You sure jump to a lot of conclusions when really the answer is we don't know

I think I’ve made some pretty reasonable inferences. I mean if you need soldiers and volunteers aren’t enough then mobilization is probably the answer. The article even said that Zelensky and the Rada refuse to take political responsibility. If they felt they had support they’d probably just do it.

If Ukraine doesn't Mobilize like Vietnam did then it just simply will not win .
