“After all, the media never lies right?”

Keep punching that straw man, I bet it impresses the ladies.

Russia is widely hated. Its people should have ridded themselves of Putin at some point, but they didn’t. Putin acted like a civilized person for some time, but he was still a KGB killer and torturer at heart. Now Russia is royally screwed.

Not surprising, nobody wants to be drafted against their will. If they instituted a draft in the US or EU, you’d see young people in these countries do similar.

Let’s assume that is actually able to draft 300,000 people. Perhaps 50,000 or so will be capable of combat. The rest might be used in the rear for logistics work and such. But, the Russians are running out of trucks, rails and bridges have been destroyed, etc. So, there’s no logistics capability. And, if the Russians did have such capability they have nothing to transport. No food, or ammo, low on clothes, winter is coming which requires special artic clothes in those climes. Bottom line; these 300,000 bodies are going to be a net drain on Russian fighting capability.

Well, they better work quick! Within two months, General Winter and his pals, General Snow and General Mud will be entering the fray.

Last time I checked, those guys are undefeated in world military history. We're looking at a humanitarian disaster in that neck of the woods.

Hitler didn’t fully mobilize Nazi Germany until 1943, after he lost at Stalingrad.

Full mobilization is usually a sign things are going poorly and you’re desperate.

Only if people belief the fight is unjustified.

If there was an invasion of their country most people here would not flee the draft.

As I have said—Russians are all cowards and chicken hearted. They don’t want to get their hands dirty. Putin has Lost before the war starts. Now is the time for NATO to attack and roll to Moscow and seize Russia. Nothing can stop a Polish army with America support from doing what Hitler and Napoleon could not.

No real analysis here, but a (possibly unrepresentative, translated) pic from twitter, where a staunch Russian supporter of the invasion gets worked up about a potential reserve call-up that could affect her son. Fortunately for him, he happens to be abroad, where he can't easily be shanghaied
