    The thing is: Without boots on the ground, the country will stop to exist. And russia will not stop at ukraine. Any ukrainian person capable of walking and holding a gun will likely be drafted for whatever front will open up next.

    So maybe, just maybe, Ukrainians don’t care about the colors of the flag they are living under? Maybe, just maybe, it’s the west and Zelensky for whom it makes a difference, and who kill innocent people chasing THEIR goals?
    Maybe, just maybe, your opinion is different from opinions of people who actually get slaughtered, maybe they don’t actually think that they will be killed by Russia/Putin and they would prefer that to dying for Zelensky’s regime?

    If zelensky is as evil as you are painting him, he would have done a 16+ draft from day 1. But he didn’t.

    Because he needs to create at least some kind of illusion that he is the good guy, doesn’t he?
    After reading some headlines saying “Zelensky kidnaps boys (or maybe girls too) aged 16 (why not 14 though, there are already some “people” saying that if needed - 14 year olds will be mobilized as well) are kidnapped and sent to the meatgrinder” probably even democrats/liberals would stop supporting this madness? At least I hope they would, I don’t know if there are ANY red lines here…

    It kind of does. espeically the forceful drafting. But due to the massive population difference it’s not that noticable

    That’s awful, why does nobody talk about it? I don’t see it mentioned in the news lately, while Zelensky’s regime kidnappings are very well covered even in the western media nowadays. Whoever does not put this into mass media is doing Russians a favour, because some naive folks like me might start thinking that it’s actually Zelensky’s regime who does it, and people on Russia controlled territories are way safer and have more freedom than those who are on Zelensky controlled territories.

    You’re not going to frag any recruitement officers due to the lack of any grenades (I highly assume. maybe you stocked up).

    It doesn’t have to be a grenade - “Fragging is the deliberate or attempted killing of a soldier, usually a superior, by a fellow soldier.”. Whatever wounds/kills your kidnapper (or anybody connected with kidnapping and sending people to their deaths) thus preventing them from hurting more people is good enough.

    If you want to hurt the people responsible: if you get drafted and resigned to off yourself, might as well get to the front and take out some occupiers instead of dying by hurting the defending army

    Fighting for Zelensky’s regime will only encourage him to kidnap and hurt more people, it’s morally wrong to help him in any way. Fighting him and his regime is the thing that might saves lives.

    Sounds like it’s worth a try.

    If that’s directed to me, then well - thank you for your concern, but fortunately I left the country shortly before the war started, so I will only need to fight for my life if Zelensky’s regime will convince other governments to start deporting people from other countries (thankfully he did not manage to do that at least for now).
    That’s not the case for my friends and family most of whom are still in Ukraine. They all mostly hope to not be kidnapped until Zelensky’s regime is gone.
