Ukraine Resorting to Drafting Retarded Men

Video has surfaced apparently showing a mentally retarded man within the ranks of the Ukrainian military after the war torn nation abolished its ‘fit for limited military service‘ requirement.

While the notion of drafting retarded individuals may sound insane and abusive, just 8 percent of Ukrainian citizens are willing to take up arms against Russia, and with poll numbers like that it makes more sense why the Zelensky regime would be attracted to soldiers who cannot grasp the concept of death.

The nation also recently lowered its conscription age from 27 to 25 in a bid to replace the dwindling fighting force in its ongoing war against Russia.

The shortage of able-bodied, able-minded men has gotten so severe that entire towns are devoid of men and teams of conscription officers are kidnapping 14 year old boys in an attempt to fill the ranks.

Ukraine has at least a number of teenagers enlisted in their fighting force, and has also been conscripting senior citizens for military service, and is also considering drafting women too.

The U.S. has previously sought to force women to register for the draft, and Ron Paul has warned about this potential in 2020. Denmark is actively seeking to draft women.

While mental retardation has long been viewed by societies as an insurmountable hurtle for positions of responsibility over complex systems, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) programs are now seeking the mentally retarded for those very positions, such as at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

As potential Ukrainian military candidates continue to flee to freedom amidst calls for their return the pool of potential fighters gets meeker and less sophisticated, even to the point of retardation.

This is a most interesting thread, given that pejoratives and complaints about sources are featured.

Here is a UKRAINIAN source, verified and with citations, to show Ukrainian men still seeking ways to avoid conscription under the Zelensky administration.

"Over the past two years, NGL.media has repeatedly described various legal and criminal schemes used by Ukrainians to avoid mobilization: enrolling into universities, using Shliakh system, fake divorces and child custody etc. This time, we were interested in a less popular but no less effective option used by men subject to military service: fake marriages with women with disabilities to receive a deferral and cross the border.
"The main difficulty in such cases is that fake marriages are not treated as against the law in Ukraine, so this scheme is completely legal. Nevertheless, the police and the Security Service of Ukraine sometimes manage to detain people who make money from organizing such marriages.
"We decided to analyze the situation and found participants in this scheme who earn $1,500-5,000 for organizing marriages. Of course, there are no guarantees. We also talked to lawyers and law enforcement officers and even tried to marry off our journalist. And this is what happened." more....

Interesting that in Ukraine as of the middle of last month, one finds Ukrainians paying and other Ukrainians receiving "fees" to avoid conscription.

Apparently there are Ukrainians there this very moment looking NOT to become the "last Ukrainian," and, as with so much about this war, corruption is featured even now.

So much over two years into this war between two non-NATO nations seems about money, money and money. And continuing corruption. On all sides.

That last citation is interesting as one reads: "The report identifies many prominent investors, including Vanguard Group, Kopernik Global Investors, BNP Asset Management Holding, Goldman Sachs-owned NN Investment Partners Holdings, and Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway's sovereign wealth fund. A number of large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through NCH Capital – a US-based private equity fund, which is the fifth largest landholder in the country."

While YouTube monetized videos by "content creators" (many located in the United States) have been promoted, these are the chump change compared to the mega "war profiteering."

The big profiteering is being arranged, as above. The big profiteering isn't of interest to so many with passionate voices. But Ukraine is for sale. As 'war porn' is monetized, but on a much larger scale.

"...a 2001 moratorium on the sale of land to foreigners had always represented an obstacle to unrestrained privatisation. As post-Maidan governments turned again to the IMF for financing, aid was conditioned on a series of land reforms that would finally allow foreign corporations to acquire vast tracts of the country's farmland. In 2020, Zelenskyy gave in to the IMF's demands and finally repealed the moratorium. 'Agribusiness interests and oligarchs will be the primary beneficiaries of such reform,' said Olena Borodina of the Ukrainian Rural Development Network. 'This will only further marginalise smallholder farmers and risks severing them from their most valuable resource.' But the World Bank could barely contain its excitement, gushing: 'This is, without exaggeration, a historic event.' Even though the new law isn't set to come into force until next year, US and Western European agrobusinesses have already bought up millions of hectares of Ukraine's farmland — with 10 private companies reportedly controlling most of it."
