President Joe Biden’s administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of troops as young as 18.

    I agree with you 100%.

    The worst part, is that the barbaric warmongers are absolutely conscripting and coercing their population to go kill people.

    Clearly, the “Z nazis” are not to be convinced to simply stop throwing their lives away for a dictator. They actively recruit and reward people who revel in murder, and celebrate them as national heroes for their schoolchildren to look up to.

    So…what are the defenders to do?

      I would let the people who want to fight do so.

      Forcing 18 year olds to kill against their will is so insanely fucked up.

      You live till 18 and then die for the glory of a leader you didn’t agree to fight for. The second they grow up they’re told to die

        Somebody hasn’t paid attention to what happens in Russian Occupied Zones. They aren’t fighting for Zelensky.

          They are fighting for pride and the right to control the politics in the place they live.

          None of the reason has anything to do with the ethicality of forcing people to die the second they stop being children legally.

          Lol let’s make you fight against your will then since you seem so eager
