Russia has a 100% globalist government: that is the simple truth of the matter. This is demonstrated by the fact that Putin's government followed exactly the same Covid and 'vaccines' scam, along with vaccine passes, that the globalist criminals ruling all Western governments. Russian Ministers said absolutely identical things as the globalist puppet Ministers of all Western governments about the 'Covid crisis' and the 'Covid vaccines, at exactly the same time, from Day 1 of the 'Covid crisis', and all through the fake 'Covid vaccines' operation. Putin's Health Minister, all of his Ministers and indeed Putin himself have openly showed that they are slavishly pro the WHO, who are in fact a Global Government operating in the shadows.
One thing that people need to think through and understand is that the current wholly deliberate destruction of European (particularly) and Western economies by Western governments, using sky high energy prices as the means of achieving that, could NOT have been achieved without Putin's invasion of Ukraine to serve as the pretext for the sanctions supposedly against Russia but actually against the West - which enabled Western governments to drive energy prices through the roof.
Also, the timing of Putin's invasion of Ukraine to provide the pretext for driving energy prices through the roof, so as to destroy European economies and industrial bases, was absolutely crucial: they had to get energy prices sky high during the Summer, so that European industry and populations will be subjected to crippling energy shortages during the coming Winter.
So - either you believe that Putin is in bed with the globalist cabal of the WEF et al who are using sky high energy prices to precipitate and economic and financial crisis and collapse this Winter - or you believe that he is incredibly gullible, and was manipulated into invading Ukraine at exactly the time that the globalist cabal needed him to do that.
The question in my mind is, has Putin decided to switch sides, with this mobilization - or is he merely responding to popular pressure within the Russian population, who without this mobilization might have started to seriously suspect that Putin is working for the global cabal?
The cabal does not need a big war in Ukraine - which is a key money-laundering and power centre for the cabal, including Soros et al. They only needed Putin to invade Ukraine, and to have a little war which would justify their pretend sanctions against Russia - but which are actually aimed at destroying European industry.
Personally, I find it difficult to believe that Putin and his 100% globalist government can have switched sides to oppose the globalist cabal: even if Putin wanted to do that, it would be extremely difficult for him, with every member of his government slavishly supporting the globalist / Bill Gates-controlled criminals running the WHO.
Let's see if Europe will really freeze in the coming winter, and whether the European economy will decline, or is it just the forecasts of propagandists. So far, reality shows us that Europe has not frozen yet and its economy has not collapsed.
> Pre-war Russia’s military only had about 200,000 slots that were kept empty and that were to be filled in case of a major war through mobilization. For example, during peacetime mortar teams don’t really need the 3rd crewman, artillery guns don’t need the 6th and 7th crewman, and ammo trucks don’t need assistant drivers. But in war, all of these become enormously useful, critical even. (How the SMO dealt with this was often through consolidation, instead of mixed kontraktniki-conscript-mobiki teams called for by doctrine it created fewer kontraktniki-only teams.)
The bit above is interesting. I had the impression the additional troops would be used to beef up the Russian presence in Ukraine in terms of new divisions that would balance Ukrainian current numerical superiority. So to create again the conditions to resume the offensive in the Donbass with a proper reserve to exploit the breakthroughs. The prerequisite for this is an adequate output of materiel to go along with it: artillery, munitions, heavy vehicles to make the new divisions effective.
What's the word in that regard? Do they have a Tankograd in the Urals properly set up?
I had read that only reservists with combat experience would be called to arms. Was that wrong? I'm wondering how many reservists are there with actual combat experience. Sure, there are some veterans from Syria, but 300000?
Do not forget that Serdyukov has not been the Minister of Defense of Russia for 10 years. This is a very long time. 2012, when he was fired, is already history. In those blessed times compared to today, Putin became president again after the temporary rule of Medvedev, Obama became president for the second time, and Hollande became president in France.
If Serdyukov made mistakes, what prevented them from being corrected in 10 years, even if the errors did not come to light immediately? What prevented from correcting the course of SMO since April 2022 and even then to mobilize? Or at least use this time to prepare for it, checking stocks of weapons and equipment?
I have no optimism. I am afraid that Russia is facing a severe crisis that will change the ruling stratum. Maybe there will be something like the events with the end of the Crimean War in the middle of the XIX century. It is interesting, by the way, the comparison of the characters of Nicholas I and Putin. But, do not forget that these are just empty guesses.
For example: "The most serious mistake of Nicholas I was that he forbade society to evaluate the work of bureaucracy. No one, except the immediate superiors, could not only criticize, but even praise officials."

Remember what General Smedley Butler said.
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one
international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in
lives.
