They weren’t fleeing the draft in early 2022, they were fleeing the Russians.
Even Russian Ukrainians fled the Russian controlled areas after Bucha, Mariupol and the wholesale kidnap of kids on summer camps across the border in what they thought was a friendly neighbor.
The Russian leadership is to Eastern Europe what Hamas is to Israelis. They’ve gone completely Tonto and are throwing their own people into Putin’s vanity meat grinder, why, because Ukraine didn’t want to be Putin’s bitch.
The best thing that could happen to Russia right now is if the Duginists including Medvedev and Putin got fed slowly and feet first thru a wood chipper live on Russian TV, broadcast pour encourager les autres who think Russia needs to be an empire.
Putin tried everything anybody could think of to avoid this war. He was forced into it and, so far, has made monkeys of the nato fops, hoho nazis, and neocon wankers who started it. He is the best leader Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter and the best national leader in the world today.
By way of contrast, the pig-boy (Biden) is a candidate for worst leader any troup of ten or more apes, monkeys, hominids, or humans has ever had since the day of Alley Oop.
