Now, the words and figures "with the exception of articles 2-c, 4-c, 5-c, 12-c, 13-c, 14-c, 17-c, 21-c and 22-c" have been removed from the Regulation, i.e. everyone will be recognised as fit under the "controversial" articles:

2-c – clinically treated tuberculosis;

4-c – viral hepatitis with minor functional impairment;

5-c – asymptomatic HIV carrier;

12-c - slowly progressive and non-progressive with minor functional impairment and rare exacerbations of anaemia, blood clotting disorders, purpura, haemorrhagic conditions, other diseases of the blood and haematopoietic organs, and some disorders involving the immune mechanism;

13-c - diseases of the endocrine system with minor functional disorders;

14-c - mild, short-term, painful manifestations of mental disorders;

17-c - neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders with moderate or short-term manifestations, with an asthenic state;

All these comments "wow they'll take anyone, they must be desperate."

meanwhile Russia has been desperate for manpower this entire time and barely has enough morale to have people fight. Lmfao

Ukraine:

closed border for all males;
non-stop involuntary draft of unwilling citizens;
resorts to conscripting HIV positives and people with mental health issues.

Russia:

first wave of forced mobilization ended half year ago, second wave still not started;
still has open border for most citizens (which actually helped a lot of them to avoid first wave of mobilization).

In alternative reality created by western massmedia this definately means that Russia is short of manpower. In world of logical thinking this actually means something else.

Russia did hire Wagner, who recruited from prisons, right?

That was like 20k people, and Russian army is estimated to be around 400k now.

[-] deft@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 year ago

Weird with 400k people they still can't get shit done and are being bombed on their own turf after failing an invasion with a consistent supply issue. Real weird.

[+] yogthos@lemmy.ml -16 points 1 year ago

Yeah, really weird how Russia is conserving its manpower by letting Ukraine deplete the army the west helped put together and arm for three months. I wonder what will happen once Ukraine depletes its military resources in the coming months. Gotta love all the arm chair generals opining on things they have no clue about. Here, read what an actual military expert has to say on the subject. Maybe you'll learn something, but I doubt it. https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/whats-ahead-war-ukraine

read it.

December 22, 2022. Literally almost a year old.
Talks about manpower, likely 3 million draftable men in Ukraine, fails to acknowledge that as the county being invaded they don't only draft men. There are far more than the 400k (HIGHLY UN)willing Russian ~~meat shields~~ soldiers.
Mentions Russian firepower might, doesn't acknowledge with outdated weapons.
Article was written before Ukrainian counter offensive, before Ukraine landed shots on Russian soil and before F-15s.

nice trash you got there kid can i shit on it more? oh I can? thanks.

that's an article from a Pro Russian website.

Russia is LITERALLY trafficking people because their own soldiers won't fight. 400k fighting force? More like nada.

Lick my sack boy, fondle them with your wanna-be silver tongue you CCP pussy bitch.

nice trash you got there kid can i shit on it more? oh I can? thanks.

I love how this imbecile reads an article by U.S. Lt. Col. Alex Vershinin retired after 20 years of service, including eight years as an armor officer with four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and 12 years working as a modeling and simulations officer in NATO and U.S. Army concept development and experimentation, and calls it trash.

Everything the article predicts is currently happening.

Meanwhile, not sure what you think the relevance of your article is here. However, attributing thought to you may be too generous.

You are an utter imbecile and life is going to get very hard for you in the near future. Enjoy being smug while you can though.

uncomfortable for me? I'm not the one living paycheck to paycheck off Russian and Chinese propaganda lol

year old article.

let's see today.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/world/europe/cuba-russia-war-human-trafficking.html

again, trafficking for soldiers. still no comment? bad look imo.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/04/arnold-ukraine-counteroffensive-united-states-weapons/

"Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Arnold, by contrast, isn’t the least bit surprised at the slow pace of the advance — and he’s blaming the Americans, not the Ukrainians....

...June 23, at the very start of the counteroffensive, he emailed me: “I remain very skeptical that a decisive battle will occur this year that makes a material effect toward Ukrainian victory. That can happen next summer when the majority of maneuver equipment arrives from NATO into Ukraine.”

So this guy seems to think once equipped it is GG? And since we only are pumping more equipment that way, it really just continues the way it has for Russia. Pound for pound Ukraine has done more to Russia, yes Russia has more soldiers and a larger population or GPD.

Yet when we look at the actual situation. Russia has failed to take anything significant, they estimated a win by now. Why no win?

Now an entrenched populace, being further armed and personally fueled to fight faces kidnapped Cubans, Russian criminals and force conscripts.

Which is why Russia is losing because simply put as we Americans say, you can lead a horse to water but ya can't make him drink.

Weird, out of all the territory Russia held, Ukraine has reclaimed 54% of it. WOW that is more than half golly, in less than half the time too gee whiz.

And now they're being equipped with only more weapons?? And Russia is pleading to Iran and North Korea and China for weapons? Hm.. thought Russia had a bigger arsenal.
