Why is Russia calling up 300,000 people in a draft?

[jimmy2]

Russia running from battles in Donbass so why does Russia continue this war? Your thoughts welcome.

Russia will never back down from an invasion. They simply can't accept to lose against a small nation so they will do EVRETHING they can to destroy it.

Including nuclear bomb (is not bluffing animore)

Russia whas the same ALL THEYR HISTORY.

The better question is why are the Russians fleeing Russia en mass in response to the call up. So they'll turn a blind eye to the butchery for months till thier number gets called? Smh.

[jimmy2]

They don't want to join the army

I think you missed my point.

[NathanDavis]

this could be an intended or non intended test of the waters...

the moment a dictator calls 300,000 people to die for his cause... you are testing that "blind loyalty"

it could show the Russian government how much they could push or enforce their authority

[jimmy2]

I think he will use nuclear

[NathanDavis]

he would get killed by his subordinates... if he ever tries that

[jimmy2]

True

[Dargil]

Russia is about to lose the war and the leadership is about to get purged.

[exitseven]

Because Putin is backed into a corner. He cannot lose this war.

[BJP21]

Socialistic Communism one of the dangers of this government.

[OddBeMe]

Putin is trying to dig himself out of his massive failure.

[jshm2]

Because it isn't really a war- more of an intervention to liberate the donbass regions.
