@INFO_Disclosed @snekotron Three months of basic training would be useless for canon fodder trench warmers. They're skipping to a quick and dirty soldier qualification. These guys don't need to know how to shine boots, do drill or make sure their toothbrush is alligned perfectly for inspection.
@RWApodcast If I was living in the West, working, busy in the evenings, knew nothing about war, Ukraine or Russia, and got my news from the radio in the car or an occasional social media headline, I would sincerely believe Ukraine is winning the war. Most people are like that.
@SpeedBird_199 @DirtyArabia @RWApodcast I'm imagining for the first time the strange possibility of Poland trying to "merge" Galicia into one national entity. Polo-Galicia instead of Austro-Hungary.
Highly unlikely due to Ukie ultranationalism but an interesting idea.
@Delicious_Tacos Always slightly annoyed on your behalf when people lump you into the "right wing", even though I'm sure you don't really care at this point
@Peter_Nimitz@Chewi_lee@CityBureaucrat Having lots of men is important, but having lots of men is different from having lots of officers, NCOs and men with high morale. The deeper you reach into a pool of reserves, the fewer of those things you find.
@CityBureaucrat Perpetually oscillating between "Everyone looks like shit and it's undignified" and "I just want to grab a fucking bite in my sweats, blow it out your ass" on a minute to minute basis
