The truth is Russia is bombarding from afar. Whenever their conscripts faced skilled and battle hardened vets they fled/folded/died. The magnitude of Russia's forces tell me they will, in time have a chance to stomp Ukraine - as long as they have any feet left!!
Do you know Russia maintains an army cohort called sort of Battle Police to keep conscripts from desertion? The USA/UK have no such force or need. Russian conscripts know they are like dirt to the elites and only battle police make them advance - lesser of two evils is the conscript's choice.
- bloak 5y agoThe UK hasn't used conscripts in a conflict in which they were at serious risk of getting killed since 1951 (Korean War), I think, though I could be wrong. In any case, there have been no conscripts in the armed services after 1963. When did the USA last put conscripts into serious danger? Vietnam, 1975?
- imwillofficial 5y ago“The truth is Russia is bombarding from afar.” I’ve been following this situation closely, and this most certainly is not the case outside of a few outliers. The Nazi Azov battalion has impressed me with the ferocity of their fighting. Less so with their war crimes against prisoners.
