The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I get the sense that 400,000 is not being drafted, and the problem of recruiting them has been dumped on the governors.

Russian army to be replenished with 400,000 new contract service personnel

Wh-what happened to the last 400,000?
Depends whom you ask.
According to the Kremlin, they are still valiantly fighting the forces of evil on the frontlines.

Other sources disagree slightly on that interpertration...
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Yes. The bad Boyars will no doubt engage in all kinds of excesses to fill their recruitment targets. Putin would likely look askance at their indifferent cruelty and incompetence ... if only someone would inform him.

Poland sending 4 MiG 29s to Ukraine shortly, with another 11 to 19 potentially coming in the not too distant future.

Good. This time last year when Poland initially floated that (and the US initially endorsed it), it apparently caused very serious, very alarmed messages to be sent from Beijing to Washington which resulted in the US doing a u-turn and stopping it.

Interesting to see we're at a stage where it's either not causing Chinese alarm or Washington's a little less concerned about it.
Let's bomb Russia!

Slovakia will also send thirteen MiG-29 to Ukraine.

Somewhat related, I have tickets for Roger Waters this Monday and I bet it's going to get really uncomfortable, since he's bound to make some idiotic "bad people on both sides" comment and people over here are massively pro-Ukrainian.

ICC put out an arrest warrant for putin.
Not sure how they work and this wasn't blocked but :)
