Coincidentally, the neocons are Trotskyites. Go figure.

Like many of his male friends, Serhiy no longer leaves his home in western Ukraine for fear of being sent to the front line to replace soldiers killed or injured in the fight against Russia.
The construction worker spends his days hiding from military officials serving call-up papers at bars, beaches, checkpoints, malls and even church services.
One woman complained that officials even chased an 18-year-old riding his bicycle to serve his call-up documents. ‘It’s like some kind of wild boar hunt,’ she said.
‘Why do you need to send to war a person who doesn’t want to go there if, like me, they aren’t motivated or properly trained?’ he said.
Men have been served call-up documents at the entrance to a church in Lviv, reportedly sparking protests from priests.
Another group of men were issued with call-up papers while detained by police at a Kyiv nightclub after the 11pm curfew. Officials claimed 219 received conscription notices.
Ivan, 35, a computer specialist, said that ‘every day’ he sees messages on social media about people in his sector being handed call-up papers ‘in the most random places’
‘I don’t see anything wrong with me not going to the battlefield and helping from Kyiv,’ he said.
Since the end of April, several videos have been posted on social media by frontline soldiers saying they lack the right leadership, training or equipment – and in some cases refusing to fight.
Thirty soldiers from another brigade said they had retreated because they did not have a leader and were dumped as ‘unprepared people with no military experience’ in a combat zone.
Another group of 60 in a rifle battalion said they were ‘thrown’ on the front line without suitable training and then attacked with phosphorus weapons by Russians.

Behind them, are placed nationalist battalions, often full of extremists, to prevent any possible escape or retreat.
Zelensky, Soros, Biden, Bush, Romney, and other assorted globohomos thank them for dying for them. Well, not really. They don’t care one bit about the Ukraine people. They’re just worthless pawns to be toyed with and used. The globohomos are willing to fight until the last Ukrainian. Don’t worry, the globohomos will be eating caviar tonight at their country clubs and mansions while you die in their wars.
A question from someone who doesn't understand.
Those poor kids. I saw a survey of Ukrainians saying 80% want a negotiated to this war, but the criminal puppet Zelensky doesn’t answer to the Ukrainian people. Like I’ve been saying, some Ukrainian patriot needs to take punk Zelensky out.
Coincidentally, the neocons are Trotskyites. Go figure.
All men 16-60 are conscripted
All disabled men.
All women 16-60.
Slave gangs going to pools literally pulling 50 year old men out of the swim lane and sending them to the front.
It’s madness with a tyrant in change.
At this point I suspect crossing into Russia is a better option for Ukrainians who do not want to fight for Bidens war.
Welcome to every modern war. This has been so since the French Revolutionaries implemented the modern idea of general conscription in 1793. Napoleon conquered Europe with conscripts. The Ukrainians in their trenches are just like the conscripted French Poilus at Verdun. The French won btw.
Well, they were, in the middle of an existential struggle for national survival, able to find the time to talk about how they would codify homosexual marriage rights in the Ukraine.
Priorities, priorities.
I have always thought that was a great quote.
Serve Zelensky now, or serve the Soviet Red Army later once the CCCP takes over because you refused to fight. Your choice.
Dude.
I can give you dozen of examples of the losing side using conscription too.
The average Ukrainian does not want to die for the corrupt to the bone Ukrainian government and the Zelensky tyrant.
Or a free one way trip to Siberia... Or a quick visit to a wall with some bullets heading their way from a KGB officer...
You could say the same about every modern war. You could say the same about the US Divisions in Normandy, the Hurtgen forest or at the Bulge. But still, they fought.
There is no choice.
Zelensky’s goons are literally pulling 50 year old men out of pools and church and sending them to the front.
“Serve Zelensky now, or serve the Soviet Red Army later once the CCCP takes over because you refused to fight. Your choice.”
Neither, it seems, is the average Russian eager to sign up to fight in Ukraine. The propaganda line is ridiculous.
As the contours become more clear… this is not “Putin’s war,” this is Biden’s war.
When he was installed I warned that the danger was not that he would do nothing, but that he would get us into a war, the wrong war at the wrong time at the wrong place. Sadly I see I was right.
We had about 32 years of the draft from about 1940/41 until 1973 and our country wasn’t being invaded.
Nope. But the US military was maintained in a wartime condition in case of the Cold War going hot. Its easy to see why, if you count the active, reserve and NG divisions at the time vs today.
Where are those who post on this site boasting on this thread how Ukraine is winning?
It’s only a matter of time, they say. Yes, it’s only a matter of time before Zelensky runs out of human cannon fodder.
