Abelarldlindsey,
The west is casualty-phobic. Fun fact that not too many realize:
There is no other military in the west EXCEPT for the US. The allies we have are glorified police-like forces with a few ships and planes. This is not an offense, but a statement of fact.
We in there US won't be going to war with a major power(s) that does not give a shit about casualties. This means everyone not in the west. At least intentionally.
First, you won't find enough young real men here who would volunteer. They are checking out of society, not defending it. Not even considering the extremely relative few that are even capable of joining.
Second, a draft is not even remotely politically viable. Not even in the slightest.
Third, the most rabidly anti-Putin (lefties) shoot their mouths off and attack with emojis, not guns. Cowards all.
Unless the Russians are truly that inept militarily, this will be a slow, steady grind. And lots of money to be made by the MIC, kickbacks to the big guy and friends from giving the crackhouse of Europe billions of our tax dollars per month, etc.
