- ceejayoz 2y ago"I have more soldiers than you" isn't the only thing that counts.
- Muromec 2y agoIn a protracted conflict that wears down all multipliers, it's just that and supplying enough food and bullets
- cbg0 2y agoEU+UK aren't conscripting at this time and also have much better training and equipment than Russia, so the comparison isn't apples to apples, I was just saying that we do in fact have "warfighters".

They will have a volunteer military (or possibly deals with mercenary armies, or foreign recruits in exchange for citizenship) unless and until something catastrophic happens. If it comes conscription, it will have been a unconscionable failure of leadership.
