"this war is totally about NATO defending innocent Ukrainians from Russia," cries NATO, as it deports innocent Ukrainians back to the war zone. And here's the kicker: The Ukrainian government needs them to do this, because it's nearly run out of military age males to draft human traffick into mine fields with insufficient training who are still in the country.
what if revolutionary defeatism? what if no war but class war? what if the ukrainian proletariat doesn't deserve to be used as meat shields for the preemptive geopolitical jockeying of NATO against BRICS?
Some forced conscription videos
- manhandled by seven troops and forced into a yellow van
- recruiter punches man to bait him into agitation, the others take him down, slamming him into some stairs, beating him and shoving him into a van
- witnesses film man detained by recruiters on a side walk as they drive by
- woman captured on security camera bidding her husband(?) farewell as he is suddenly conscripted in public, after stepping out of his vehicle
- family try to protect man as he is forcefully conscripted
- man physically coerced into recruitment bus by armed soldiers
- drivers film man being chased on foot by recruiters
- man held down and zip tied by recruiters
- man beaten and shoved into the trunk of a van
- man beams recruiter in the face with a rock before making a run for it
- man grasps onto sign post as he is manhandled by several recruiters
- man appears to break down into tears from a distance as he is coerced into military service
- family cries out and attempts to rescue man from recruitment
BONUS:
Fun fact: that's a breach of their human rights. You can't extradite refugees so they will be drafted into war.
Capitalism only believes in inconsistently enforced "human rights," and asymmetrically enforced "human rights," which are able to be withdrawn at a moment's noticed by so-called "representatives". And they only believe in these insofar as they can be used as a sort of social sedative against revolutionary agitation.
So far I have mostly seen "human rights" being used as a cudgel by western powers against others nations, while conveniently ignored when concerning vassal countries (Blowback s4 is great btw)
When they say they want to fight to the last Ukrainian, they really mean to the last Ukrainian
they want to fight to the last Ukrainian, they really mean to the last Ukrainian
another impoverished country that thinks america is benevolent. nah, they just want your grain and other resources, and dead russians.
Well not exactly they'll just say any evidence of it is Ruzzian disinformatzia and anybody who posts it is just a republican and not engage with it at all.
Lmao kyiv independent "well acshually 🤓"d this:
Ukrainians evading conscription abroad may be extradited "individually" but there will be no "mass extradition," Fedir Venislavsky, President Voldymyr Zelensky's representative in the Verkhovna Rada, said on Sept. 5.
Venislavsky said that legally there is no procedure for the mass extradition of Ukrainian citizens from abroad as criminal liability has a personalized individual character.
On Sept. 4, Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita published an article saying that men who illegally left Ukraine may be extradited to their homeland.

Likely because it's a news, but on google it's above the UN's page if you google whether this is legal.
Uhm, it's not mass deportation, it's thousands of individual deportations. What don't you get about this, tankie?
Holy fucking shit they're drafting people into this war?? Over literal lines on a map???
Ukraine cut loose prisoners with military experience to throw them into the grinder very early on in this war lol
I'm surprised it took them this long to request something like this
B-b-b-but I thought only the ebul rooskies were recruiting prisoners!!1!1! That's what all my reliable news sources The New York Times, Azov's The Stormer, and The Kyiv Only Truth No Propaganda Here have told me!!!1!1!
NATO has also made sure that Ukrainian people can't revolt against this anymore by arming ultra nationalist Nazis to the teeth.
I think there's an important difference here between capitalist and socialist uses. The bourgeoise state vs proletarian state. One is in service of the bourgeoisie while one is in service of the proletariat. One is in service of exploitation while one is in service of liberation from exploitation.
