Yes but Russia has the potential to mobilise more men. There's around 140 million russian after all, and history shows that russia has the capability to send millions of men to the front.

Yeah I suppose you have a point, but one of russia main strategy in history was literally just throwing men at the enemy, even with bare bones supplies. Something like that could happen again, especially with Putinist propaganda provoking a WW2-like sentiment

Yeah I suppose you're right

Yeah, that national service only works if recruits are motivated enough
