      The Ukrainians aren’t fighting for the profits of arms manufacturers. They’re fighting for their lives and the existence of their country and culture. The Russians are an existential threat to Ukraine. What do you think is going to happen if young Ukrainians don’t fight? The Russians are just gonna go “fair enough” and go home? You’re an idiot if you think that’s even an option.

      You are obviously completely ignorant of Russian and Soviet history. Look what they have already done previously in countries they invaded in their imperialist conquest of eastern Europe.

      You think a draft would be bad to fight back invaders in your country? Wait until you get conscripted by that country who was invading you.
