    Workers, hearken, they are going to war

    And they yell: "For nation and race!"

    This war is the rulers of the world's

    Against the working classes!‎

    Remember when the libs here were saying only Russia does this and acting like it was beyond the pale?

    I do because it was yesterday.

    Huh that's gotta be the highest upvoted article critical of Ukraine regime i seen here.

    Either libs are already in the inevitable process of transforming from "kill ruZZian orcs" to "we never supported that war" or we are just out of peak hours for lib brigades.

    Every man who gets away stays alive to rebuild later. Every man who gets caught extends the war and dies for nothing.

    Itt liberals reveal that their is no depth of casual fascist bloodthirst they won't plumb. Pretending to care about Ukranians while they cheer for them getting rounded up and used as meatshields in a lost war.

      The western supremacists are willing to sacrifice every Ukranian civilian, to push NATO east.

        Exactly, the only reasonable and humane position is to end the bloodshed with diplomacy immediately

        lol no they aren't; they spent the last year calling Russians orcs and celebrating their deaths; don't give libs the benefit of the doubt; they're warping into modern day Nazis.

    ITT people that claim they hate trump have the same opinion on one of the biggest political issues for the same reason, they love Russian expansion.

      Ok, but like realistically what do you think the outcome in this war is? Do you think there is a realistic path forwards in which Ukraine beats Russia?

      If your answer to that is yes, then I don’t know what to say to you. Ukraine is getting overrun by material and people from its much larger opponent. The only way to tip that balance is the rest of nato going hot(er) and joining the war and then we have ww3 - which I hardly need to point out the devastating consequences of for the whole world.

      If your answer to that is no, then what does conscription of men and the continuation of the war achieve? Other than greater suffering, death and destruction. How can that be good? I don’t want Russia to win per-say, this is a brutal war between two reactionary powers. But I do wish for all the civilians in the affected area that the war stops, so their children will stop being killed in the collateral and they can stop sacrificing their sons and fathers to the meat grinder. It is clear that Ukraine isn’t winning so the path to peace is Russia wins.

      Russia winning is the most good realistic outcome.

    That's one take. Recently a bigger focus has been on how these men are avoiding their duties as citizens to protect their country, way of living and freedom. But draft dodging is fine from a pacifist point of view.

    Better that than being lured into a war as the Russians do.

    Edited to way of living to help the literally ones

      How would they be protecting their lives by going into a war zone? And if their freedom was important they wouldn't be getting pressed into service; as for protecting their country, no one cared that they were shirking that responsibility when they allowed Azov militia members to kill ethnic Russians (who identified as Ukrainian until they were being ethnically cleansed) without defending that part of their country. Why weren't Ukrainians defending that part of the country?

      If you're not ready to protect life and freedom by getting blown up within a week of arriving at the front in an unwinnable war you're a bad person.
