    I remember Russians being turned back at the border when conscription started. Isn't that the literal opposite of what would hurt Russia's war effort.

      I'm glad you mentioned this, because despite that being the heroic thing to do (Vietnam draft dodgers are the real heroes (on the American side) of that war), I still saw so much hatred for them on twitter. There were people saying they should've stayed in Russia and protested the war instead. There was a (singer?) who committed suicide because he believed the war to be immoral and didn't want to have to kill innocents, and even he was getting tons of hate.

        I hadn't heard this, that's very sad. Disgusting that someone could claim moral superiority over someone who literally died to avoid harming others.
