To not die in an incredibly stupid war defending a Nazi ridden lethargic western puppet state?

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 30 points 9 months ago

very mystery

"I want to have a future" - the guy being interviewed. To the immense butthurt of western liberals, that "future" is not apparently very concerned about UA victory.

Increasingly of the opinion that ground troops only exist to give enemy artillery something to shoot at

And on the 100 year anniversary of 1914, no less. Edit: lol I can't math, this morning. I'd delete it but actually it's kinda funny I made such a bone headed response.

So... all the reasons I would have guessed?

There aren’t enough volunteers

Ok right at the first sentence, we have a fundamental disconnect here.

Are they volunteers? All those videos of people being pulled into vans by state security? That's volunteering?

American propaganda is incredible. Only a couple paragraphs later they mention the draft.

So which is it? Voluntary, or a draft?

Has there been much in Ukraine in way of anti-war protests? I've heard there have been some but it doesn't seem like there's an organized anti-war or even anti-conscription movement, although that could be due to the western media bubble

[-] huf@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

or because if someone tries to protest, they get vanned and conscripted...

[-] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

Right, but where are the women in this? Ukraine is still doing male-only conscription (for now)

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago

They have started female conscription to a degree

[-] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

Oh I must've missed that

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

I get the impression most of the people who are anti-conscription have fled the country.

[-] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

Well the conscripts maybe, but there should still be a base of anti-conscription women within the country (widows, spouses, etc)

To not die?

A bunch of cowards who don't want to die for comedy man and US interests, that's who!
