Smaller stores here are usually the ones who can afford the least security. I don't know how expensive a security guy is in Russia. Architectural security seems to be cheaper here compared to a guy. They might have a sensor at the exit for cheap RFID tags in the items. There's a decorative concrete thing that also doubles as a car block so you can't drive a vehicle through the front window. And they don't handle cash as much any longer.

@@TaskPurpose1stSquad Police in Cold War Europe could have funky auxiliary roles in the old mobilization plans. Some nations had provisions for pressing police units into a paramilitary or security role. Police could be pressed to guard a rear site against sabotage or manage internal refugees or volunteer for partisan warfare. They planned to raise reserve police to fill out the ranks, which would be supervised by the regular police. They tried to plan out how municipal services would work during a soviet occupation, like how the town council should act if the soviet block went Red Dawn. The mobilization plans assumed a risk that some NATO territory would fall under, hopefully temporary, soviet control.

When I was in the gas chamber, we had to breath in the CS gas and talk with an officer for 1 minute and the ones that panicked and ran out, had to do it again another day. The officers also at times dumped CS gas on us while training fighting in trenches, bunkers and buildings as well. Even at times when we had no gas masks with us during training. Some in my platoon really started to hate both the CS gas and our officers because of this. And the CS gas we got exposed to rather frequently was much worse than all the hard training, heavy lifting and carrying, lack of sleep, lack of food, cold, heat, being wet for hours, the never ending waiting, all sorts of orders and counter orders and much more. But all the training, included the CS gas, made everything later feel like a vacation compared with the training period.

Not in gory detail, but news reels wouldn't try to hide the casualty figures or shots of marines face down in sand. They thought it was necessary to prepare both the GIs waiting to ship out and the home front for more of these events to come so it wouldn't be a jolting shock to them when the next atoll or little rock was up.

Walmart closed their stores in Chicago, saying not one of them has turned a profit in the seventeen years they've been open; that's saying something, considering that to get a contract to sell through Walmart, manufacturers have to initially supply every store opening that year free-of-charge. That means every store is in the black from day one. The metal baton just means Russian private security are allowed a higher threshold on use-of-force, or a different scale entirely more likely.

It's not worth it for them to have a security bloke standing there full time to watch bread or veggies. At night they have their schedule of rounds. One car with one or sometimes two guys will drive between sites or respond to alarms. They're not there to catch people in the act, but to check for signs of tampering or fires and log it.

That was how they recruited all armies in Europe in the early modern period. The army is a place for scum, jobless chumps and vagrants. Being fit enough to march around Europe is the primary requirement. You got paid better than a work-house or day labour but not so much that anyone with a real job would ever want that life. Officers are an entire world apart with a lifestyle a trooper could never dream of. That and people who aren't connected enough to escape the system. Like russian middle-class peeps who knows the right private clinic that will give you a medical discharge. Like you can't change the state but you can be individually smart enough to avoid it. There was a single train line operating between Russia and the EU, into Finland. That was always crowded with russians who suddenly needed a vacation. How important is that in the USA in comparison? Like when western journalists get a glimpse on their lists and it's a disproportionate amount of people from the poorest federal republics. Is there similar places in the USA where the armed forces is the best ticket out? Most of the USA are pretty insulated from the consequences of the US expeditionary wars.

It's not a super unique set of cuts. The same kind of ads ran here as well. Civvies doing civvie things like standing at the bus listening to a smartphone. Then a cut to them in kit, maybe jogging on an exercise or operating a platoon radio. Maybe a little twist, like them walking a little dog and picking litter and then jogging in kit with a military canine. The ones were were gentler on the civvie life. Like it's okay not to become a lifer, most of you are going back in reserve to walk the dog and stuff. And less macho, best-of-the-best and more we need everyone even you. Countries with mandatory service couldn't offer a career, good pay or useful civilian skills the same way. They could focus more on duty than self-fulfillment. The armed forces need relatively few instructors, officers, specialists and pilots as lifers but most are going to be reservists that filter through basic and some specialty and then back to the same chump job. And even when you can literally send a letter ordering people to show up you need to have them and the general population mentally prepared.

But Russia knows that they will not have to pay many of those troops as many are dying and it is harder for a dead soldier's relatives to collect benefits that a live soldier, and there are many soldiers.

It just shows 19 year olds with heavy machinery that they can run around like camp is a high school main ground. Sometimes it's that kind of people the armed forces try to filter out during induction and basic before they cause an accident. Or they will spend time to imprint the very basics of communal living to make sure they're tolerable in a group. In conscript armies they had to teach large amounts of people to serve along with chumps from a cross-section of almost the entire male population.

Military recruitment propaganda is a whole genre. This one has some similarities to others around the world. Some of them try to appeal to the everyman using similar cuts between civilian life and the military. Like you, an average bloke, can also do your part when necessary. Part-time soldiers and conscripts are asked to split their time between their daily civvie life and an often less paid military side job. The ones I have seen don't try to insult their civilian careers, not when they expect people to do their years and then filter back into reserve status and to the same old civilian job. Sometimes they don't focus on jobs, they cut between shots of civvies doing entirely mundane things like walking the dog and then jogging in kit with a military dog or something. Motivation and morale is still important in european conscript forces. They just can't offer a complete career most of the time (because most of you will go back to your old jobs except a few instructors, specialists and officers) or flaunt amazing benefits because you most likely already have a job providing those things, one that gets interrupted when the army sends you a letter. Then they tend to focus more on duty than some personal development or good bennies.

in order for this Podcast to work, please you should invite not only a bunch of random military fans, but an expert of each fields. like, Invite those who are expert in geopolitics, international relations, history, military, law enforcement, domestic violences, guns, etc..

I know this is future me talking, but we just saw the putsch attempt in Russia. Not a super successful one, and perhaps not something that will repeat itself. When Lukashenka in Belarus thought there would be a revolt or coup, he was still filmed inspecting his security troops in a tactical vest and a kalash. It looked a little silly, but one of my aquaintances said both that and how Zelensky refused to leave Kiev showed that they were sticking in. Not like either Zelensky or Lukashenka would personally go out to start popping rebels and russians but a show that they were still there, still manning the office. During the hardliner coup back in the 90's when Gorbachev was in house arrest, there was a large public outing in support of Yeltsin. Pretty ordinary people blocking the way for tanks and yelling or arguing with the troops. The coup in Turkey where army elements tried to oust Erdogan led to large amounts of his supporters taking to the streets after Erdogan spoke to the nation. And in Russia during the Wagner coup, nothing happens. Someone shows up to remove the Wagner ads so they're not obviously in people's face. The rosgvardia and the moscow cops try to stage a little coup defence and their air force bombs the convoy. But most people and federal army units seem to just stand there, take selfies and cheering. Not actively going out on the streets in favor of Prigozjin either, but not doing a darn thing against him. As for a US civil war... I can't think of any fringe US group who is a military threat. A bunch that could be a domestic terror threat or a half-assed insurgency at best but none that could immediately escalate to a paramilitary threat.

Russian is here. We have a huge rift in Russia it is between the young and the rest. The olds see Putin as a savior that lifted them from the chaos of the 90s and the young see Putin as a lunatic that lives in a bunker and didn't take his piles yet. This is why Russia so severely underperforms because the young that fight do not want to do that. And old people contribute nothing, so they are disengaged from real life and live on Putin's paycheck this is why they like him and support the war, the young do not support the war and want to do nothing with it. Putin is just a CIA puppet that carried out invasion because US wanted so, you have to force China into WW3 somehow.

Sometimes when you talk with older people who grew up in the soviet system or the soviet satellites like East Germany, it's they who are most critical of today. I still think dictators and autocrats get insulated from the reality of their land. Like Putin genuinely believed they could do a repeat of Crimea but scaled up to encompass the entire Ukraine. A lot of the NATO intelligence services thought the other way around, that Putin couldn't seriously take that risk even as everyone could see the buildup at the border.

Good idea, good effort but no. Just no. It doesn't work, sorry

This doesn't reflect well on you two. Talking trash about the kids you bullied when you were young? Not a great loook in grown men.

Did he seriously say that he is okay with stolen valor? Strange comment.

I did. I've been fine with for years and support using it to get on a plane or train faster, sound cool at a bar, or pick someone up. To be clear, it may not go well, but hey, fortune favors the bold.

🐺 To all: please give Jesus Christ a chance before it's too late! I know for a fact Jesus, heaven and hell are real. Repent, believe and be saved. You need a change of heart and mind. Jesus is the only way to be saved. Jesus may return soon. Don't delay. Jesus loves you. 😇✝️🛐. But loved does not mean saved. Saved by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ alone. Not works.
