| Russian mobilised soldiers stage mutiny and hit back at Putin |
| 2022-10-24 |
| [YouTube] The Sun - Dozens of mobilised soldiers have staged an extraordinary mutiny telling how they have no respect for the authorities in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. A uniformed spokesman for the men is applauded by conscripts after he threatened the people should topple their rulers over the war in Ukraine. He berates an unseen commander or top official over the threats faced by conscripts called to war by the Kremlin dictator. The unnamed reservist mocks a policy in his region - the Tuva republic in Siberia - to gift a ram to each family of those mobilised. He says there are not enough walkie-talkies and no adequate socks for the men who have been in training ahead of being sent 3,200 miles to fight for Putin. |

| #2 Sounds like the Ethiopian mobilization when Il Duce invaded.. "All men between 16 and sixty will take their spears and march to meet the enemy". (or words to that effect) |
