    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.

      It’s super hard to get away now…

      Zelensky’s regime may have troubles with keeping the eastern border safe, but the western one is defended like no other (that is, from people trying to escape of course).

      And the bribes to get out legally are more than 10k$… For lots of us (especially for people living in villages) this is an amount of money we’ve never seen in a lifetime.

        we had to use coyotes when we left mexico for the united states and that experience has left my entire family in desperate need of psychological counseling for the last 5 decades.

        my heart breaks for the people who have to do something similar.

    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.

    Just today Zaluzhnyi (ex AFU Commander-in-Chief) said that if needed, they will start mobilizing (so kidnapping from the streets, etc.) women too.

    And then it finally going to be a proper, total genocide of Ukrainians…

    I am sure there are no red lines for Zelensky’s regime now… He can start murdering kids, and it will be met with western applause…

    @yogthos For any western liberal that is cheering on this bloodshed on behalf of Western capitalist powers, I invite you to jump on a plane and pick up a rifle.

    This conflict has only two outcomes. A peace deal through negotiations as with any war in history, or WWIII.

    Sadly, the American stance “we will fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian” is the reality. Once the smoke clears, if there was a victory, it will be the property of Western interests like Black Rock.

    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.
