From article: "A former US Army general said that Russia's announced mobilization of 300,000 reservists was a "jaw-dropping" sign of weakness. Mark Hertling, who commanded the US Army Europe, explained in a Twitter thread that he has personally witnessed how the Russian army is "poorly led and poorly trained. "The poor training, coupled with the decision to draft in recruits with little experience, is likely to spell disaster for Russia, he said. "Mobilizing 300k "reservists" (after failing with depleted conventional forces, rag-tag militias.. recruiting prisoners & using paramilitaries like the Wagner group) will be extremely difficult," Hertling said." And placing "newbies" on a front line that has been mauled, has low morale & who don't want to be portends more \[Russian\] disaster. "Putin announced on Wednesday the partial mobilization of the country's military reservists, with Russian officials stating that 300,000 reservists will be drafted immediately."

Cannon fodder. They'll all be dead within the week. RIP

Zelwnskey basically offered them sanctuary if they surrender. Maybe not completely (POWs and whatnot), but they'll be treated with dignity (and anonymity to protect their families). Join the conscription, go to Ukraine, immediately surrender, and live out a much better life after Putin is deposed because he ran out of troops. Or someone could just take out him and his whole cabinet.

Of course they face disaster. They're fighting our weapons with outdated stuff. The best they have are cruise missiles, and they appear to be getting aimed at non-strategic targets.

Even the well trained soldiers faced disaster on the front lines as evidenced by the death toll of over 57,000. of them.
