  1. Nice that’s good change…if by 2039 that would even matter anymore swing how stuff going on now and how fast everything is changing.

  2. Not only by 2039 but also 500,000 soldiers and reservists, out of wich 300,000 are soldiers and 200,000 reservists. Really, at this point I think we are really, really heading for return of military conscription. Because how we can achieve 200,000 reservists without it? I mean, according to article there is only some 2,000 active reservists.

    I’m curious how we want to achieve it. Each year, demographic crisis is expanding, and somehow they want more able-bodied people to move from civilian jobs to the army. I haven’t found any logic in my country leaders decisions for many years now, but this one is just plain stupid.

  4. By 2039 we will have population smaller by that number and we cannot afford to have such big army and so many healthy, fit and young people wasted in army.

  5. Just gotta make military service financially attractive, turbopatriots will start flowing (or not)

    why build modern military based on drones and rockets when we can conscript 500k cannon fodder

  7. This is a good idea to fix poverty in the country, as long as they can find enough infrastructure projects to cut

    Contrary to what others write here, I dont believe in “demographic crisis”. People dont have kids because they dont have money for them, not the other way around.

    Better to increase standing army that to fill housing developer’s pockets
