Key Notes
Jiang lists manpower shortages, possible NATO escalation, and possible Russian expansion into Moldova or the Baltic states as conventional explanations for Russian mobilization.
Rick distinguishes the elite-forces deployment he reported from Scott Ritter's earlier estimate for mobilizing forty to fifty thousand regular troops for an invasion.
Jiang says the deaths of 170 schoolgirls and then Khamenei functioned as major sacrifices for Iranian mobilization.
Jiang says Europe’s open-society and multicultural turn has polarized societies and weakened the homeland attachment needed for mass war mobilization.
He cites Germany's discussion of conscription and says some young people would rather accept Putin than fight, using that reaction as evidence that Western societies cannot easily mobilize their youth for wider war.
He says Polish fear of Russia is historically embedded through memory of partition, massacre, and repeated vulnerability, making Poland the most enthusiastic backer of Ukraine.
He says the Ukrainian side shows the opposite pattern: forced mobilization of older men, very high desertion, and a war effort that is already hopelessly lost.
