    Good Russians don’t join war in Ukraine and wouldn’t join NATO’s invasion of Russia, either.

    War is war, both sides can be super evil, as history shows

      I don’t think the Russians have much say in whether they end up in Ukraine. The alternative to refusing is probably worse overall.

        True for those on partial mobilization. Not so much for contractors (granted, contract often serves as the only way to raise family from poverty, to which some men go; but still, there is a choice not to)

        Although there are brave souls not going there even though they’re forced to and deserting and surrendering and preferring jail or sometimes risking their lives even more than on war to escape. My heart goes to those heroes.

        Being a UN peacekeeper is based; fighting for NATO isn’t, as shown by history of NATO forces (particularly Murican forces) harrassing half the planet.
