RT: Russian Army getting enough recruits to form new regiment per day – Shoigu
The defense minister’s statement comes as Ukraine ramps up its conscription effort
The Russian Army is recruiting enough new personnel to complete the formation of its reserve force, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Thursday. Enough applicants are signing formal contracts with the ministry to form a new regiment every day, he added.
A total of 114,000 people have joined the Russian Armed Forces as contract servicemen to date, Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin at a Russian National Security Council session. An additional 52,000 people have joined the military ranks as volunteers, he said.

Update: 114,000 new servicemen, 246 destroyed tanks — Shoigu on special op progress (TASS)
WNU Editor: I expected a bigger number. But 114,000 signing formal contracts plus an additional 52,000 people joining the military ranks as volunteers is a large number.
This is the opposite on what is happening in Ukraine. In 2022 tens of thousands volunteered. No more now. Conscription is the rule now, and draft dodgers are being hunted down .... Ukrainian youth speak on war, social catastrophe: “The military is grabbing draft evaders everywhere” (WSWS).
Ok, we are ready for the WNU is a Putin stooge or that this article shows once again that he is pro russian. Blah Blah blah
ReplyDeleteor maybe...... just maybe
He is reporting the way things are?
No, cannot have that!!!! STOOOGE!!! TROLLLLLLLL
What a joke
So what? Who cares? Lots of pro Russians out there including me, a seven year, twice deployed US vet. If they had English speaking units, or if I find out about them, I’ll be there in a heartbeat. I have no faith left in the west. I’m 40 and doubt I’ll be able to retire here the way things are going.
DeleteNice article. Here is a part we in the States do not think about....
ReplyDeleteIn just over one year of war, the Ukrainian army has suffered an estimated 200,000 deaths or more. Considering the average rate of 4 wounded for 1 dead, this would indicate that another 800,000 people have been wounded. This would mean that, out of the pre-war population of just under 39 million, 0.5 percent have died in the war, and 2.6 percent have been killed or wounded.
If these ratios were applied to the US with its population of 332 million, the equivalent would be 1,660,000 million dead and 8,632,000 people killed or wounded.
An additional 8.5 million people have fled the country, leaving behind only 29 million,
The big ugly....the kid they interviewed is probably right. Most of the patriots, true believers and supporters are probably already in the Army or dead.
That leaves the "army of the unwilling"
Not a good senerio.
That 200k estimate was including wounded
DeleteThe Vindman Vindictive: The Destruction of Readiness by Military Betrayal
ReplyDeleteIn the midst of one of the worst recruiting droughts in recent military history, the U.S. Army will complete the betrayal of American trust begun by a JAG Lawyer by the name of Yevgeny Vindmin. Yes, that name sounds familiar because Yevgeny is the twin brother of Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, the key witness in the 2019 impeachment trial of President Donald J. Trump.
After being fired by the Trump White House from a key position at the National Security Council, Yevgeny Vindman found a landing spot as the top lawyer for Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, where the Army Public Health Center is located. Apparently out for vengeance for his perceived mal-treatment at the hands of the Trump Administration, he used his military position, his large social media following, and his command influence to push far-left political policies, particularly in the area of foreign relations and aggressive COVID-19 mitigation measures.
Not enough for him to simply encourage leftist policies, Vindman sought to punish service members under his charge who had religious objections and exercised their legal rights to refuse to go along with these leftist policies. The vindictive Vindman found his ideal victim in the form of one Lieutenant Mark Bashaw, an Army Public Health Officer stationed at the Army Public Health Center.
Bashaw’s duties at the Army Public Health Center included investigating potential risks to personnel from diseases and recommending risk mitigation strategies for his leadership to implement. Lieutenant Bashaw, an openly practicing Christian, was one of the first to identify the significant lies being perpetrated by the Army in the course of pushing various COVID-19 mitigation measures as safe and effective. When his leadership refused to listen to him, he became a congressional whistleblower and played a role in several investigations being run by Senator Ron Johnson. Knowing that the military masking and testing mandates were both ineffective and against the laws governing EUA products, Bashaw ultimately elected to exercise his legal right to refuse these products.
Aware of Bashaw’s Christian values from his Religious Accommodation Request, and seeing a potential political opportunity, Yevgeny Vindman sought to have Bashaw’s chain of command court-martial him for exercising of his rights. Nearly all JAG Lawyers knew the COVID-19 vaccine mandate was on such shaky legal grounds and that a conviction over a vaccine refusal would be nearly impossible. However, many left-leaning JAG Lawyers felt a court-martial conviction over masking and testing refusal was a much more likely outcome. On January 18, 2022, Vindman was finally successful in convincing Major General Robert Edmonson to order Bashaw’s court-martial.
ReplyDeleteOn April 29, 2022 Bashaw was found guilty by Judge Robert Cohen in the special court-martial ordered by General Edmonson. Judge Cohen, likely understanding the politically-charged nature of this court-martial and the national security implications of discharging the conservative Christians who opposed the unlawful COVID-19 mitigation measures, elected to award “no punishment” to Bashaw at sentencing. He then highlighted Bashaw’s outstanding character, 16 years of honorable service, and even recommended that General Edmonson drop all charges and reverse Bashaw’s conviction.
The Army refused to drop the charges. They then inflicted additional harm by attempting to involuntarily separate Bashaw based on the unjust and unlawful court-martial conviction alone. Not to be outdone, the vindictive Vindman took a very public victory lap at Bashaw’s expense. The day of the conviction Vindman tweeted to his nearly 90,000 Twitter followers, “Proud of the prosecution team at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Secured a first in the nation conviction at court-martial of a lieutenant who failed to obey lawful orders re COVID mitigation measures. Guilty on all 3 counts.” On May 4, 2022, Colonel Vindman also retweeted an Army Times article about First Lieutenant Bashaw and added, “Army officer convicted in first known COVID court-martial – Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum [Let Justice be done though the heavens fall].”
ReplyDeleteThere was no reason for a senior Army officer to publicize such a conviction except to win political points and attempt to justify a politicized policy. What this conviction also did was to put conservative Christians in the military on notice. Stand up for your religious convictions and your legal rights and the force of the federal government would be brought to bear against you.
After the trial, Bashaw’s defense team took note of Vindman’s politically unrestrained social media commentary and filed a motion to have Vindman recused. Instead, the defense team was told that Vindman, in a surprise move, had gone on terminal leave in preparation for his retirement. The vindictive Vindman essentially abandoned his post immediately after betraying his ethical obligations as an officer of the court and doing so at the expense of a conservative Christian junior officer just trying to do his job.
This Monday, June 26, 2023, if the Secretary of the Army Wormuth does not take immediate action, Lieutenant Bashaw will be involuntarily separated from the military after 17 years of honorable service. Bashaw will join the tens-of-thousands of other highly trained and morally courageous service members, who were unlawfully discharged for taking a stand in defense of the Constitution and their own legal rights. Most of these heroes received a vindictive general discharge from the military branches they had served so faithfully, making it incredibly difficult to obtain civilian employment and other benefits.
Despite a deepening recruiting crisis, the Biden Administration and the Department of Defense want nothing to do with these tens of thousands of service members. They have not been invited back even though the mandate they were kicked out over is no longer a requirement. The nefarious implication is chilling. The DoD wants only the malleable, the compliant, and those who will not stand up for constitutional or legal rights in their military. Readiness is no concern for those politicized leaders who wish to remake the military in their own political image. Although it will not be the first, it is the deepest betrayal of trust ever perpetrated by the DoD against the American people.
Coming this Independence Day, an explosive new tell-all book written by an Active Duty military officer and whistleblower will shed the light of truth on this entire sordid affair. The book, Defending the Constitution behind Enemy Lines, will detail Vindman’s actions as well as the unlawful actions perpetrated by numerous other DoD leaders these past three years. Lined with historical and legal analysis, the author tells the heartbreaking stories of those harmed by the DoD and how the military’s top leaders choose to prioritize their own careers rather than defending the Constitution as they swore to do.
The American people deserve a military they can trust. They have a right to know the truth. Trust cannot be restored until we right these wrongs and return to defending the Constitution rather than political narratives.

It is not a good scenario for you Russian trolls. Watch your ass. I suggest you buy a cup that covers balls and your ass as well.
It's OK, Wagner has turned , eventually even the most indoctrinated Russians see the truth.

ReplyDeleteSorry chum. War crimes are universal. There is no excuse for them. But you ain't stopping them either.
Your only hope is that Divine Justice gets them in the end.

ReplyDelete"Pearce McGee from the great state of Missouri
To the Show-Me State Militia I belong
And to judge from the pride on the Confederate side
I'd say five hundred thousand rebels can't be wrong
A rebel stand is no place for a traitor
A loveless union cannot bend us to her will
Cannot command the soldiers who now hate her
Nor demand a bounty of her generals"
Many good comments here. I'm happy to see more and more people seeing what happens.. the purposeful destruction of our wealth, culture, families, rights.
ReplyDeleteTheir goal.. the great reset. A totalitarian system similar to China's. They call it necessity for equity. In reality they do it so we don't kill them, hang them for all their crimes, theft, murder,...
I never believed in demons, but our leaders... whatever they are, their time on this world is up
