institution, where they are provided with all the necessary assistance,” the department noted, adding that both terrorists were k__led in return fire. Law enf___ement agencies are now working on the spot.
My news source was LBC and I think I know which version of events I believe
Who would have thought it, Russians turning on each other and getting k__led even before they get to Ukraine? That’s so wrong, depriving Ukrainian land of good fertilizer
The corruption of the university professors does not surprise me. I also suspect it was nothing to do with the moral supprt of Ukraine. Purely about the money.
The endemic corruption is one of the reasons the army has proved so ineffective. Armaments, clothing - all gone missing ,armaments left unserviced or not provided.
Corruption starts at the top .
Unfortunately its not all good news. Alright Russia is mobilizing more troops but lets not forget a lot more advanced weapons including more HIMARS are on their way to Ukraine too. This war is far from over because sadly Putin will not accept defeat. He would rather use every Russian man until there are none left and keep going until there is no more Russian b___d left to spill.
Hell won’t be full until Putin is in it!
