Re: Vladimir Putin Signs Military Doctrine Naming NATO As Top Threat
You couldnt be further from the truth my friend.  For one, I was born in Romania, under Ceausescu. Remember him? So I know a little bit about growing up in a socialist country ok? with shortages, and shops full of fresh air. We were fortunate; we lived in a state workers apartment, my father was a mechanic. We were the lucky ones. Its wrong to assume, you know? you couldnt be more wrong.

Putin just signed a decree, allowing foreign fighters and contractors into his ranks. Or revised the old RFL- |

Its unlimited resources of fighters on an international level. The French has done it for nearly 200 years, and people from all over the world constantly beg to get in. http://rt.com/news/219563-putin-army...s-contractors/ |

Going against cannon fodder infantry isn't anything nice though. The FFL stands out the most in french military in history, because they were just that.

Re: Vladimir Putin Signs Military Doctrine Naming NATO As Top Threat
Saturday, January 3, 2015 Window on Eurasia: Putin Allows Foreigners to Serve in Russian Military Paul Goble Staunton, January 3 – In a move that reflects both Russia’s demographic problems and Moscow’s desire to restore an imperial relationship with its neighbors, Vladimir Putin yesterday issued a decree that will allow citizens of foreign countries who know Russian to serve in the Russian military. According to Putin’s decree, any citizen of another country above the age of 18 can be incuded in the ranks of the Russian army on a contract basis and can be used in military operations (mk.ru/politics/2015/01/03/putin-razreshil-inostrancam-sluzhit-v-rossiyskoy-armii-rekrut-dolzhen-znat-russkiy-yazyk.html). The decree which went into force at the time of its signing specifies that such a foreign citizen can apply either to the military commissariat where he is registered or “directly into a military unit,” the latter arrangement opening the way to potential abuses of the kind that the Russian Soldiers Mothers Committees have reported on in the past. The applicant must know Russian, the decree says, and cannot be charged with a crime or be at risk of incarceration if a judgment is rendered against him, presumably a protection for the Russian military against the possibility that individuals might join up and then be subject to recall by their governments in such instances. The new arrangement will help the Russian military fill its manpower requirements in the coming years when the number of Russians in the prime draft age cohort is projected to decline, and it will allow Moscow to begin to include men from allied countries within its own army, setting the stage for new moves toward greater integration of the post-Soviet space. Despite those compelling reasons, Putin’s decision to issue the decree now is somewhat surprising. Two months ago, a proposal along many of the same lines by Duma deputy Roman Khudyakov of Zhirinovsky’s LDPR party was sharply criticized by other deputies and experts (vestikavkaza.ru/news/V-Rossii-poyavilsya-svoy-Inostrannyy-legion.html). |

Re: Vladimir Putin Signs Military Doctrine Naming NATO As Top Threat
best soldiers in the world..... one of the reasons there is so much trauma among those men is the fact that they are used to clean up and control incidents that soldiers wouldn't normally be used for such as airplane accidents or massacres....in africa where the majority of them are stationed there is no-one else to do that work. |

Re: Vladimir Putin Signs Military Doctrine Naming NATO As Top Threat
That's why they have in their "retirement" regiment, men in their late forties, and fifties wondering the vinyards like lost souls. They have gotten more "modern" or even a bit more PC in their practices, but still a brutal existence. Amazingly enough, they turn more people away in one day, than the U.S army does in a month. |
