Russia demobilizes 400,000 soldiers every year.
The number of volunteers exceeds the number of called reserves by far.
I know several people who showed up and were rejected because they formed the lists out of people with previous military experience and or specific MOS.
This idiotic propaganda is as disattached from reality as stories of mass draft protests which were in fact twitter induced flash mobs of 2,000 nationwide.
Yes no need for misinformation when the truth is bad enough. The fact that Russia has recently had a major defeat is stunning.
“Russia demobilizes 400,000 soldiers every year.”
Then just recall THEM! They are already trained, and would not have “lost their edge” in so short a time. They can be tossed into the fray without further ado.
“I know several people who showed up and were rejected...”
Did YOU show up, tovarishch?
Exactly.
This is why we can’t have anything nice
