Just as an aside, two nights ago I had a dream that 'they' came to my house to tell me that I was being called back into the military.  I blew up and was saying "Are you kidding me?  I'm over fifty fuckin years old!"  I was pissed off enough that it woke me up and thus is why I remembered that part of the dream.

Another thing I remembered is that the most credible information about the actual Russian forces right before the 'special military operation' indicated that they would not have enough to do much against Ukraine (which did indeed have a fairly large and capable military.)  Coupled with the absurd lies and obvious stagecraft propaganda barrage from Kiev, I went through a brief period of doubt about whether there even was an 'invasion' at all.  At least outside of the Donbas.  When it became apparent that yes, there was indeed stuff going on, it was easy for me to hypothesize that it would be sensibly limited and I did not make the mistake that pros (Ritter, McGregor, etc) did that the Russian aims would be traditionally doctrinal.  There simply didn't seem to be the force setup to do so.

What seems to be happening now is that the Poles are 'helping' with the depletion of Ukrainian warm bodies, but with the underlying intent of having pre-possitioned forces when the country is partitioned.  While the Ukriod territorial defense and conscript souls are heavily dead, there are still plenty of ultra-nationalist NaZionist formations.  Because their jobs (terrorizing and executing civilians, shooting RA soldiers who wish to quite, etc) are generally safer than facing the Russian, they have better survivability.  I've heard reports of instances where the Polish 'volunteers' who are already miffed about being in the East rather than the Western parts of Ukraine (aka, 'future Poland') are resisting the NaZionist forces pushing them into suicidal attacks.  They resist more forcefully than do their Ukroid cannon-fodder counterparts, and there have actually been battles between they and the 'Kraken' types.
