What army will Russia have in 5 years? Seems they’re done conscripting civilians, they’re halfway through the prisoners being conscripted.
I’ll kind of be surprised if Russia’s still a nation in 5 years. Putin may have put dtRump in office in the US to destroy democracy, but he’s doing a fairly monumental job of destroying Russia himself.
they’re done conscripting civilians
Volunteers. They can only do conscripting for official wars. As we know, Russia officially calls it a special military operation.
Putin may have put dtRump in office in the US
The US was beaten at their own game? Where is the impeachment organised by the billionaires who are not in Russia’s pocket?
Russia has done large scale conscription, but it was extremely unpopular. As in a lot of young Russians left the country.

OP must have meant conscrips for Ukraine.* You are right, there are conscripts. But they are not done because they are conscripted every year.
* the war in Ukraine
It’ll still have plenty. It still trades outside of the West, it still has enough manpower. Russia would probably solidify it’s decline for decades, but it still have enough resources to squeeze for the rest of Putin’s lifetime. And, you don’t need to be a superpower to cause a lot of harm, if the intention is there.
Putin just passed a decree that the active reserve can be used for counterterrorist action outside of the federation. This unlocks 5 million reservists. Whether his economy will be able to sustain this army after being stripped of 5 million workers, though?
why 2030, russia is already doing assymetrical war with the west, due to cyberterrorism, aka propaganda and funding far right groups
The actual documents https://commission.europa.eu/topics/defence/future-european-defence_en

That will be 4 years too late…

They can’t match the starwars satellites yet.

I don’t really condone weaponizing space,
It will be a nuclear war. China went to the moon for the same reason as the US. The satellites can help to reduce the number of successful ICBMs.
can you really trust the USA will be on the side of the EU?
Yes, because the EU will be on the side of the US. However, the loss of parts of Europe could be a sacrifice that the US is willing to make.
How so? Or is this just an attempt at sounding sassy? One could argue it‘s 16 years too late but I would like to know what you think makes 2026 so important?
In 2024, the majority of MIC 2025’s goals were considered to be achieved, despite U.S. efforts to curb the program.[

China is taking over technological leadership. We have to fight the war as early as possible.
The Polish Prime Minister referred to a similar assessment by the head of the US European Command (USEUCOM) and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexis Grinkiewicz, with whom he had spoken shortly before. According to this assessment, by 2027 Russia and China could become strong enough to seek a coordinated confrontation with NATO and the United States.

They already seem to have shot down a French plane.
If true, would first time that a French-origin Dassault Rafale has been lost in combat, reportedly having been shot down by the Chinese-origin Chengdu J-10.

In 5 years, how does the West want to outproduce China?

Putin can’t die soon enough
THEN … the EU’s people & future-generations are going to be ground-meat, because Putin isn’t going to wait until then, fools…
This isn’t an institutional-reorientation exercise, this is survival, against a psychopathic sadist & machiavellian, with an army.
grrrr…
So… too late?
Just in time
