Anyone who gets kidnapped like that has the right to fight back, no one deserves to be thrown to the meat grinder, if the government wants to fight a war they can do it themselves.

Are they not fighting for the country they live in?

Nobody should be dragged to fight in a war against their will, period

Conscripts make poor soldiers. Look at the modern IDF and the USA in Vietnam. Turns out people who don't want to fight aren't good at it.

Literally mass conscriptions, to fight for their country.

In US, hell, even in Russia, if you are a draft dodger, you will go to court and be judged. Whatever the sentence is, there is a trial. Ukraine is just kidnapping people on the street and sending it to the frontline. And like even they say, they die between 3 days to 3 weeks. You are defending this like an authentic keyboard warrior, because if it was you being kidnapped like that, you would be squealing and kicking like a dying pig.

I’m not defending people being kidnapped that ridiculous. I’m asking a question… Your compassion for the Russian war machine is clear comrade!

Are you that illiterated? Did I defend Russia here?
