This is Dutch public broadcasting NOS reporting hit translation prompts to read in English about men fleeing military service in Ukraine.

They are sending men over 45 years old to their deaths with one month's training.

Who wouldn't want to serve the glorious Ukrainian cause on "The Russian Front"?

Both sides are throwing warm bodies into the meat grinder. The only winner of this war will be the corrupt politicians sho stole money from foreign aid.

Is a country even worth existing if it’s invaded and people aren’t volunteering en masse to defend it, but are rather attempting to escape and the government is trying its hardest to keep them in the country to die for it?

Utter evil haven’t enough people died in Ukraine from Stalin’s starvation of six million to the Nazi Holocaust atrocities and so on.

Now Ukrainians by the tens of thousands maybe more dying.

Our country is being invaded and barely a peep out of anyone including those in authority.

And America is certainly worth existing.

Don’t be disingenuous, you know what I mean by “invaded.”

From the Cambridge dictionary: Invade ~ to enter a place in large numbers, usually when unwanted and in order to take possession or do damage:
Hundreds of squatters have invaded waste land in the hope that they will be allowed to stay.

You can take it either way.

“he army, which is estimated to have around 500,000 men and women under arms”

I thought Ukraine had a pre-war population of around 40 million.

In WW2, about one in 10 Americans was in military service.

———-

Times change quickly in war. Current demographics show less than 28 million in country, some say as low as 20 million. As the Ukies are now conscripting woman ( chosen by occupation) says it all. Those millions that have fled will not return or will have to be hunted down and expelled….who is going to return to a nation where half of it lies in ruble?…..Just one of “ Zelensky’s Revenge” on the EU……

I think it was Putin who said BEFORE this war during a speech that if it happened there would be no winners.

Ukrainians wanted Ukraine to join the European Union prior to the war; not to improve Ukraine but so that they could get their EU work cards and leave.

Add war and the risk of injury or death and they would only want to leave even more.

Zelensky sure benefits from sending Christian men to their death.

No one ever argued that the Ukies are the sharpest bulbs in the drawers.

I see a lot of the Ah Q spirit in Russian troll comments.

The true Ukie death toll is gonna blow your hair back when it gets revealed - after the Western neocons are done wiping their bottoms with dead Ukrainians.

If we didn’t pull off a coup in 2014 Ukraine would have never had to go to war.

Decades of abysmal birth rates previously made Ukraine an aged nation. Now the young combat dead make it calamitous
