The real reason behind Russia calling up reservists

No matter what the specifics, it is clear we will be at a firm disadvantage the longer we go without a draft of our own. They will be months or even years ahead in terms of training and readiness.

Possible but do you believe Putin would try to chew off another mouthful when he can't swallow what he's already got in his mouth? I'm not buying that at all.

US has too much corruption to be drafted. Every gang in US will go rogue in the military and act like death squads which would be bad for American part. You win but still lose that can even be worst off. Mind as well nuke yourself while at it because the is what the criminals in US would do if they got access.

You have an excellent army residing in your federal prisons
