    I don’t get it? Why does the Ukrainian man entering a Shawarma store save him from forced conscription? I’m not familiar with the term Shawarma nor with the system of forced conscription in wherever that is.

      Russia will stop when you go to Ukraine to fight them. Sign up for the volunteer foreign legion now.

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

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

          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?

        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. Ukrainians would rather lose the war than lose their lives. Ukraine is already losing the war anyways. All that happens by joining their military is entering the meatgrinder to prolong the war a little bit.

          You talk tough from behind your keyboard because it is not you getting sent to the front-lines. Once again, Ukraine welcomes volunteers for their army. Feel free to apply.

            I mean setting aside debate about conscription… But are you seriously questioning why government leaders aren’t fighting on the front lines?

              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.

    How did the shawarma guy know? Did the other guy not notice? How did they not chase further? How did the shawarma guy not get arrested? I have so many questions

      I don’t know because I can’t parce what’s happening in the video very well. But in the background Russia has been forcing conscription of they own people since it started. Dudes ran, had to he arrested. Since this little project is happening so far away from Moscow, Russia’s been relying on secondary kinds of manpower like one time mercenaries or now conscription of Ukrainians when they can.

      You probably just get used to seeing them try it. Word gets around. You start noticing when lone dudes get mobbed because that’s who they’re looking for

        Wait, let me get this straight. You think the conscription officers in this video are Russians?
