    Politicians never fight their wars. Conscription is slavery.

    Oh hey this is a shift for you. Maybe you're all about Russian military aggression until you find out that you might need to actually get your hands dirty?

      Unless someone steps in, Ukraine is gonna struggle to do this alone. They only have so many people and will naturally fall due to lack of man power, funding, and equip.

          That’s the other guys point. We haven’t used it since the 70s, but the system is still in place to be used. Easy to fire it up again.

            The ruling class never fights their wars, either.

                Summary

                Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered 160,000 more Russians aged 18–30 be drafted from April 1 to July 15, amid U.S.-brokered ceasefire talks.

                Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the Kremlin is preparing a major offensive in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia, accusing Russia of stalling negotiations to gain territorial leverage.

                Over 100,000 Russian soldiers are confirmed dead. Ukraine reported 46,000 dead and 380,000 wounded.

                Ukrainians are also forcing their working class to go fight for their ruling class.

                https://kaotic.com/video/9fe428c5_20250330071906_t

                Videos are uploaded almost daily to Kaotic of Ukrainians being hauled off to die in a war.

                Pretty sure they're not allowed to leave the country, too.

                Maybe this is why Ukraine was never allowed in NATO. They are behaving very similarly to Russia.

                  No. The hardest math is some insanely light algebra too. X = 5y kind of stuff.

                  It still opens the door to enlistment and being harassed to join the military, conning poor kids into making a mistake.

                    Let's just imagine what it would look like if Europe mobilized and armed 160,000 soldiers. The fact that it sees undoable for most tells us how badly situated we are...

                    Pretty much the only Western-aligned nation that's ready to fight a war is Israel.

                    War, for Americans, really is just all fun and games right now. Most people haven't seen friends die. When that starts happening and the reality of war sets in, I don't think most Westerners will stick around. They value their lives too much.

                      This is America's future. Conscription is in Project 2025 and make no mistakes about it. The Christian Nationalist Death Cult would love to send you to the front.

                      Eh. I've already resolved that if I get conscripted and can't run away, I'll just open fire on my squad the moment we enter combat.

                        Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.

                        Fighting communism.

                        Really puts into perspective who is pulling the strings over in the Land of Freedom. Here's a hint: their children are never the ones to die in a war.

                            I mean, you can also fail out at basic too IIRC.

                            Also, you need a college degree to be a commissioned officer.

                            You only fall out of basic if you're an invalid. The military is very good at beating compliance into anyone else.

                              Ukraine is fighting an existential defensive war to save their country. Their soldiers fight to defend their loved ones and families.

                              It's bleeding out over a proxy war certainly. But it's existence was foreclosed during Maidan. The civil war was the end of Ukraine. This is just dogs fighting over the corpse

                                  Have you not heard about the Maidan Revolution and subsequent civil war? The sharp divide between East and West, resulting in militia violence and hundreds of thousands of displaced residents? The billions in property destruction resulting from eleven years of armed conflict? The wholesale privatization of the remaining Ukrainian economy? Collapses in education, health care, transport, and energy within the country? Mass conscription and casualties resulting in depopulation of working-aged Ukrainians?

                                  Or do you believe "Civil Wars are bad for your country" is a Evil Foreigner talking point?

                                    That’s the other guys point. We haven’t used it since the 70s, but the system is still in place to be used. Easy to fire it up again.

                                    My point was at least half or more of the US population has little-to-no-memory of what that was like.

                                    My dad was drafted during the Vietnam era but I'm in my 50's and have no actual memory of that time.

                                    I know it happened but I was really young when they stopped the draft and we've had several generations born since then who also have no memory of it.

                                    It would be politically dangerous for a government to restart a draft absent an actual world war-type situation or a dictatorship.

                                      Ukrainians are also forcing their working class to go fight for their ruling class.

                                      Maybe this is why Ukraine was never allowed in NATO. They are behaving very similarly to Russia.

                                      And the propaganda you're trying to feed is straight from Russia with love through a "Russian filter".

                                      Ignoring the fact you're a troll: one of these countries was invaded, and is taking every measure possible to secure their continued existence. One of these countries invaded a sovereign nation, and is wasting citizen lives for no reason beyond an insane, expansionist dictator's whims.

                                      These are not the same, no matter how many times you try to spew the false equivalency.

                                          Videos are uploaded almost daily to Kaotic of Ukrainians being hauled off to die in a war.

                                          Pretty sure they're not allowed to leave the country, too.

                                          Maybe this is why Ukraine was never allowed in NATO. They are behaving very similarly to Russia.
