Silly Ukrainians, American know better than to have civilians fight professional soldiers to defend their country... /Sarc
That’s a false comparison. What would make it a more apt comparison would be if the early American colonies were controlled by The French(as we control Ukraine) and The French wanted to use the colonies to fight a proxy war against their enemy, The British. We would die fighting for no higher cause, with no hope of freedom or sovereignty. The whole purpose would be just to give The British a black eye. And at the end of the war we would go back to being ruled by The French, whatever was left of us.
