Reply to One of Russia’s most prominent nationalist politicians said the Russian military does not have an adequate number of doctors among other problems, a message he delivered in a meeting Saturday with the mothers of soldiers mobilized for the fight in Ukraine by DoremusJessup
Shit, did the military completely forget to maintain their doctors too? Or is this a case where rampant corruption meant that regional officials were just stealing their doctors?

It's Singapore. The President doesn't run the country at all.

Reply to Lithuania is readying itself to retaliate with full force to any potential Russian attack | World News by Sofie-Forsberggg
It's a NATO country, so the risk is awfully low right now. While Putin may very well have thought he had a world class army in January, he knows that's bullshit now, and that if it came to that, NATO would utterly curb stomp the Russian military.
The Baltic States need to be wary, obviously, and there's perhaps great danger in the long term, but Russia is nowhere near capable of invading any of them any time soon.

I don't know the history there, but I'm willing to bet they had no trouble at all getting admitted once they decided on that course of action. The US would have been absolutely thrilled to get a NATO member sharing a long border with the USSR, and as a bonus, one which controlled the Bosporus Straight.
