Putin launches largest military draft in years despite ceasefire talks
-
One of the reasons russia could invade ukraine is because they have an army of conscripts. Rulers and politicians use people as their paws. Be wary of any ruler or government drafting people by force even when their claim is "defense", not being drafted by force does not limit the ability of individuals to defend themself.
When that population crashes and burns over the next 50 years it's gonna be a hell of a thing to hear about

They're Russian, stop trying to bring reason into it.
I'm sure they genuinely think that now the US will attack Europe and they can invade on 2 fronts.
Russians are just insane morons.

Oh, absolutely. However, insanity can help only that much with invasion.

Red, white and bluelandia wants a word with you. Do you really think it's impossible? At this point I'm not that sure anymore.
Russians are just insane morons.
I'd disagree to some extent. Call Putin what you want (and rightly so), but he is not a moron (as opposite to the Orange one).
The common people is that or just don't have a choice. -
This isn't for Ukraine.
This is for Europe.
I predict an uptick of Rafale, EF2000, and JAS-39 sales in Europe, and that the models offered will be wired for nuclear delivery should the need arise.
I feel awful that our government is breaking bad over on this side of the pond… but at the same time, I think open violent revolt and civil war would be a believable scenario if orangeboi actually tries to Molotov-Ribbentrop all of fucking Europe with Putin.

ooooo those French!
Vive la Republique

He 100% will or has done that, remember the secret protocol was secret.
The other shoe always drops later.

The common people is that or just don't have a choice.Putin was brilliant, his moves until 2008 were a perfection of geopolitical chess.
After that he completely lost the plot, his terror at the rise of China completely broke his mind, he felt he had to show strength less Russia become a vassal state and resource depot for the CPC.
And he wasn't wrong, but his response was stupid, and relied on Europe continuing to follow Merkel's 'nice doggy' policies.
Now he thinks he can act anyway, because his sponsored right-wing groups will cause enough dissent that nobody will stop him from taking the baltics.

Ukrainians die to protect their homeland against invasion. Russians die for needless oligarchic aspirations of dominion of the elite. It’s not the same thing for either side, as many like to make it seem as if Ukraine has any responsibility in the matter.
I think what some people are arguing about is that ukraine government practices much resemble these of the russian government. Ukraine government is also drafting people by force and arresting any male between 18-60 who tries to leave the border. Many people died as a result trying to flee.

Drafting people by force is a needless authoritarian practice in any scenario.
This is how it works when your country has war on it's land, it doesn't matter what system of government you have.
I would expect any European country to react the same with war on their land.
War is hell on earth

Any numbers on that last claim? Maybe compare it to number of people who already fled, and number of civilians who died from russian rockets.

I hear Donald Trump is good at polishing Russian equipment.
I've heard that as well.

Sweden, long known for being neutral (up until joining NATO last year) and peaceful, can by law compel every single swedish citizen between the ages of 16 and 70 to serve during wartime. If it is deemed necessary, even non-citizens in Sweden can be included in this.
Exactly as you state, almost every sovereign country on the planet likely has some version of this.

Summary
Vladimir Putin ordered the conscription of 160,000 men—the largest draft since 2011—despite ongoing U.S.-mediated ceasefire talks with Ukraine.
The move raises doubts about Russia’s commitment to diplomacy, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of using talks to buy time for battlefield gains in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia.
Ukraine claims Russia intends to escalate the war, citing forced contracts for conscripts. Losses remain high on both sides, with Russia reportedly losing over 100,000 troops in 2024 alone.
HitlerPig is watching and learning. When he launches his wars, they will definitely be accompanied by a draft.
I will state this unequivocally: I will NEVER allow my son to be drafted into a MAGA War of Economic Oppprtunity. And if they somehow grab him and press him into military slavery, I will have nothing left to lose, and I will become a very dangerous individual to my son's slavemasters. And I won't be alone.

Between Zelensky publicly stating Putin has health issues and will die soon, and the recent incident with Putin’s limousine, he may not have a whole lot longer in any event. One can only hope…
Putin's limo explosion got very little exposure in the American media. They don't want anyone getting any big ideas about a rising resistance.

smart guy, knows now usa will not help, unless you have rare minerals so countries without minerals are in danger. And regarding peace I do not think he is interested in peace, he wants young men dying so he can also accept his own inevitable death eventually.

I would expect the same, most of them are ruled by corrupted politicians with blood on their hands
War is hell on earth
I agree, drafting people by force brings you closer to hell.

What an ignorant comment. Just because your Russian doesn't automatically mean your an insane moron based on where you were born and raised. There's people from all walks of life in all countries. Not everyone or everything is tied in a black and white box. Plenty of Russians are against war and the current geopolitcal climate.

Side note, but this image of Putin as a gay clown is banned in Russia.
