    If you’re so eager to defend a military conscription/draft, why don’t you go and fight on the frontline yourself? This whole article is about Zelenskyy cracking down on Ukrainian citizens avoiding the conscription because they don’t want to be sent into the meat grinder that is the heavily fortified front lines.

    It’s always those that face the least consequences from war that are the most eager for it to continue.

      They’re happy to have eastern men die forced into it and were probably the same people happy to shame them for trying to flee not to die. I’m so heartbroken for the androcide so happily encouraged by libs. I’ve seen gross comments from lib men how they will be happy to take over Ukrainian windows. Their kind is rotten to the core. :(

      Oh the tired arguments of ruzzians.

      This is about cracking down on leaders who haven’t thrown out leaders under them who have been corrupt.

      This is a good thing.

      And that whole argument: why aren’t you on the frontlines is so tired, and didn’t make sense in the first place.

      Who wants an old Norwegian who barely knows both Russian and Ukrainian on the frontlines when he can be at home financing drones and telling his government to step up support?
