Got into it w/ my ultra-liberal mom this morning - she claims those videos are Russian propaganda. She was literally about to disown me

We don’t want boots on the ground, we want Ukrainians to have the weapons so they can inflict as much pain on Russianto the point where they say they’ve had enough and go home. Kinda like what happened to us in Afghanistan and Vietnam. (Both had far fewer fighters)

Picking up people who don’t want to fight, so that’s okay, right?

Those were imbedded ambush wars deep in dangerous terrain. Ukraine doesn’t have that advantage.

No. We want the war to be over. Just like the Ukrainian people do.

If you disagree with it that’s fine, but you better be out criticizing every other country who enforces draft laws (including our own).

Maybe Ukraine needs to quit selling the weapons we have for pennies on the dollar.

You’re right, they do want it over. That’s only happens one or two ways:

1. Cause Russia enough pain for them to leave.

2. Provide them with guarantees in exchange for a ceasefire.

What you guys aren’t getting is that Ukrainians are very aware that Russia doesn’t honor agreements unless they are forced to. This is the 2nd time they’ve tried to take Ukrainian territory and they’ve broken many cease fires along the way. This isn’t complicated.

How many times do you dumbasses have to be told that this isn’t going to happen? Ukraine doesn’t have the men to do that. The only thing that would help Ukraine is more soldiers, so unless your pussy arse is committed to that, you’re pissing in the wind.

1. Pro forever war
2. Peace

You can’t be for both

Also, they’re losing a ton of men due to desertion.

"revealed?"

Do you think it was some big secret?

Every knowledgeable person on the planet understands that Ukraine has manpower shortages.

For a decade, Trumpists have acted like Trump is revealing some manna from heaven, every time he spouts some commonly-known fact. Are we now transferring that hero-worship to Vance?

Driving around and physically kidnapping people off the streets isn’t a draft.

By "proven to be fake" do you mean some media mouthpiece said this video has been "debunked" or is there literal, tangible, proof of its lack of authenticity?

From what I understand, Ukraine doesn’t have a veterans administration nor a VA hospital. So if you get wounded forcibly fighting for your country and survive, you’re probably SOL for the rest of your life.

Ukraine has a system of "universal health care" ... or "socialized medicine," if you will.

Anyone wounded in the war will have health care for the rest of his life.

Now, whether that is GOOD health care is a separate question, but the same question has been asked of the VA.

A hundred years ago the forced impressment of someone was referred to as being "shangheid". I wonder if the modern iteration of this will become to "be Kyived".

This will NEVER happen. It’s not reality. This is a lost cause war for Ukraine.

Zelensky doesn’t want it to end because he wouldn’t be president for very much longer after it does. It’s a power move.
