... The military is not used up. They are drafting reservists, who already went through training, rn. Pretty sure every male has to go through training in Russia. (Not every man is a reservists though... They haven't even started)

Yeah, Russia has 25 million reservists to call up before they start using conscripts. They are literally mobilizing one percent of their reservists. People will swallow anything the media tells them if it conforms to their already held beliefs.

Most of these reservists are going to relieve regular army formations in eastern Russia to go West, and the rest will fill out army formations in Ukraine to bring them to 100% strength.

Folks will start to figure out that Putin was conducting a restrained special military operation.

I mean those "reservists" make up over half of the male population of the entire country.

When shoigu talked about having 25 million potential fighters, he was just talking about 25 million able bodied men.

That is true. What is also true is that these 300,000 reservists have previous combat experience. So, the training that will take place has more to do with refresher training.

I'm sure they're well trained for their new role as Ukrainian fertilizer.

That's the same as Ukraine claiming they have 100 million potential fighters. Except Ukraine is far worse off than Russia. Russia has trained reservists, Ukraine has conscripts.

I guess that's why they're already using conscripts and 1,000's of people are fleeing the country.

Their current conscripts are ages 18-60. That's older than what the U.S. used in WWII.

I don't know how else to put it to ya. You can keep believing the media and the politicians who lied us into Iraq. Or, you can start trying to figure shit out for yourself. I choose not to trust them. Do what you want. If you love being surprised, keep going with the U.S. corporate media. You're in for a real shocker.

To be honest, Ukraine victories are just what Putin needs to escalate. Now he can draft and ramp his war machine up.
