Most people dont have the option to leave their country. In fact, it is infinitely harder to leave your country under an authoritarian government for precisely this reason. And one of the main reasons some people managed to leave Russia is simply because Russia wasnt as authoritarian as it could be.

This is particularly true if you’re poor. “Why do they always send the poor?” Because they either can’t leave or fighting is the best financial opportunity. The latter is true in the US as well.
