The choice isn’t yours when there’s a draft. If it’s so noble to die defending your state (not people, state) then it should be no problem getting enough volunteers.
Forcing people to fight for their government is wrong. Maybe some are ok with surrender over risking their life, maybe some are staunch pacifists, maybe some feel their lives won’t change very much under new leadership and would prefer to live.
Sending teens into a bloodbath by force isn’t good no matter how you try to spin it. Yes the alternative might be losing, but that is their choice.
You should go fight, they’re accepting foreign volunteers. You go do what you’re asking these children to do. It’s the right thing, isn’t it?
Same bullshit Kremlin copy pasta. Russia is the only country to blame for their imperialistic war, where they are murdering Ukrainians and stealing their land.
You haven’t answered why you aren’t going to go fight
Maybe we’ll meet on the battlefield ;)
Hey by the way did you hear Hamas forces people to stay in unsafe parts of Gaza as human shields. It’s so evil when the government forces civilians into danger when they could be escaping.
I’m not talking about Hamas. I’m talking about you parroting Russian propaganda and how you think it’s cute to trivialize Russia’s imperialistic war in Ukraine. Where Vladimir Putin and the Russians that support him decide it’s okay to murder civilians to steal their land. That’s who you are aligning yourself with.
They didn’t say Russia wasn’t to blame, or that what Russia is doing is justified. They said - and I happen to agree - that conscription is always wrong. No one should, under any circumstance, be compelled by force to fight and die for their state or for any other reason. The choice to risk one’s own life for a cause - even a cause of defense - is your choice alone.
Should young Ukrainians volunteer to defend their independence? Probably, but that’s up to them, or at least it should be.
there’s no room for this kind of nuance in this community, it’s a bunch of what I can only describe as rabid liberals.
oh I must be a Trump supporting Russia man for saying that.
It’s funny how they’re all choosing to ignore that they can go fight in Ukraine right now. I wonder why they aren’t?
It’s ok to order 18 year olds to do it for them though because “that’s what’s right.”
Yeah, easy for them to say.
I wonder where they’ll draw the line. By the same arguments we should be drafting women and children old enough to hold a gun.
They should all fight and die for their country shouldn’t they? Everyone owes their life to the arbitrary governing body of the region they were born in. They own you and should be able to send you to your death. How liberal.
You think it’s not absolutely obvious to all of us that no one should be conscripted to fight if they don’t want to? Genocidal Russia decided that wasn’t an option. Save your grief for them.

Do you support Russia?
Yes everyone you don’t like is a Russian agent.

Then go fight. Where’s your answer to that?
Go die instead of some kid. Anti-imperialists used to have balls. Go fight.
I’m fighting propaganda like what you spread.
Do you feel good supporting Russia?
lol maybe those kids can shitpost instead and you can pick up a gun. Do you feel good forcing a mother to send her teen son into trench warfare?
Thanks for finally inspiring me to block this cesspool. You’re a scumbag.
