    The Russians are at their doorstep with guns. You can’t just sit there saying “I don’t have a fight with you” and expect them to peacefully leave. They’ve already shot your neighbours. The choice is not yours. You either fight or you die.

        Same old bullshit copy pasta from the Kremlin.

        How do you not understand that Russia has invaded their country and is murdering them and stealing their land?

        If someone broke into your house and was about to shoot you and your teenage daughter and wife were in the other room would you be like “yeah I don’t believe in violence”? What good would that do?

        Same bullshit Kremlin copy pasta. Russia is the only country to blame for their imperialistic war, where they are murdering Ukrainians and stealing their land.

        Do you support Russia?

          They didn’t say Russia wasn’t to blame, or that what Russia is doing is justified. They said - and I happen to agree - that conscription is always wrong. No one should, under any circumstance, be compelled by force to fight and die for their state or for any other reason. The choice to risk one’s own life for a cause - even a cause of defense - is your choice alone.

          Should young Ukrainians volunteer to defend their independence? Probably, but that’s up to them, or at least it should be.

              You think it’s not absolutely obvious to all of us that no one should be conscripted to fight if they don’t want to? Genocidal Russia decided that wasn’t an option. Save your grief for them.

            I’m not talking about Hamas. I’m talking about you parroting Russian propaganda and how you think it’s cute to trivialize Russia’s imperialistic war in Ukraine. Where Vladimir Putin and the Russians that support him decide it’s okay to murder civilians to steal their land. That’s who you are aligning yourself with.
