Hi Zim!

The answer to your question about what is he going to do with a million and a half troops?

Get the majority into an early grave.. Untrained, not combat ready, numbers only people does not make one a qualified , trained combat soldier. I feel sorry for those people who are not much different than enslaved. What choice do they have? Say NO to Putin? We know how that would turn out..

This is an interesting thingto watch imo.. I do have empathy for those who have no choice in the matters. They are simply sacrificial pawns and leadership has no skin in the game. They should lead by example and be on the front lines imo.

The ones who are the loudest always think they are the bravest. Lets put them on the front lines and actually face the enemy and see how brave they are..

just a thought...... Thumbs Up

Micro > I wonder if these will be volunteers or conscripts..


From what I've been reading . . . A lot of Russian 'volunteers' were 'contract soldiers' many of whom got killed in Ukraine and others are not renewing their contracts.

Some fighting age male Russians have fled the country to keep from being drafted and killed in Ukraine.

Putin done stripped the jails of convicts to conscript them.

Which suggests if Putin is going to grow his Army . . . he will have to conscript folks out of the 'working economy'. Further crippling it.

An interesting question . . "What is Putin going to do with a million and a half troops?"

(Invade more countries?)

Zim.
