The war in Ukraine has always seemed a strange blend of the contemporary and the historic. During my visits to various fronts, I have watched soldiers livestream drone battles on flat screens, explain to me how AI is helping them better target the enemy, and I have spent time in trenches that wouldn’t look out of place in World War I.
I was reminded of this when a Ukrainian friend recently told me about the growing problem of press gangs there.
Not too long ago, he and some friends got off at Kyiv train station and were immediately swarmed by a mob of masked soldiers checking the documents of all military-aged males and hauling off those without the necessary exemptions (these include being unfit to serve on health grounds, those in certain types of study, and those who have lost family members during military service) to various army facilities.
Many will almost certainly end up on the front, unwilling and undertrained.

This is a tragedy.
And US politicians like Schumer want to keep it going
They should be ashamed.
It's a meat grinder and totally unwinnable.
The average age of the Ukrainian army is now 43. In other words, we’ve slaughtered an entire generation of Ukrainian boys since DC torpedoed the peace negotiated a month into the war.
You can’t acquire Ukraine land and minerals, if there Ukrainians left alive to lay claim to the land.
Hitler killed as many Jews as possible for the same reason, so their wealth could not be claimed by any survivors.
It’s a tragedy but you wont hear the reality on the news
>It’s a meat grinder and totally unwinnable.<
All one has to do is compare Russia’s size and resources to Ukraine’s and you’ll know who the winner is going to be.
It’s not rocket science.
Yet, zeepers have a difficult time grasping this.
Zelensky sure likes sending white Christian men to their deaths.
They’re going to have to fight whether they want to or not. Today it’s Andriivka. Tomorrow the Russians will take Kyiv. It’s nothing but flat terrain.
Back to the 18th century are we?
Wonderful.
And totally unnecessary.
Vietnam.?
There have been videos of these press gangs on Twitter for at least a year by this point.
Took long enough for the Daily Mail to report on them.
I read, recently, that many of the men are begging family members to break their legs, so they don’t have to fight.
It’s a slaughterhouse. Bannon has been reporting on this, for a year, at least.
Yep. The Daily Mail tends to be a cheerleader for Zelensky.
Every Ukrainian man, woman & child is expendable for the inbred NeoCons. They delight in dead white Slavs.
For US politicians like Schumer, kickback profits justify the carnage.
“You can’t acquire Ukraine land and minerals, if there Ukrainians left alive to lay claim to the land. Hitler killed as many Jews as possible for the same reason, so their wealth could not be claimed by any survivors.”
So it seems strange that the Neocons have been doing all they can to make sure Ukrainians keep dying in the battlefields, when they could have cut a deal earlier, got better terms, and had much more Ukrainians alive.
They are patriots willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life! 🤡
All this to protect the rotten corrupt democrat party and all the politicians who used Ukraine as a piggy bank.

Kyiv was once the capitol of Russian. It’s essentially a civil war with Russian speaking populations on both sides.
