Makes for more russians to kill. Forcing the population to serve in the military and put them right into a war doesn’t exactly get teh best troops.

Putin owns the lifeline to Europe in the form of natural gas-and it is much much more serious than most people know. Natural gas is already 7 times the normal cost. Imagine filling your car with $20/gallon fuel. It literally breaks your economy nearly immediately. There is a good chance Europe wil be paralyzed this winter.
Unfortunately for the west, a fully mobilized Russia would squish Ukraine like a zit.
Russia has matched the United States nation for nation in diplomatic representation; the United States Foreign Sercice is a mere shell of what it was only 20 years ago - our schools have failed us, thus we are blunder’s on a gloabal scale. Having been in our Foreign Serice, it is more interested with individual promotions, and screwing over conservatives than any serious 3D chess with our adversaries.
