Increasing their army size is not just about drafting more men. They need weapons, tanks, trucks and a whole host of other goodies to make them a modern fighting force.
Retooling Cold War relics won’t cut it in this day and age. They are going to have to spend gobs and gobs of money on equipment equal to or better than what the West has.
So my point is, getting a larger size army in terms of the number of men is easy. Getting them equipped is not. These new recruits will basically be cannon fodder without the equipment. Just my opinion.
Cannon fodder from whom? YouCraynee? LOL.
