Russia will call up men by the millions if the war comes to Russian soil in a serious way.

Why wait? Seriously: Why not do it now? Why not call up those millions of conscripts and immediately throw them into battle?

The Russians have been dilly-dallying for well over a year, fighting an inconclusive war Special Military Operation that is only embarrassing them as a preeminent military power. What is staying their hand? Do they want a long, drawn-out military confrontation with an allegedly inferior opponent?

They could have called up a million men 15 months ago, and given them that much more time to train and practice field manœuvers.

Do the Russians want to lose?!

You seem like an intelligent fellow, so tell me how many combat and logistical forces constitute the Russian Special Military Operation in total (you can just round it up or down in thousands and be within 25,000 to show you know).
