>Igor Girkin, also known by his nom de guerre Strelkov, is a former FSB colonel >in 2014, he was one of the rebel leaders who took control of the splitting of the Crimean, Donetsk, and Lugansk territories from Ukraine >Strelkov was relieved of the post as Donetsk's military commandant after criticizing Russia's strategy when they ordered him to fall back with his troops from already captured positions >he argued that in 2014 the initiative was on Russia's side and that Putin should've pushed to take over Ukraine, and that Russia carelessly squandered the opportunity >since then, he has been saying that submitting Ukraine is a tall feat, which only grows the more time passes >according to him, the Russian advance has stalled thanks to logistical and tactical blunders by the Russian leadership >he thinks only a general Russian mobilization can prevent a Russian strategical defeat and army redraw that in itself will most likely cause a bloody civil war
Strelkov has been a very dividing figure ever since his involvement in Donbas. People claim he's manic-depressive and bitter, but what do you think about his analysis?
Can't wait for all these soviet-era brainwashed commie boomers to die off, they are literally destroying Russia.
Imagine actually wanting to send more young men into a worthless meat grinder while your country is already collapsing under demographic issues.
But let me guess, he wants to send young white russians to die and import churka and central asian shitskiins to balance out the demographics.
Austin Rogers
All you need to know is that Strelkov didn't win any major battles in Donbass, and was ejected from the war by his own subordinates
Bentley Rivera
i dont think he gets it. the war was never about winning, it's about fighting a war. the goal is to destroy russia and ukraine.
Dominic Butler
We'll see what happens within a month. But i honestly don't see how russia can turn this around at this point
Joseph Davis
Sounds about right. When they took Crimea, they had a chance to take Ukraine as well since Obama was a cia glow nigger who would never do anything about it and was not respected internationally. Now it's a major shitshow since they haven't taken in within a week or 2
Noah Ward
is it better to turn men into fat fucks or trannies? Let's be honest, if a man has no children, he is worse than being dead in a war.
Christopher Edwards
Strelkov has been nothing more than a bitter pessimistic loser since 2014. He was responsible for the separatists losing Sloviansk and he's been irrelevant ever since. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.
>On the night of 4–5 July, during a large-scale offensive by the Ukrainian military following the end of a 10-day ceasefire on 30 June, Girkin and his militants fled from Sloviansk, which was then captured by Ukrainian forces, thus ending the separatist occupation of the city which had started on 6 April. Shortly before this, a video was posted on YouTube in which Girkin desperately pleaded for military aid from Russia for "Novorossiya" ("New Russia", an historical name for South-East Ukraine with particular popularity amongst separatists) and said Sloviansk "will fall earlier than the rest." Other rebel leaders denied Girkin's assessment that the people's militia were on the verge of collapse. One of them, the self-proclaimed "people's governor" of Donetsk Pavel Gubarev, compared Girkin to the 19th century Russian general Mikhail Kutuzov, claiming that both "Strelkov" and Kutuzov would "depart only before a decisive, victorious battle."

He's a brilliant warrior, and he's based and redpilled too. He should be the president of Russia, not that hedonistic moron Putin.
Oliver Anderson
He is right except about mobilization. It would be exactly the mobilization that would cause civil war as half of the mobilized would point their guns on the leadership. Thats why they can not do it. Most Russians do not support this war and if they would be forced to fight they would pick the real enemy to fight against.
Nathaniel Peterson
War builds character. If an Aryan does not want to fight he should not exist. Don't worry, he's advocating for a general draft, so churkas would be drafted too. Chechens are already disproportionally represented in Ukraine.
Christopher Jackson
>It would be exactly the mobilization that would cause civil war It wouldn't, everybody is too scared of the government.
Joshua Hernandez
The average Russian citizens are still largely unaffected by the west sanctions, but the current situation will change quickly. He's saying that a military defeat and a struggling economy could be a higher risk for civil disobedience than a mobilization now.
Ryan Sanchez
Putin will not mobilize and give guns to people. They are not so scared with riffle in hand.
Dominic Evans
>don't mobilize people and lose the war. Russia collapses >mobilize people and have an armed revolution. Russia collases gg
Kayden Reyes
Starting from the age of 14, he only does what he whines and predicts a general defeat. He said many times about Syria that we are losing literally in every battle there, and none of his predictions came true. He's literally nobody right now and he has no more information than we do.
Colton Phillips
Thats just the reason for hiring all the Arab mercenaries he can find. Russians he can not trust.
Jack Wilson
You vastly overestimate Russians. You should read up on the Chechen war.
Michael Fisher
Hunger and belief that you are being sent to a losing war trump oppression. The fear of certain death is stronger than the fear of probably death.

>he thinks only a general Russian mobilization can prevent a Russian strategical defeat and army redraw that in itself will most likely cause a bloody civil war
> invade the largest country in Europe after yours with 250000 soldiers in peace time without a general mobilization > Wonder why you are stuck unabme to encircle the capital o takę any major city except herson after a month
Lol that thing was the biggest russian mistake. Trying to pull off an invasion of a country the size of ukraine as some secretive z special op your own population isnt supposed to notice until its done
