Archives Russia s Special Military Operation - Page 22 of 39 - New Eastern Outlook

On the evening of August 11, my companion and I were watching a Russian series about World War Two, Staying Alive, dealing with the first days of the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1941. It’s an excellent dramatic work depicting the reality of the war and what it meant for the Soviet people. I highly recommend it. You can find it on the Internet. But what, you may ask, has this to do with anything?

It is time for Russia to fully mobilize against the nagging threat posed by the NATO-backed Ukrainian state. President Putin’s pragmatic approach to keeping NATO off Russia’s borders will undoubtedly be shifted given the recent Ukraine Army incursions at Kursk. Many of us suspected it would come to this. Russia must crush the Kyiv-NATO experiment down the tubes.

As Reuters tells it, Russian President Vladimir Putin is draining the state’s coffers to pay volunteers to aid the special military campaign in Ukraine. The Western media claims praying signup bonuses will “create imbalances in the overheated economy.” Meanwhile, in the U.S., recruiters are recommending reinstituting press gangs just to fill quotas for the world’s biggest military. A short comparison here should be a wake-up call for people living in NATO countries.
