Russia & Ukraine

Good news for young Russian men. Although the Spring round-up for new conscripts is in progress, the Russian government has offered assurances that none of the conscripts will be sent to "the special miliary operation." Wow. Thank the Lord for that. And that comes from the government so they can count on it.

I hope they did not mean -instead- to offer assurances that they won't be coming back from the special military operation rather than that they won't be going- because that's kind of a different concept altogether.

Explainer: How does conscription work in Russia?

Also, and maybe the wokesters will tell me that I am not being culturally sensitive, but what's up with that stupid-arse hat that the doctor is wearing in one of those pictures. Another graduate of Chef Boyardee School of Medicine in Vladivostok or what? Take that ridiculous fucking hat off. dumphuk.

Conscription is awesome. If you’re lucky enough to only be maimed, instead of dead, you get a bag of buckwheat and a card from Putin!

Alexander Sosnovsky, a known Russian propagandist who fancies himself a "German journalist" but most of his income comes from being on Russian Channel 1 propaganda TV shows, published this:

The German Social-Democrat party prepared a proposed peace plan for Russian-Ukranian conflict:

1. Russia returns to Feb 24 borders.
2. Ukraine agrees to LDNR in the Feb 24 borders
3. Ukraine agrees that Crimea is Russian
4. Russia pays reparations
5. Ukraine agrees not to join NATO
6. US, Turkey, China, France guarantee the agreement.

I don't think this is realistic, especially point 2, Crimea could be agreed to be leased by Russia I guess. But what is really significant is not the plan itself but who posted it. The extremely pro-Russian paid propagandist.

Where you get all you knowledge. I don't see a tent or a bicycle.

I have a bottle of cider for my three cheese and pickle sandwich. Better than corporal no-leg-Russian.

How is this any of China's business such that their agreement would be required.?

It is a given that Russia needs to get the approval of their masters but they can work that offline with them.

Aside from the many other issues, the Ukrainians need to be careful that a settlement does not create pre-texts for future invasions by others. Such as China asserting that it is only helping to enforce the terms of some agreement, and not there to help Russia. Yeh, right. OR NOT.

Their agreement for what? They'd be the guarantor of the agreement.

Anyway, as I said it is not the point, since this is all completely theoretical. The point is how a Russian propagandist publishes a "peace plan" that completely humiliates Russia. And it really is the best they can get.

Yeh, I get that and my point remains the same.

I would not want by legitimize any actions by China where they are able act under the pretense of just enforcing/acting as guarantor of the agreement.
