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

they don't have the money, and besides most Russians don't really care about Ukraine that much, so that move would probably provoke a civil war

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?!

Regards,
