Well I guess. That’s kinda the reality if you have no military alliances and the point of a national army?

Or should only Ukrainian men be forced to risk their lives?

No you are very welcome to join the Ukrainian army. Instead of the man being kidnapped against his will you can take his place.

Bet I am, and I applaud that you have joined the Foreign legion. I however have no interest in such a thing.
That’s the reality. If you get attacked it’s your own citizens who make up the army and possibly some mercenaries. This is not a new or difficult concept

“An army is comprised of citizens”
“The army ought to kidnap people off the street and send them into the grinder against their will”
Are two very different concepts. You dont think those are really the same, do you?

You’re right, they should hire North Korean to fight for them, like Russia did. Maybe work on the coal mine while they’re at it.

Lol, what type of fucking logic is that… Ukraine is being invaded by russia. It’s citizens are needed to defend itself, when countries are invaded. The citizens step up to defend their home. Foreign citizens are providing weapons and money to help as much as possible (more should be done).
You sound like a russian shill…

Why would their citizens need to fight if they do not want to? Zelensky is touring the world in his soldier costume but he is not fighting on the front lines.
You want to talk tough from behind your keyboard because it is not you getting sent to the front-lines.

Calls other people shills while advocating to throw Ukrainian men into the meat grinder.

I mean setting aside debate about conscription… But are you seriously questioning why government leaders aren’t fighting on the front lines?
Boldly stated from behind a keyboard.

I boldly state that I would not risk my life for Ukraine.
You boldly state that people should risk their life for Ukraine.
So go risk your own life.
