blurb:

Let's talk about the stark differences between Ukraine and Russia's recruitment, drafting, and conscription practices. Who is targeted (primarily) to be drafted for military service, and why? You'll see why the answer really does matter, and how it reveals many other key facts that people often miss.

Russia's manpower issues are not because there aren't people available to draft, but that people would riot and likely overthrow Putin if a draft was put in place. Which is why there hasn't been another mobilization, instead paying ever higher rates and bonuses to join.
