    Meanwhile, I just learned that I have a distant relative who fled Russia to avoid conscription for Putin’s failing war. It doesn’t even make sense, the guy’s in his 50’s. Now he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return.

        Hardly. Even Putin admitted that they screwed up in who they conscripted. Those recruitment centers aren’t burning themselves down.
