Somewhere in the streets of Russian-occupied Simferopol, the capital of Crimea, a woman puts a sticker on the wall. It’s a short message, but if she is seen doing it, she will face arrest, prosecution, and likely, torture.
The message is: "Soon, we will be home again." On another
People are dying to keep your apartment building safe,
Just open the borders and there’s no need to protect me personally.
trashing them
I’m not trashing ukrainian soldiers. Conscription officers are not soldiers and never were. Neither are politicians.
It sounds like that’s really important to you.
It’s just that russians lives now supposedly valued way more than ukrainians while it was part of propaganda that russian lives worth nothing and ukrainians are part of civilized world and share its values.
“terrible mismanagement at battlefields or corruption”
“they only leech help from west and sacrifice people unwilling to fight in return without even trying to win”
“US/EU giving money to Ukraine is basically sponsoring kidnapping/torturing/killing people who don’t want to fight”
As well as on top of:
“sorry girls, that’s all cool and I like the vibe, but I’m not going to fight for you”
“it’s not like they can’t go to Ukraine-controlled territories and mobilize there and go to the frontlines if they really care for this country so much”
Military commandment is very bad. A lot of soldiers escape from there (AWOL/deserting), everybody is talking about this, even the most patriotic bloggers that oppose ceasefires etc.

How are regular ukrainian soldiers responsible for any of this? It’s the fault of our corrupt government. Most soldiers are also very unhappy with this mismanagement and and ask to not send people who will most likely desert from battlefield to their brigades.

Sure because that whole article is bullshit propaganda by people who will never have to fight in war themselves. Is it even moral to be allowed to have a voice in question of whether to continue the war when they aren’t even subject to conscription?
Like I said: If the military command was bad, Ukraine would have lost the war by now.

You’re avoiding fighting in the war. I will be perfectly willing to protect your right to speak on it, I guess, to “have a voice” as you put it. But I think under the system you propose, you’d be required to shut up and say nothing well before a group of partisans who are taking an active part in resisting the occupation. If you’re actively avoiding requirements to fight for Ukraine, why should you be “allowed” (in your system) to speak on their behalf?
I agree. I wanted to say it’s kind of immoral to write that propaganda when you’re not even fighting yourself. And it’s twice as immoral when you know that no one wants to fight anymore and people are forced against their will. Not that something should be banned.

Do you know how effective military forces are, when people are fighting against their will?
What’s your explanation for why Russia outnumbers Ukraine about 20-to-1, is outspending them by about 10-to-1, and is stalled about 100 km from the border, after three years of fighting?

I’ve pretty much decided you can get fucked.
