Ukraine urgently needs soldiers, but some men are desperate not to fight

Ukraine urgently needs new soldiers, but some — left uneasy by brutal fighting and intensifying conscription efforts — are desperately trying to avoid being called up.

“When you see people in uniform, you panic. You start thinking someone will mobilize you now against your will,” a lawyer based in Kyiv told NBC News. He did not want his identity known, fearful, like a growing number of men across the country, of being drafted into the army...

“I love my country,” he said in a phone interview earlier this month. “I donate to the Ukrainian army. But unfortunately, I am not very prepared to fight on the front lines because I don’t have the experience and I am probably not morally prepared to kill somebody, even if it’s someone Russian.”

The fruit of Zeeperdom is death. Never forget that.

Zelensky has recreated the worst of the old USSR: a new Berlin wall that men die trying to cross to escape the country, a prison system that kills dissidents (Gonzalo Lira RIP); government control of media; canceled elections; one man rule under martial law; harassment of religion and churches.

The people who would benefit most from Globohomo, like this Kiev lawyer, are also the ones that have the least interest in fighting for it.

That’s why Globohomo itself, and not just the the Kiev Regime, is going to fall to conquest.

Amazing, so why is a country that has so many more men than Ukraine, “recruiting” 10s of thousands of foreign nationals to fight instead of just using their own vast superiority in manpower?

Just replace zeeperdom with Russian mir and zalinsky with Putin and you actually have it about right

Sounds like Vietnam - the locals don’t want to fight so the South Vietnamese government imports foreigners (Americans) to fight for them.

We should fly all those illegals crossing our border to Ukraine instead of US cities.

Zelensky is officially a dictator as his term expired last week. He canceled the elections and now rules without being elected.

Zelensky sure likes sending white Christian men to their death.

Do you really believe the Bidens are going to concede the election to Donald Trump, when he wins?
Remember, they’re accusing him of becoming a dictator on day one.
Also, remember, Democrats always accuse the Right of doing exactly what they are doing themselves.
There will be no peaceful transition of power in D.C. in January, bank on it.

Perhaps you are right, since Putin loves to send “off-white” people to do his fighting, according to you that is better, sounds kind of aryan.

As to dictator, well takes one to know one lol, but I know that you know martial law was enacted due to something, can’t quite put my finger on it, oh yea Putins invasion of Ukraine, and the constitution delays elections during martial law, but he is in good company apparently Churchill was a dictator too, by your definition

So much projection going on here

Dictators will always have an excuse to suspend elections.

...that or elections by mail.

Because if it was good enough for a worldwide pandemic that was going to kill hundreds of millions...
