SAF trained so many National Servicemen to be reservists.
Spent money on reservist training and mobilisation.
But when there is an actual conflict (don't even call it war, just a small conflict like a border skirmish with Malaysia or Indonesia), all these reservists will run road.

'I don't want to die': Russians flee abroad after Putin's call-up​

YEREVAN - Dmitri flew to Armenia with just one small bag, leaving behind his wife and children, adding to the thousands fleeing Russia to avoid serving in the war against Ukraine.
"I don't want to go to the war," he told AFP. "I don't want to die in this senseless war. This is a fratricidal war."
Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision this week to mobilise several hundred thousand reservists has spurred a fresh exodus over the country's borders.
"The situation in Russia would make anyone want to leave," said another new arrival, 44-year-old Sergei, who arrived with his teenage son.
Looking lost and exhausted in an Armenian airport, he confirmed that they had fled "because of the mobilisation", but refused to give his full name.
"We choose not to wait to be called up," said his 17-year-old son Nikolai. "I am not panicking, but I feel this uncertainty," he added.
It was a sentiment shared by other Russians arriving off the same flight to Yerevan.

"It's wrong to go to war in the 21st century - to put it mildly," Alexei, 39, told AFP.
He was not sure if he would ever be able return to Russia, he added. "It all depends on the situation."

'False information'​

Military-aged men made up the majority of those arriving off the latest flight from Moscow. Many were reluctant to speak.

Yerevan has become a major destination for Russians fleeing since war began on Feb 24.
Since then, Armenia says at least 40,000 Russians have arrived in the small Caucasus country, once a part of the Soviet Union.
Nearly 50,000 Russians have fled to neighbouring Georgia, national statistics from June showed.

The Kremlin on Thursday dismissed as "fake" reports that Russians eligible for mobilisation were rushing for the exit.
"A great deal of false information has emerged about this," said spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
But flights out of Russia were nearly fully booked for the week ahead to cities in the nearby former Soviet countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
And Mr Putin's call-up order did not provoke just a dash for the exit - there were protests too.
Police arrested more than 1,300 people on Wednesday at demonstrations against mobilisation across Russia, according to one group monitoring protests, OVD-Info.
On social networks, there were fears Russia would seal its borders.
But Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Thursday Russian deserters could "obtain international protection" in her country.

'Almost nobody supports the war'​

Finnish border authorities said on Thursday they had seen an increase in traffic from Russia following Mr Putin's announcement. But it stressed that the influx was still at relatively low levels.
At the Vaalimaa border crossing in Finland, there was a line of cars about 150m long could be seen Thursday afternoon.
"It was busy in the morning and at night, but now it's starting to calm down," Mr Elias Laine, a border guard there told AFP.

A 23-year-old project manager from Moscow told AFP the mobilisation had pushed forward his plans to leave Russia by October.
"I'm eligible for the call-up," he explained.
"Some people went to protests because they've got nothing to lose. Others are looking into laws and talking lawyers to find out whether they can be conscripted," he said.
And back in Yerevan, another Russian who had managed to get out said he was "shocked" by Mr Putin's mobilisation announcement.
"Almost nobody supports the war," he said. "This is all so painful. I want all of this to end soon."
He declined to give either his first or last name, citing security concerns. AFP

Sinkieland's sovereignty is 可有可无. The world goes on with or without it. No point risking life and limb.

Russia-Ukraine and that region has geopolitical ramifications. It's a grand chessboard.

You're exposing the fallacy that we need conscription. Anyway Sinkie conscripts will shoot their commanders first if they are forced to fight.

At least 200,000 Russians have left Russia since Putin's draft began​

Sep 29, 2022

MOSCOW - At least 200,000 Russians have left the country in the week since President Vladimir Putin announced a partial military mobilisation after a series of setbacks in the country's war with Ukraine, according to figures provided by Russia's neighbours.
The mobilisation could pull as many as 300,000 civilians into military service, from what Russian officials have said is a pool of some 25 million draft-eligible adults on their rolls, suggesting that the departures, though unusual, may not prevent the Kremlin from achieving its conscription goals.
Video posted on social media platforms showed long lines of cars approaching border checkpoints in countries, including Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Finland.
The rapid outflow, as well as a series of protests in different parts of the country, are a stark display of discontent with Mr Putin's policy.
"I left because of my disagreement with the current government in Russia," said Mr Alexander Oleinikov, 29, a bus driver from Moscow who crossed overland into northeastern Georgia.
He said many people he knew were against the war, which he called a "tragedy" caused by "one crazy dictator".
The size of the exodus is difficult to determine, however, given that Russia has borders with 14 countries, stretching from China and North Korea to the Baltic States, and not all governments release regular data about migration.

The government of Kazakhstan said Tuesday that 98,000 Russians entered the country in the last week, and Georgia's interior minister said more than 53,000 people crossed into the country from Russia since Sept 21, when the mobilisation was announced.
The daily number climbed over those days to about 10,000 from a normal level of about 5,000 to 6,000.
The European Union's border agency, Frontex, said in a statement that nearly 66,000 Russian citizens entered the bloc in the week to Sunday, up 30 per cent from the previous week.
Those numbers give some additional credence to the scale of exodus described in a report over the weekend by the independent Latvian-based Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe, which cited what it said was a security service estimate, provided by an unnamed source, of 261,000 men having left the country by Sunday.
There is also evidence that Russia may be moving to stem the flow of departures.
On Wednesday, Russia's North Ossetia republic imposed restrictions on cars arriving from other parts of the country. The republic's governor, Mr Sergei Menyaylo, said the ban was being introduced after 20,000 people crossed the border in two days.

Truth or bluff? Why Putin's nuclear warnings have the West worried
Some European countries have already imposed border restrictions with Russia, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, which have closed their doors to most Russian citizens.
Some analysts cautioned that the practical impact of the departures was likely to be limited.
"Many young Russian men are departing in a mass exodus from Russia," said Mr Mick Ryan, an Australian military expert who has commented extensively on the war in Ukraine. "But millions of others will not have the means to leave Russia to escape their draft notices." NYTIMES
