      Literally draining the brains of the future of the country all over Ukrainian soil.

      It’s really sad. Russian scientists, mathematicians, and writers have made so many amazing contributions to humanity over the past few centuries. Now the country is headed for a century of irrelevance and pariah status.

      They really are that stupid. They’ve been burning their seedcorn for 4 years now, not even eating it. Just lighting it on fire because stopping would mean the Americans laugh at them.

          They even do it in Crimea, which is yet another war crime. You’re not allowed to draft from occupied territories.

          Do we now get to watch you somehow ignore all of these sources?

            Do we now get to watch you somehow ignore all of these sources?

            Rude. Also the sources do not contain what is claimed, which is, to remind you, military police systematically abducting people from the streets in unmarked vans and shipping them to training centers in order to keep the war effort going.

            As in, this is how they mainly get recruits. Not arrests at a demonstration or a general draft or isolated incidenses. I’d like you to provide some quotes, with your sources next time because these are a waste of time.

            Thanks for the backup on the sources, unfederated friend.
