People say this, but how does any of this benefit Russia?
They passed a law to allow Conscripts to fight now. That's my only guess is if they can use this as an excuse to do a full mobilization and finish the Ukrainian situation.
Sure let's give people who are unwilling to fight in Putin's war a weapon, train them how to use it, and hope for the best... just after everyone saw a Wagner mutiny march towards Moscow with little to no resistance.
What could possibly go wrong?
History nerds feeling like this is analogous to the glory days of the great Red Army might want to do a little reading about what happened in Russia in 1917.
