    Ignoring the stupid and outright murderously insane shit in that post…

    Are they not aware that Ukrainian men were also conscripted? Ukraine quite literally locked down the borders and wouldn’t let men out and said “go protect the homeland!”

    I understand the conscripts thing is meant to he demoralizing or whatever like “you don’t even want this war! Give up!” but that fails when your own country is also conscripting and begging for people from around the world to come help fight Russia. This wasn’t exactly kept a secret either, so it’s just weird seeing it used in this way.

      Fascist blocking squads were quite violent with those they deemed cowards trying to desert…

      At least Russians who were drafted actually have a sane chance of survival…getting “drafted” by Ukronazis is a death sentence…
