You know its desperate times for Russia when:
  • Putin scraps age limit: The Russian President has signed a law scrapping the upper age limit for Russians and foreigners to join the military as contract service members, according to Russian state news agency TASS. Russia’s State Duma passed the bill on Wednesday but Putin's signature was needed for it to become law. Previously, citizens aged 18 to 40 and foreigners aged 18 to 30 could enlist in the Russian military.
I'm sure this is just Russias way to not discriminate people based on age and to allow them to participate in the extreme "winning" of their military.


It's 7 a.m. in Kyiv. Here's what you need to know

Nope. But the Amish live by a medieval anapabist-esque ideology. Are you claiming Russians are willingly living in the distant past as well?

Did I say all Russians? Russia has the 8th largest number of internet users in the world. Their access to the internet overall is just fine.

The Amish are free to live by whatever ideology they want. As are some of the groups and people in Russia who might want to live by a more traditional ideology. Does it bother you if people want to live a more traditional lifestyle? Should they be forced by their government to "adapt"?

ISW:

The Russian invasion of Ukraine that aimed to seize and occupy the entire country has become a desperate and bloody offensive to capture a single city in the east while defending important but limited gains in the south and east. Ukraine has twice forced Putin to define down his military objectives. Ukraine defeated Russia in the Battle of Kyiv, forcing Putin to reduce his subsequent military objectives to seizing Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine stopped him from achieving that aim as well, forcing him to focus on completing the seizure of Luhansk Oblast alone. Putin is now hurling men and munitions at the last remaining major population center in that oblast, Severodonetsk, as if taking it would win the war for the Kremlin. He is wrong. When the Battle of Severodonetsk ends, regardless of which side holds the city, the Russian offensive at the operational and strategic levels will likely have culminated, giving Ukraine the chance to restart its operational-level counteroffensives to push Russian forces back.

Lol. You made the Amish comparison. You need to go back to Russian Troll School and get some refresher courses because you're doing it terribly.

New reports confirmed that Ukrainian forces conducted a successful limited counterattack near the Kherson-Mykolaiv oblast border on May 28, forcing Russian forces onto the defensive. This Ukrainian counterattack is likely intended to disrupt Russian efforts to establish strong defensive positions along the Southern Axis. While the Ukrainian counterattack does not appear likely to retake substantial territory in the near term, it will likely disrupt Russian operations and potentially force Russia to deploy reinforcements to the Kherson region, which is predominantly held by sub-standard units. Ukrainian counterattacks may additionally slow Russian efforts to consolidate administrative control of occupied southern Ukraine.[1]

Russian forces continued to assault Severodonetsk on May 29 but did not make any confirmed advances; Russian progress in intense urban combat will likely be slow. The Russian campaign in eastern Ukraine—which previously aimed to capture the entirety of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts—is now focused almost entirely on Severodonetsk. Russian troops are unlikely to be able to conduct multiple simultaneous operations and will likely further deprioritize advances southeast of Izyum and west of Lyman in favor of concentrating available forces on Severodonetsk in the coming days.

Key Takeaways
  • Russian forces continued attempts to take full control of Severodonetsk.
  • Russian forces continued offensives southeast of Izyum but did not make any confirmed advances toward Slovyansk.
  • Russian forces continued offensive operations to cut Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) northeast of Bakhmut and appear unlikely to attempt to directly assault the city.
  • The Ukrainian counteroffensive in northwestern Kherson Oblast has forced Russian troops to take up defensive positions and will likely disrupt Russian efforts to effectively dig in and consolidate control of occupied areas along the Southern Axis.

You know that will take some brokers, tokers, and facilitators ... with cuts to the big guys. Joe's kid has a future; he can quit pretending to be an artist. You can almost feel the charter flights ferrying congress critter kids to Ukraine.

Institute for the Study of War. Such a non partisan organization that they decided to have well known neocons like Bill Kristol on their board.

What are you even trying to do here volgr? Why do you love Russia and hate America so much? It seems like you would be much happier in their system than any in the West. You might even thrive over there. I will buy you and your immediate family a one way ticket to Moscow if you will go and not come back...ever. Of course you will have to go through China or North Korea. Now that I think about it you may fare pretty well in North Korea too.

Paid Russian troll. They do go to such lengths as to infiltrate a site like Volnation. They go to where the web traffic is. He is trying to graduate to Youtube and Reddit.

LMAO. Apparently that more access hasn't helped you much.

So I guess we need to ensure Amish people have access to the internet even if they don't want it? Would you like the government to force them to have it?

Hmmmm..You'll never graduate from your current grade in Russian Troll school if you can't keep up with your lies Comrade!

WOW... just WOW. So Trump is to blame for the Afghanistan debacle and for Russia taking over Donbas/Eastern Ukraine?

The Donald and the Kremlin Don: how Trump’s toxic legacy helps Putin | Simon Tisdall
Twenty years of nation-building, at a cost of tens of thousands of US, British and Afghan lives, were blown away in a few shameful days. Johnson and Raab should have resigned then, but didn’t. There’s still time, guys.

The report of the US special inspector general (Sigar) blamed the calamity on Trump as well as his successor, Joe Biden, and the then Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani.
