Yes yes, and if you think this is a senseless war that’ll instantly stop all future Russian aggression once it concludes in Russian favor, like trustworthy Putin has always promised, you can join the Russian army as a foreigner and help! Here’s some information to get you started: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/09/20/moscow-to-open-mil...

It’s a multicultural affair, Nepalese, Ethiopians, North Koreans, Indians, a real who’s who of the most privileged individuals lending a hand in this noble pursuit of saving Ukrainians from themselves. Unsure? Donate to Russian units today, they need vehicles, drones, and tourniquets. We officially don’t need help, the SMO is going great, but every bit helps! Put your money where your mouth is and help end the war!

Can’t do that? Assist the Russian psy-ops by repeating Russian talking points online to nudge your government to help us subjugate a people like it’s 1700! Don’t delay, start today!

This is hardly a Russian talking point. Russia does not want more Ukrainian soldiers.

The entire neocon press makes the point that people are evading service:

I don't blame them. That's why it would have been better to accept the Istanbul agreement while Ukraine had the upper hand. Naftali Bennett (hardly opposed to wars in principle) said that this agreement was sabotaged by the U.S., but he walked back that statement later.

I do blame Ukraine for not holding elections and finding out what people really want.

It’s against the fucking constitution in Ukraine to hold elections during wartime.

I don’t understand why people in west find that so hard to wrap their heads around, especially Americans.

Because it is a silly rule. These kind of wars drag on for 10 years. What if the population no longer wants it? Should they have another Maidan revolution?

What's hard to understand? It's Russian financed propaganda, with courier services provided by the far right and far left. The far right happens to be in control of the Republican party at the moment, so we hear more if it with that spin.

"It's okay that Putin is president for life, it's in their constitution - why can't Americans (especially Americans) wrap their head around that!"

Your response comes across as racist even if you did not intend it that way. Very much a "us civilized noble Europeans vs those Asiatic / brown savages" vibe.

I read as sarcasm: "Want to stop the war? Join it."
