Quoted: I was able to buy tons of "liberated" military vehicle parts from Russia. I couldn't do it from Ukraine although recently I am getting busted Russian tank parts from them...off Russian tanks Your slanted claims don't line up with reality. It was an independent country prior to being conquered by the Russian and Soviet empires. It actually pre-existed the Rus by a good number of years and when Moscow was still a bog Kyiv had it's own churches, city, and was built up. There is a reason there is a thing known as the Kyivan Rus and the Rus. Russia has been practicing genocide in an attempt to erase Ukrainian identity. That's a stated goal of theirs and repeated by the Russian government. They stated Ukraine will no longer exist outside of a rump Government. The majority of people and land will be "Russified", thus why Russian teachers were captured in the fall of 2022. They were forcing Ukrainian children to be Russian. Our house isn't burning down. We have plenty of problems, but I have no doubt we can accomplish all of them at once given the brightness of the minds here. There are a ton of brave men who disagree with you. You focus on Stalin, FDR, and others while I point to Audie Murphy, Jon Basilone, and Baldomero López. There's enough honor and heroism in those last 3 to fill the Atlantic. The founding fathers sent foreign aid and had no problems begging for it, too. Franklin and Jefferson went to Paris to beg the French for help against the British. I too am a real American View Quote Those men would have had better lives at home, not having their lives injured or ended in avoidable wars, but hey, at least you can admire what they did, right? What branch were you in? “America isn’t burning down” yeah, that tells me all I need to know about you. |

Quoted: This. We are being invaded too. I'm not willing to die for the oligarchy. Let the people who live in the dark about who really controls things die for their patriotism. View Quote “No, it’s not a real invasion, because they are not where uniforms, they all don’t have guns, etc”-Redditors. These idiots really believe that. |

"It doesn't confirm my prejudices so it is wrong!" Facts don't care about your feelings. Quoted: This! With the intermarriage between Russians and Ukrainians I’m sure there are some men that feel like they can’t fight against either side. Any of that familial friendliness and kinship went away with the rape, murder, torture, and deportation of Ukrainians. I am an American by birth. I don't feel hostility towards anyone (except Oklahoma because they are sooners fans) but if Louisianna started wholesale war crimes I would not consider them as friends or "brothers" anymore. As the Russian drone shot down over Ukraine said "No brothers anymore" (or something like that). Quoted: Those men would have had better lives at home, not having their lives injured or ended in avoidable wars, but hey, at least you can admire what they did, right? What branch were you in? “America isn’t burning down” yeah, that tells me all I need to know about you. Currently still in If I go outside, what do I see? Prices are higher? Absolutely. Stop listening to the talking heads and getting brainwashed by the media. Get off the internet and go read a book. |

The same thing is happening in Russia. Russia has closed its borders for military fighting age males leaving and resorting to high bonuses for old men to fill their ranks. Make no doubt about it the Ukraine is a meat grinder.
What is overlooked is the Ukrainian forces have penetrated the Russian mine fields and are making advances along with successful attacks on Russian logistics. Russian losses are not sustainable. |

The deal for soldiers has gotten worse since forever.
Classical: Sack the richest cities in the world! Get a share of the plunder! Medieval: Sack your neighbor's hamlet! Get a share of the plunder! But be a good Christian! Early Modern: Fight a pointless war where we conquer nothing, but if we do happen to conquer something, you can get a share of the plunder! Napoleonic: Fight for a set wage, which we won't pay, and this ribbon showing your heroism! Oh, and we'll look the other way if you get some plunder! World Wars: Fight for a ribbon! Show your patriotism! We're checking your luggage for plunder! Vietnam: Fight for your country, at least the half that won't spit on you when you get back! War on Terror: Fight for your country, but not too hard, or we'll prosecute! Ukraine War: Fight for your country, so that when your wives and daughters come back with their foreign husbands and OnlyFans money they'll have somewhere to visit! |

As losses mount, Ukrainians fiercely debate future of draft
The patriotic impetus of the early months, when Ukrainians went en masse to the front voluntarily, is no longer there. More and more often, stories of men desperately trying to evade the draft appear in Ukrainian media. This part in particular is interesting The patriotic impetus of the early months, when Ukrainians went en masse to the front voluntarily, is no longer there. More and more often, stories of men desperately trying to evade the draft appear in Ukrainian media. - 'War is for the poor' - The proposed changes to the draft prompted an outcry on social media, with many floating ideas as to how best to manage mobilisation. Ruling party lawmaker Mariana Bezugla suggested exempting people from mobilisation in exchange for a substantial donation to the budget. There have also been calls for troops to be rotated and for those who have been at the front for a long time to be demobilised. "If this is a matter of national security, then all people, all citizens, should participate in it," said Lyudmyla, a 50-year-old teacher. "My husband has been at war since February 28," she told AFP. "My son-in-law is at war. Why should some people fight and others not?" she asked. I suppose AFP is Russian Propaganda https://news.yahoo.com/losses-mount-ukrainians-fiercely-debate-161426044.html |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Now this post makes more sense Quoted: It’s total war. If Ukraine loses they go back to Russian enslavement. All power flows through Putin the dictator. A foreigner, Russia is not Ukraine. The same people who purposely starved millions of Ukrainians in the 30’s. Would we fight any less? Give up any easier? Russia apparently doesn’t have it much better. They aren’t emptying prisons, using Chechens, and now press ganging foreigners off Moscow streets for service if they didn’t need to. |

Quoted: Now this post makes more sense View Quote They’ve had Cubans and Africans as well. But then Ukraine has foreign volunteers. In my opinion manpower for wars outside of India and Africa will be major issues for future wars and likely means older males will become more involved in warfare.
