JD Vance: you’re running out of troops and forcing men into the service to be slaughtered by the dozen | Zelensky: oh really where’d you get that info? 👇🏼

The audio is very disturbing; I had to turn it off while preparing this thread. The man's protests become the screams of a person who knows he's being sent to his death.
I first heard about men and boys being grabbed off the street in fall of 2023; a FReeper said she was disturbed by a video showing the forced conscription of a teen-aged boy and a disabled retired man. I read that crews in bomb shelters grabbed men seeking shelter during bombings, and one conscription team ordered pizza delivery and then conscripted the man who delivered it. I've watched other videos wherein wives/girlfriends attack those stealing the man from the street and some are successful. It takes a village...?
But I've been reading Ukrainian reports of shortages of ammo, and watching public videos of people forcibly conscripted, for almost 2 years now, so these promises to win if only given more money ring hollow. The head of the Ukrainian military was interviewed in The Economist, and he said he knew what he needed to win, and he knew NATO partners could not give it to him.
Zelensky launched the Kursk incursion to reverse Putin's interest and efforts in negotiating peace, in addition to support-the-narrative optics. But Zelensky's front lines had gaps and his exhausted men there didn't have enough ammo to begin with. So to equip the Kursk incursion, Zelensky took weapons, transports and ammunition from his failing front lines. The Russians continue to advance, increasingly finding outlying areas which offer no resistance.
None of Zelensky's drama and protestations are really about winning - it's about prolonging the war and deterring peace long enough to get the US involved, and of course, sweet sweet financial fraud.
When Potato (Biden) was in office our enemies had some control over the US and they wanted to cap it off by using the US military might (nukes?) to force regime change in Russia. WIth puppets in stalled in Russia and AMerica, the Deep State WEF/UN/EU/SOROS ETC. elites planned to take freedom from the world. The loss of this war devastates all of the New World Order plans so they aren't giving up. They will kill everyone they need to kill to get what they want - so Zelensky just launched another move on Russian territory, even though Russia continues to advance and the Ukraine can't support it's ragged front lines.
The EU couldn't get money together to replace money initially promised by Biden and withdrawn by Trump. The EU gave old hardware to Ukraine and let their own defenses lapse in key areas. But now Ukraine's advocates are saying the the EU will arm itself AND the Ukraine quickly. A CFR report said that it would take several years to build adequate air defense in Ukraine, but now the promises are flowing.
The US State Department and CIA helped overthrow the Ukraine in 2014. Russia annexed border regions in response. NATO built an army and fortifications in Ukraine and when ready, announced that Ukraine would be accepted into NATO, an international known red line known for decades.
Now that Trump is negotiating peace, NATO/Zelensky are sabotaging efforts with NATO members stating they will put troops in Ukraine and Zelensky launching another attack on Russian territory. This, while the Ukraine's defenses are falling and they are conscripting their own MIG pilots and maintenance crew.
The goal remains to get the US directly in conflict with Russia in Ukraine - boots on the ground. That was and still is the crux of Zelensky's 'victory plan' he introduced last year. The UN offered to put 'peace keeping' troops in Ukraine, and other EU nations offered troops, but Zelensky declined them all, because he 'needs' to get the US into Ukraine in order to start WWIII. Ukraine has become Deep State headquarters and they will continue throwing men and machines into it as long as they can.

Pres. Trump should tell him no $$ for Ukraine until he resigns.

If I were drafted in such a war, I’d lay down my weapons in the field and quit. I’m going to die anyway, so there is no point in trying to take a life.

That’s crazy. The guy is an overweight , middle age man far past the max age to enlist in the US military who has no business being shipped off to war.

Feel sorry for that dog, because the Zelenskyy’s troops will just abandon it on the streets.

Nabbed him right in front of a cemetery. How appropriate.

They often have little if any training and are given the poorest weapons, which they are not skilled at using, and very little ammo. It’s just execution death.

There another video abduction I saw just yesterday. Four thugs grabbed one guy while women we’re trying to stop them. I’ll see if I can find it.

I agree.

Zelensky, ever hear about the Presidential Daily Brief? We probably know what’s going on in your country as much or more so than you.

Zelensky is leading from behind. There is no way he would lead his troops from the front line.

If they don’t get Putin to sign something by May 9, (Russian Victory Day) he’ll probably just keep taking land. Unfortunately, he’s taking it faster and with less losses now.

Nice propaganda. Where does it demonstrate why this person was grabbed, or even why?

You do know Ukraine’s draft age is HIGH and we asked them to draft the younger men. Like Russia does.

You also know that every country at war, including the United States, conscripts men into the armed forces. Especially during our Civil War, WW2 and even Vietnam.

Plus all the verbiage and the childish comments here “I’d just kill myself because I know I’d die anyway!”

Boo hoo. Crying like true 60’s leftists.

Meanwhile in Russia they invite you over for tea and ask will you please die in another country for nothing, unlike Ukraine which is fighting for its own country. /s

And then the usual communist bs that the “real goal” is to involve the US in WW3 with Russia.

Meanwhile, Russia is the aggressor.

I support whatever TRUMP decides, but this childish left wing isolationist crap is nonsense.

I went back to look at the man more closely. Given he's running for his life, his stride is short and unsure, and he quickly falls on uneven ground. This person does seem older, stiff in the joints and without stamina to make it around a corner.
And again he looks stiff and rather weak, unsteady on his feet as he's dragged to the car, he almost has the strength of an older woman (not a slam - I'm saying he's quite limited for a male facing death - this is his best adrenalin response)
But this has been a complaint now for almost 2 years - they were sending barely trained conscripts, people who didn't know how to hold weapons, out to the front lines and there was a report, loudly denounced as "lies, all lies" which said the more experienced men on the front lines said these unwitting conscripts last no more than 2 hours.

A whole collection of Ukrainian abductions here:

Just wondering because even if this video is true (and the fact is that Ukraine has a HIGHER draft age than we want them to have),

Just wondering if you think when your own country is invaded, that draft age men should be out walking their dog having fun in a field while soldiers are dying and the country is under attack.

Because that’s the description of a coward traitor. We had millions of them in the 60’s and 70’s.

But you support that?

Yes but try drafting anyone nowadays and you’ll see a society cease to function. People will refuse. Millienials and gen Zs will just flat refuse myself included and I’m a millennial commissioned officer veteran. I’d move across the border before I picked up arms for globalists.

Perhaps it is because I was in the US military, I have a different mind set.
The first person I’d shoot is the one standing behind me trying to force me into a fight that I believe to be futile.
I may be killed, but If I can take that bastard with me, someone else may be safer.

What you’re describing is what the United States did during World War 2 in Europe, due to a manpower shortage.

They were quickly trained and suffered enormous casualties.

“During World War II, conscripts who underwent abbreviated training due to manpower shortages were often referred to as “Replacement Troops” or “Replacements.” In the U.S. Army, they were sometimes called “Replacement Infantry” or “Repple Depples,” a slang term derived from the official Replacement Depots where they were processed and assigned to units.

In the British Army, the term “Z Reservists” was sometimes used for conscripts recalled for service, though they generally received more comprehensive training. In the Soviet Union, poorly trained conscripts were sometimes derogatorily referred to as “Cannon Fodder” due to the extremely high casualty rates.”

When I see videos like this, and recall that Z cancelled the last election, I think to myself: "I wonder what the average Ukrainian actually wants?"

They need to have an election.
