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?
