Well, Russia erred sending conscripts to hold ground. They fled at the sight of a concerted enemy advance -as conscripts have done for hundreds of years.

Russia has taken appropriate corrective action tho in conscripting regular Russians versus ethnic non-Russians. Could back fire though. Sending Slavs against Slavs. Possibly he’ll have the 100K Norks go in first?

The Madman’s war of conquest goes on.

I don’t think the story about conscripts is accurate. There were some confused conscripts at places, but 95%+ of Russian soldiers are on contract.

They do conscript people from occupied territories now, but that came later. They entered this war with the expectation that their contract soldiers will do the job (in 3 days).

I don’t believe Kim has any Nork soldiers to spare. It’s the same kind of temporary encouragement false statement that Russia made about Syrian or Ethiopian soldiers coming to fight for them. Neither of these turned out to be real.

They’re getting ammo and weapons from North Korea and Iran, but that only shows how weak they are.
