Putin’s check must’ve finnally went through.

Indeed it is. Just like hows the 195 countries is an example of a system that does not rely on central authority…

Lemmy isnt being invaded and its users arent being murdered and their homes razed. Is absolutely ridiculous to even compare the two things.

Also, attacking another nation despite hosting your enemy is an act of war… do you really think it is wise to provoke other nations while already struggling?

People need leadership, or they will fall apart into weak groups. People voted in their leadership. And when shit got tough, the leadership has taken action to keep their people safe within the most reasonable action. If the people truely feel opressed, whats stopping then from overthrowing the government and be annexed by their agressor? Its simple, individually, people are scared creatures who will flee rather than fight. But togather, apes are strong. And the people know it, but you cant take out the basic instincts out of people.

Also, you say “why should i go lone wolf and strike them own your own terms” do you really think thats gonna work? If so, why dont you go do it yourself? Whats stopping you? Its not that simple is it?

Human rights shouldn’t be abolish under any circumstance, there’s no scenario under which slavery is tolerated. A government should never draft people by force and neither should arrest them if they want to leave the country.

Your intentions are good… but very naive. Majority of people do not want to go to the front lines and die or watch their friends die. So most are going to flee if they have the opportunity, and thus the country will fall right into the hands of an agessor who cares nothing about these ‘human rights’. It is indeed unfortunate the circumstances has forced the Ukrainian government to rely on conscription to maintain its sovereignity. What exactly would you do about such a predicament?
