I know this is scripted to be funny, but I still have to say it: finally someone with some sense in this country!
> Army chief in tv interview:
> Right now Russia is busy in Ukraine, so that means we don't need to hurry when building up the army
> Instead of increasing the number of conscripts, we can build a smaller, higher skilled army
> Everyone knows conscripts armies cause a lot of people do die if they are used
> That's not what we want
TL:DR
Government wants to increase the army size because Russia is a threat. Commander of the army does not want to, because Russia isn't a threat to us when they are fighting Ukraine.
