    Lots of countries have conscription, America too just incase that’s where you’re from and you’re throwing shade.

    The purpose of this post is to highlight that Russia is sending prisoners of war to fight against their home country.

      I certainly intended to throw shade on mandatory conscription, not the main topic but quite pertinent.

      Of course I’m not trying to say it’s the same thing (not at all), just that a “you were born here, so go die” is on the same page.

        I absolutely agree with conscription being wrong, same as mandatory service.

        That’s not the debate like it’s completely different, one is a breach of the Geneva convention.

        Conscription is based, especially mandatory conscription
