    Can you point out the disinformation?

    I did. Read my first comment. I specified where the disinformation is, and you would be wise to heed that these are almost verbatim Russian propaganda talking points they use to justify why they should just be allowed to take Ukraine.

    Whether you think it’s fair for the draft to exist is irrelevant when you’re staring down the barrel of an invading country. They’re coming, and the draft exists to ensure the country does as well. I am sorry for them that people are trying to escape the draft, but again: war is not fair.

    If the draft didn’t exist, the end result would be might makes right. The countries who didn’t have enough volunteers would lose, and the country with the bigger stick would always be the victor. Human lives would be spared, sure, but at what cost? Living as a conquered people is not defacto better just because you’re alive. One need only look at history to see that fact.

    I’m just highlighting that meeting the world most powerful rulers in their headquarters is not the same as rooting in a trench.

    Nobody said it was. But that doesn’t mean he’s never been in the trenches or that what he’s doing isn’t still vital. War isn’t fair.

    Indeed if it wasn’t for deluded maniacs with power ambitions we wouldn’t have the draft, that’s why i’m calling them out.

    Since you said “them,” I’m going to assume you’re including Zelenski. The draft isn’t a grab for power. It’s not some method of controlling the population. It’s a last resort method of survival, and last resorts of any kind usually come with heavy costs, or else they would be first resorts.

    So you’re not “calling anyone out” or saying anything particularly novel or relevant to human rights when “rights” are a privilege you get from a society that is not at war. War is not fair.

      I did. Read my first comment.

      I already replied to your first comment and the others. I’m not posting any disinformation, just because you don’t like it or the russian are saying it doesn’t imply that what i’m saying is false or wrong.

      and the draft exists to ensure the country does as well.

      A country does not exist because of forced conscription. People can defend themself even without authoritarian leaders drafting them by force. Your claim is that ukraine still exist only because they drafted people against their will, you are basically implying ukraine people are cowards and should be forced to fight.

      If the draft didn’t exist, the end result would be might makes right. The countries who didn’t have enough volunteers would lose, and the country with the bigger stick would always be the victor. Human lives would be spared, sure, but at what cost? Living as a conquered people is not defacto better just because you’re alive. One need only look at history to see that fact.

      You talk like a villain, wars are fought by real people who die in the most miserable way. I encourage you to watch the combat footage out of this war to look at what is happening.

        It’s not my fault you can’t read and don’t get it. Propaganda always has a kernel of truth—that’s what makes it effective. That doesn’t mean it’s a complete truth. It’s not my job to educate you, and it should bother you that you’re spreading propaganda, not truth. The fact that it doesn’t bother you says a lot about your intentions.

        …you are basically implying ukraine people are cowards and should be forced to fight.

        LMAO. Sure, Jan. That’s definitely what I was implying and not that the prospect of death scares people into running away. That you construed cowardice when I see humanity says a lot about you.

        You talk like a villain, wars are fought by real people who die in the most miserable way.

        Yeah, I’m the bad guy here. Lol. How many times did I say that “war isn’t fair,” again?

        You’re not convincing anyone. I and many others have already pointed out why YDI, why your comments were removed, why what you said is propaganda, and refuted your arguments ad nauseum. If that’s not enough to persuade you that you’re in the wrong, then you have already made the choice not to learn from it, and I can only conclude that you’re spreading disinformation in earnest.

          you’re spreading propaganda, not truth.

          If you believe highlighting human right violations such as drafting people by force and not allowing everyone to leave a country is spreading propaganda than you are a victim of the propaganda yourself. Are you aware that there’s propaganda in every country and not just in russia?

          That’s definitely what I was implying and not that the prospect of death scares people into running away

          “coward: a person who is contemptibly lacking in the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.”

          You are just remarking your implication that ukraine people are cowards.

            You and I both know that’s not what you said. It’s in the modlog, and multiple people have all seen it and pointed out where and what the propaganda is and why it was removed. Pretending those preceding sentences don’t exist is peak troll behavior.

            coward: a person who is contemptibly lacking in the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.

            See that word “contemptible?” Point to where I said or implied that it was contemptible to be afraid of death.

            But revisionism and lying on top of not understanding how to comprehend a basic definition is totally on point for you, based on this and other exchanges.

            Again, nobody is swayed by your bullshit. Try harder, troll.

              If you haven’t noticed it there’s a screenshot of the removed posts at the top of this thread

              Again, nobody is swayed by your bullshit. Try harder, troll.

              You are calling my arguments bullshit and labeling me as a troll, try to be more patient and read more carefully because you are not sounding smart.

                I don’t particularly care if you think I’m the dumbest fucking person in existence. You’ve been dishonest, stubborn, and obtuse, so your opinion of how I sound to you is near the bottom of things that matter to me.

                Bye.
