Yes, I think conscription is going to backfire on Putin. Russia today is not like the USSR of the Afghanistan war era. Russia doesn't have an antiwar movement like America's during the Vietnam War era. But, young Russian men are just as likely to resist being conscripted into fighting a war they don't want as were their US counterparts years ago.
Yeah now young people in Moscow and Saint Petersburg have to go to fight a war against their brothers and most of them will die the western weapons the Ukranians have are superior.
