A lot of people in nations bordering Russia have said that sort of thing. Ask the Ukranians how those predictions worked out for them. You aren't in Vodkaland yet, but Vodkaland has a way of coming to you. Ask the Chechens. Ask the Georgians.
You may as well enlist. In the event that the orcs pay a visit, do you want to be the guy with the rifle? Or do you want to be the guy in civilian clothes, who gets handed a ketchup bottle full of kerosene and a rag? Russian voters are very keen in recreating the Soviet Empire. They may be running out of tanks, artillery pieces, and aircraft, but they still have approximately infinity convicts and non-Russian ethnic minority males to stuff into the meatgrinder to make it happen.
It is bizarre. Russian Zoomers see the yellowed sixty-year-old copies of Soviet Life Magazine with propaganda pictures of the shelves at G.U.M. in Moscow overflowing with cheap East German cigarettes and are overwhelmed with nostalgia for something they never experienced. Russian Boomers, stunted from growing up with rickets and kwashiorkor, who spent half their lives standing in line for the toilet paper ration, terrified that the KGB would disappear them if they made a joke about it, pat them on the shoulders and say "Yes. This is how it was. The Yankees robbed you of your birthright." And you, friend, are between them and what they think they want.
Sometimes life drops the green weenie on your plate. Being born between the Oder and the Don sucks. Some of my ancestors came from that part of the world. I heard the stories growing up. I'm sorry, man. But, see. The more say "I don't care enough about my people to give up a year of my life," the more the intel reports on the far side of the border will say "those faggots won't fight. They'll wave us through at the border." And when enough if those reports accumulate, Putin, or whatever syphilitic maniac replaces him, will nod and say "go forth and conquer."
