          I see the two of you don’t understand how a military works then. You don’t join a military, and then bitch and complain if you are sent to fight, it’s literally what you signed up for. If in this specific situation you are not French, you should also probably just keep your mouth shut

            Because France is part of NATO and the EU, getting to war with Russia doesn’t only means sending professional troops, but most likely total war where even civilians would be drafted

            Look at yourself, you are talking like an human without soul. People are not robots or machines they join the military because perhaps they believe in justice and want to defend their own people from villains. There’s no justice in fighting a war for business, there’s no justice in fighting wars for corrupted politicians at the expenses of innocent people.

            We are all humans and everyone should be allowed and encouraged to talk not to keep his mouth shout.

                Politicians and rulers are bad actors and professional liars who use everything as a leverage to get more wealth and power. Stalin fought the nazi in WWII, was he a good human being? fuck no he was a dictator himself tripping on power.

                Politician who these days call for freedom on one hand while supporting a genocide in the other are scum, it’s not that hard to see.

              Finland, Switzerland, Austria, and Greece. These are the European countries with conscription. On paper, Norway and Sweden have conscription, but in all actuality there’s basically no way you get conscripted involuntarily.

                  They said European, so I assumed they meant anyone in the whole of Europe, other than Ukraine & Russia/Belarus. Although I guess I forgot Latvia and Estonia. I also didn’t say Turkey but they have conscription too.

                    Yeah it was pretty late yesterday and I misread that. That’s why I deleted the comment.

                  In that case your point either doesn’t make sense or was badly explained. Both are entirely your fault.

              and you don’t understand the difference between a career soldier and a conscript. Let me enlighten you:

              As a conscript you will be drafted only in a defense situation, an actual war in your own country. Simply spoken when the Russians are at your doorstep.

              A career soldier can send to missions either an official NATO one or one approved by your country’s commanding officer of your army.

                I’m sure all those drafted/conscripts who went to Vietnam totally felt like they were defending their country from imminent attack!

              These are not the guys they’ll send out in a war. Unlike Russia, Western nations don’t need cannon fodder.

                You are right, I forgot, the west would never do that!

                Thinking the wealthy class won’t send you to war has got to but one of the smoothest brain takes I’ve heard all year.
