I downvoted you because you likened Russia to literally any other civilised country. You'd be hard pressed to find another example in the last 50 years in the West - maybe the Vietnam war and the American draft? Even then, a lot of conscripts were fighting for their country. I don't see many Russian patriots...What the fuck is there to laugh about? I just ask... It's particularly funny the point in which I say that in the military penal code of war of each Country there are specific articles with the purpose to avoid people to flee from a mobilization or a possible mobilization, or the point in which I don't exclude that military operations could be made even in winter? you look like sour geese to me.
I laughed caused it sounded like you where trying to downplay or somehow twist it to be okay what is happening with Russia when its certainly not normal or okay.What the fuck is there to laugh about?

Well, the thing is, Russian's protesting and fleeing aren't at the same level of risk as fleeing to Canada and protesting the Vietnam war. You do that in Russia, you might just be tortured to death. You get called a hippy and receive a suspended sentence in the US.What the fuck is there to laugh about? I just ask...

At least genuine ones not forced into it by fear of death, propaganda, or life in prison basically.....
There are some about. I've talked with a few.
I understand that perception, but that is not actually what he stated in his 14 minute address. The argument Russia Dictator Putin made was he would use every weapon to protect Russian territorial integrity (his words, not mine). Regarding some anti-Russians, the Dictator's statement: "They don't even hide it when they say Russia should be destroyed" is actually true. If we want MADD or much worse Cyber War, we can advocate Dr. Stangelove tactics, but the reality is the Russia Dictator is warning the West from the Russia borders (which they consider to include Crimea.) We can debate if this is right or wrong, and our best strategy to respond, but let's debate about what he actually said. There are a significant amount of Russia public still behind him and that do feel threatened by the West.
Lee, I would urge you revisit the history of the Vietnam war and USA.
Please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm in the UK and was born 4 years after the war ended. I know it was unpopular but I thought it polarised society, much more than the Russian mobilisation has.
lee look up kent state Vietnam protest...........
Lee - I lived through that age in USA, my cousin died in Vietnam War, and my older brother still has problems from the Vietnam War. The level of unpopularity of the Vietnam War in USA was off-the-charts. There are Russian people who actually believe their borders and territorial integrity are threatened by West in Ukraine. They may be wrong, etc., but no one believed the USA was actually threatened by Vietnam. So the Russian mobilization cannot even be a fraction of the hostility that the American draft was in USA. That is really important of context that is lost, because of the (rightful) contempt for the Russian Dictator Putin.
It's impossible. And this inability brings thermonuclear war closer every month. Not its probability. But the war itself.
A bit cynical your Post, isn't it?
Yea okay
i
Biden sucks big time. But at least with him in office we didn't give Ukraine over to Russia like Trump would of!!!!The real losers will be and have always been Ukrainians but at least Russia and Putin will not win which would have been worse I guess.
No a lot worse....
