Comment on The future of warfare is now
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThere are no “two countries butchering”.
How many more hundreds of thousands of people have to die before the language sticks?
There is a bandit state which invaded their neighbour
It’s two populations of conscripts being shoved together in a rain of artillery and a morass of land mines.

Zelenskyy is “forcing” Ukraine to defend itself
Conscription Is Breaking Ukraine
In Ukraine today, no topic is more barbed than that of compulsory military service. Few want to talk about conscription publicly; men within service age range, 25 to 60 years old, are particularly reticent. “It’s just too sensitive. I hope you understand me,” one man told me, referring to the many families in his circle of friends whose sons, brothers, and fathers are on the front or have perished there. Some fear that speaking out might prompt a letter from the Defense Ministry announcing their call-up. Or worse, they might be plucked randomly by recruitment officers on the streets and, should their documentation prove their eligibility for service, sent straight to boot camp.

It’s all they know. You either agree or you’re a computer trying to trick them.
But that’s just westerners since the turn of the century. They’ve abolished public education, outlawed free speech, and turned their whole world into pop up ads.
They’re sick and drowning. And all they know is blaming foreigners for their home grown problems.
