The Economist has been very pro-Ukrainian in the past. The thuggish behavior of the Zelensky regime has even gone a bit too far for them, apparently.

Lots of videos of Ukrainian "recruiters" abducting men off the streets of their cities. And not just young men, the draft now extends to men up to age 60.

FYI.

Normal, adequate mobilization in Ukraine continues, footage from the Carpathians

Forced mobilization in Ukraine

New voluntarily mobilized, this time Cherkasy.

Mobilization in Ukraine

Representatives of the Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices began to hand out subpoenas in cemeteries. One of the mobilized was given a summons immediately after he buried his brother, who was also called for mobilization.

Odessa, mobilization continues.

"Mobilization in Ukraine is proceeding normally

Drafting men to fight in wars in never popular (with the men being drafted), that's a given.

Still, there is, it seems to me a quantitative difference between an organized draft (as the USA had during the Vietnam war) that had draft boards and allowed both concientious objectors and the alternative of going to jail.

(Which Mohammed Ali famously took, eventually prevailing in the Supreme Court Per Curiam (unanimous position of the entire court) against the Kentucky draft board)

AND

"Press Gangs" where a squad of rough men sieze you off the street, throw you in a van, and a week later you are in a trench in Donbas.

But that's just me. Many illustrious Freepers believe that Ukraine is a wonderful examplar of Democracy at it's best, and that no amount of US treasure is too much to gift them to continue their valiant deeds.

The war cheerleaders will have us believe that the Ukies are winning, and they will be marching into Crimea, using the Zelensky ( Hitler) Youth if needed.

I don’t know why he thinks he should be exempt - missing both hands doesn’t stop him from being cannon fodder.
