      Drafts are barbaric.

      We shouldn’t accept this shit at any age in any country.

      If we all just fucking stopped doing the dirty work of warmongers we would no longer have wars.

        I agree with you 100%.

        The worst part, is that the barbaric warmongers are absolutely conscripting and coercing their population to go kill people.

        Clearly, the “Z nazis” are not to be convinced to simply stop throwing their lives away for a dictator. They actively recruit and reward people who revel in murder, and celebrate them as national heroes for their schoolchildren to look up to.

        So…what are the defenders to do?

          I would let the people who want to fight do so.

          Forcing 18 year olds to kill against their will is so insanely fucked up.

          You live till 18 and then die for the glory of a leader you didn’t agree to fight for. The second they grow up they’re told to die

              They are fighting for pride and the right to control the politics in the place they live.

              None of the reason has anything to do with the ethicality of forcing people to die the second they stop being children legally.

              Lol let’s make you fight against your will then since you seem so eager

                I’ve been to war already so you’re barking up the wrong tree.

                And no, the Russians have been caught raping, murdering, and pillaging. This isn’t just some fight over who controls the region where the people never see a difference.

                  Imagine fighting and killing other human beings and then contining to argue in favor of war.

                  Cringe

                  Maybe if you like killing so much you should enlist in Ukraine, i heard they’re drafting children as soon as it’s legal!

              The solution is for everyone to reject war.

              Making excuses to kill like in Ukraine is not any more just than any other excuse to kill.

              If we want the US to stay in control of the world then it’s necessary to fight Russia, but it’s not necessary for amy of them to die

                Aw shucks, is that all it takes? How’d we overlook that?? We’ll get cracking on that right away.

                In the meanwhile it makes sense for a country being invaded to do whatever it can for self preservation, especially in a defensive manner.

                    EDIT: I’m not going to bother. You believe that all it takes is for everyone in the world to reject war, with no viable plan instead of hand waiving “education will fix things”. Wishful thinking at best, forced indoctrination at worst.

                    No shit there would be no war if everyone was against war.

                    Tell you what, you manifest your dream with the Russians first to get the invading forces to be against war and I’ll take you seriously. Until then, the real world will go on, with or without you.

                The Russians are at their doorstep with guns. You can’t just sit there saying “I don’t have a fight with you” and expect them to peacefully leave. They’ve already shot your neighbours. The choice is not yours. You either fight or you die.

                  The choice isn’t yours when there’s a draft. If it’s so noble to die defending your state (not people, state) then it should be no problem getting enough volunteers.

                  Forcing people to fight for their government is wrong. Maybe some are ok with surrender over risking their life, maybe some are staunch pacifists, maybe some feel their lives won’t change very much under new leadership and would prefer to live.

                  Sending teens into a bloodbath by force isn’t good no matter how you try to spin it. Yes the alternative might be losing, but that is their choice.

                  You should go fight, they’re accepting foreign volunteers. You go do what you’re asking these children to do. It’s the right thing, isn’t it?

            You are obviously completely ignorant of Russian and Soviet history. Look what they have already done previously in countries they invaded in their imperialist conquest of eastern Europe.

            You think a draft would be bad to fight back invaders in your country? Wait until you get conscripted by that country who was invading you.

            The Ukrainians aren’t fighting for the profits of arms manufacturers. They’re fighting for their lives and the existence of their country and culture. The Russians are an existential threat to Ukraine. What do you think is going to happen if young Ukrainians don’t fight? The Russians are just gonna go “fair enough” and go home? You’re an idiot if you think that’s even an option.

        True, but if the random Russian conscript stopped doing Putin’s dirty work, he would be shot. That’s a pretty good motivator.
