    Alt-righters calling Zelenskyy corrupt and so on all day long. Look how stressed his face looks. He’s aged like 30 years since the war started.

        No, you’re wrong. Conscription is always wrong. If fighting is justified you won’t need to do it.

          Cool so I can come in to your house and steal all your shit, beat up your children, and shoot your dog, and you aren’t allowed to fight back because if it was justified, you wouldn’t need to?

          EDIT: I seem to have misinterpreted the comment, as you appear to be referring to conscription being unnecessary rather than the fighting. Taking the whole context of the comment supports that, but taking only the context of the final sentence makes it appear that you are saying “if fighting is justified you dont need to fight” rather than “if fighting is justified, conscription is unnecessary”

    It infuriates me that more people aren’t talking about how sexist it is that Ukraine only drafted its men. I can understand instituting a draft when your country is literally being invaded, but it should apply to all able-bodied citizens, not just men.

      There is a point in the fact that men are biologically more suited to fight than women. Also no one is preventing a woman to join the military.

      In the end it just sucks, no one should ever have to be drafted.

      To what end? Just to get woman suffer as much as men in the name of equality? Winning the war is what matters. There are plenty of strategic reasons why you might not want to include woman in a draft. You still need civilians in regular jobs, you will need to population to grow after the war, and overall most military in the world are designed by men, for men, and are extremely missadapted for woman.

    A real crime here is the draft. And before the tankies start circling this post, it applies to russia as well.

      Regular draft is unacceptable. But this is not a regular draft.

        Cheering for other people’s kids to march off and kill one another.

        Booing when they come home, covered in blood and sweet and tears, because they didn’t achieve some kind of unequivocal victory.

        Then claiming the (((Secret Traitors))) cost you the war by undermining moral with information about what was actually going on.
