Ethiopia, ISIS, Vietnam, America, underdogs have and do win wars all the time. I mean if I'm doing odds I'd say 80/20 they lose, but it's not a sure thing. I don't know if they're better or worse off under Russian authority, and I'm a pacifist so I never approve of war or fighting, but it's also not my place to say others are wrong for wanting to fight to defend their country. And the sentiment of his country seems to be fight.
I will say the draft is bullshit. Saw a video of a dude on a bus almost out to Poland get pulled back in to fight.
They're handing guns out to people who have no history of gun use. Like, shot less than a magazine in their whole lives. These people are just cannon fodder, there's no way you get your hands on a gun for the first time on a Thursday and then Friday you're a trained guerrilla fighter.
I mean there's no time to train anyone, and their handing out guns to random civilians, not reservists or anything. I don't see how that ends in anything good.
I have seen a lot of videos of civilian militias capturing or killing Russians. It is effective, and IMO preferable to leaving them unarmed and helpless. It all sucks. War sucks. I don't want them killing Russians. But also they deserve the chance to defend themselves. When they fuck it up that will also suck. But I'm not God. I don't know what'st he right move and just criticizing them feels smug.
