KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization of reservists in Russia on Wednesday, risking a deeply unpopular step that follows a string of humiliating setbacks for his troops nearly seven months after invading Ukraine.
It’s the first call-up in Russia since World War II and is sure to further fuel tensions with the Western backers of Ukraine, who derided the move as an act of weakness. The move also sent Russians scrambling to buy plane tickets out of the country.

Putin is no Krushchev and we saw how quickly he backed off when US might was stacked up against him. Plus Putin may have nukes but nothing like Krushchev had at his disposal.

I suspect that things are heating up as Russian warriors are being outmatched to a certain degree by the Ukraines forces.

1939 the NAZI rhetoric was that Germany wanted nothing more than to insure its own security and to lift off the yoke of oppression of peoples in what it considered its former territories. They stressed they wanted peace with all, but would respond with force to acts of aggression against them. What's next for Russia, a non-aggression treaty with China, followed by China's retaking of Taiwan, while Russia ramps up their action in Ukraine?
To a Chinese invasion of Taiwan we've promised a military response. Will this be in unison with ANZAC, Japan, and possibly S. Korea?
The nuclear threat??? Treat it as real, and put our assets on alert, it's prudent though I don't think a likely scenario. No win for anyone.
