No they're also conscripted, but we're discussing Ukraine which is checks notes a different country, specifically a country which is losing people at an alarming rate.

    So if a bigger country conscripts their people to invade you you should checks notes take the moral high road, get overrun and surrender as soon as possible

    If a country is throwing thousands of people to their death against their own will in a futile attempt to win a lost war, then I think it's better those people get to go home and live, rather than die, since the end result is the same.

    Had the situation been reversed then I would have called for Russia to accept a peace deal as well.

    People dying for no reason is bad actually.

    No reason?

    Do you have any idea how many people Russia sacrificed to repel the Germans? Do you think the world would be better had they just followed your advice?

    You are aware this analogy only works if you believe Ukraine is full of nazis, right?
