Well some want to leave, but the government isn't allowing them to.
Why is it evil for the u.s. to send people back to a war zone but not for ukraine to keep people in a war zone?
And before you go for the whataboutism I know russia is doing it too and that's fucked up. Fuck russia for starting this war but that doesn't resolve the contradiction of supporting refugee rights and mandatory conscription.
Why do Ukranian people want to leave their country?
That's unquestionably what's causing every problem you take issue with, so why aren't you also taking issue with that cause?
Ukrainian conscription exists because Russia invaded them.
You blame Ukraine.
The US is sending refugees they previously welcomed back into a war zone because our government is now aligned with Russias.
You blame Ukraine.
Without Russia, none of your problems with Ukraine would exist. And more importantly, all the problems you have with Ukraine are already far far worse in Russia.
It's pretty clear you're either arguing in bad faith because you drank too much propaganda, or you're working for the FSB.
Eitherway, your arguments are making Russia happy. Which means history is going to make you look like the idiot you're acting like in supporting them.
Did you read my reply?
How am I blaming ukraine?
I'm pointing out a contradiction in your support for refugee rights and mandatory conscription. Instead of addressing that contradiction you seem to want to focus on russia and pretend I'm an fsb plant.
I'm not defending russia here, putin is horrible and without him none of this would happen. Now that we agree on that explain to me how your in favor of mandatory conscription and refugee rights.
The khmer rouge wouldnt have happened without u.s. meddling and bombing in Cambodia, that doesnt mean we cant criticize the horrible things they did in retaliation. Just because there's a greater cause of something doesn't mean we can't debate the decisions made by those effected.
If zelensky comes out tomorrow and says this is a great move by trump because ukraine needs the manpower are you going to change your position?
