Why is this upvoted? There is no need for this hypothetical 2.5M number when there are reports of recruiting from homeless shelters and prisons (with video evidence of the latter). Clearly few Russians want to die in this bogus war.
A lot of Russians lost their jobs when Western countries exited. If they are claiming any sort of unemployment benefit they will be on government records. Easy for Putin's regime to select fighting age males from that list and mail them.
I am surprised Russia has any unemployment benefit .
I'm from a socialist / communist country and we don't have any government assistance for the unemployed. It doesn't really fit with our political ideology. I always viewed it as a western thing.
Sure, but if you look at the track record of the prepared Russian army, which has been mobilizing in that region since 2014, I think that record is pretty laughable.
Those 10% are a few people that want to die. Point is that russia has enough people willing to mobilise, so those who don't want to should not at any costs
You don't have a point because there aren't a lot of people willing to mobilise. Hence the video of recruiting from a prison, the joke military, and the draft,
Russians don't volunteer, they might like the idea, but they just don't do unless someone said to them to do. Google images for: набережные челны мобилизация - "Naberezhnye Chelny mobilisation" from russian.
