Aren’t raped and murdered by Russian soldiers.

Too be fair, I don't blame them.  Zelensky and his generals are basically ordering them into Somme like charges against heavily fortified Russian lines, where they'll get chopped to shit en masse, while Zelesnky pals around with American Democrats and points at their corpse to go "Give me more money".

But hey, if Ukrainian men all die, blown apart in a muddy field, George Soros and the WEF will just repopulate Ukraine with hordes of illiterate, unwashed "migrants".

If Ukrainians had any balls they'd turn their rifles around and we'll get to see Zelensky's pinch little head being paraded around Victory Square on a pike.

2mil men have been called up, resulting in labor shortage. A 2mil man army at the front line would end things quickly, no? Given Russia only put something like 500k in the captured territory? And they've had almost 2 years to train them?

I don't understand why Ukraine didn't conscript more men early on. From the videos I've posted, called up 2mil men ages 18-60, out of a country with 38mil total population (well, 37 mil since I read that 1mil men fled early on). They should have had 1mil men trained within 1yr  and billions in money and equipment, easily. What am I missing in understanding why Ukraine doesn't win by numbers (assuming Russia wouldn't want to thrown their larger overall population at Ukraine)

"We're coming father Abraham, 300,00 more".  Draft riots broke out in NY City during the American civil war a week after the battle of Gettysburg.  Troops were sent to restore order.  Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) traveled out west to avoid serving after his militia time was up.  I would guess every war ever, has had volunteers and dodgers.

This, 100%.

There were a massive amount of people in America post 9/11 who ran to recruiting offices.

There were a huge number of Ukrainian men and women who grabbed rifles and began hunting Russian soldiers in the early days of the invasion when the Ukrainian army was reeling from the shock.

There were also a lot of people
Who didn’t enlist and didn’t do anything in both cases.

During the entire 10year Vietnam war there were roughly 200K draft dodgers from the USA.

That 650k number is 3.5x the number of active UKR soldiers and is roughly 25% greater than the size of the entire UKR military.
