How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing?

You're viewing a single thread.
Just to throw my two cents in: This user isn’t a genuinely curious ponderer, rather they are a Russian troll trying to fish for arguments they could further use in bad faith to lick Putin’s boot.
Just read through their comment history and make your own mind. This is not genuine and most everyone is just feeding the troll.
The question itself is worth asking though. A lot of good points here, but they’d be better given in good faith for someone genuine.
"All my takes are so perfect no one but a troll could disagree with me"
They need to drag it down to personal attacks and othering because all liberals can do is justify why x and y group deserve genocide and solitary confinement for life.
The distinction between liberals is which groups there form of orthodoxy allows the military and the prisons to be directed at, they can agree on a few things though, mainly the ongoing enslavement of black americans and the genocide of palestine.
Observe above me, a liberal unable to compherhend any dissenting opinion to his liberal orthodoxy engaging in 'othering'.
Irrelevant. If we're learning, good for us.
Sure. But it might be useful for someone to know this before dedicating time responding genuinely. If it’s still irrelevant, great. If it might change someone’s mind about spending their time, then also great.
Only giving context here. Might be relevant to some.
It was obvious. All good.

You sound like a victim of propaganda. Arguments to convince people that a forced draft is bad does not benefit the russian government or any other. I encourage you to read other people posts better and to think with your own brain.
My reading comprehension is just fine, your lack of capability to understand context and tendency to deal in absolutes and binaries in a world made of wide spectrums, shades of gray and unpredictability, on the other hand, does not seem to pass the smell test.
Either you argue in bad faith, are intentionally a shifting contrarian or just not competent enough to either understand the world or at the very least discuss it with others in a way that makes sense.

Marxism is literally a strain of social sciences lmao, you think our arguements dont achknolwege specturms? We literally invented intersectionality!
Do you approve of Russias invasion of Ukraine?
Do you approve of the Ukranian invasion of Ukraine?
Instance checks out.
Il take that as a yes.
No, I just have no idea what you are talking about. But it's probably some weird ass tankie shit.
Its very apparent
Yeah, it usually goes that way when you say incorrect things.
No and i do not approve any other country invasion of another. What about you?
Are you trying to say Ukraine is wrong to go into Russia?
"Are you trying to say U̶k̶r̶a̶i̶n̶e̶ the government of ukraine who is drafting against their will disabled men with heart disease, spinal injuries, epilepsy, autism, and other illnesses and disorders is wrong in ordering its soldier to invade Russia?"
This doesn't sound good to me, nodoby should do this or have the power to do it.

Going into Russia has been a huge tactical success for them, we will see if it's a strategic success, but chances are looking good. Drafting people against their will is kinda the definition of a draft. I haven't looked into the exceptions or lack thereof specifically though.
Do you have a problem with Ukraine invading Russia at all after Russia is trying to annihilate them as a country? Do you have a problem with their conscription policies? Or a problem with using conscripts in the attack into Russia? Or a combination of those three?
I don't think being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is a good thing regardless of who you are.
To be clear, you're against Russia using conscription as well, right?
Is only the combination of drafting and going into another country that is unacceptable? Is Ukraine even using conscripts on that front?
The goal of the invasion into Russia (in my estimation) is to take territory to trade back to Russia in exchange for parts of Ukraine that Russia has captured. Do you think that's not okay? Why?

Forced draft alone is bad, ordering soldiers to invade another country it's even worst.
Is Ukraine even using conscripts on that front?
Good question, are they? I think more people should be concerned about it especially these who are supporting their own government in sending weapons to the government of ukraine.

This isn't a video game, what we are talking about is potentially forced conscript being ordered to invade russia and dying there a miserable way so that governments can trade pieces of land.
Why is invading into Russia not okay?
Russia's invasion is totally unjustified.
I think starting a war is very rarely justified. The evil prevented by attacking would need to be much larger than the inherent evil of the war. That's pretty close to Justinian just war theory, but I'd weight present known evils much more highly than theoretically reduced future evils to account for uncertainty. For example, I think an allied invasion into Nazi Europe was justified.
"Ukraine is wrong and they shouldn't actually have any military at all btw, also I'm not a Russian troll"
— You
It's like watching a middle-schooler pick a fight, lose, then go crying to an adult that he's being bullied. You're pathetic.
I'm Finnish and have done my conscription and it was one of the best years of my life. I wouldn't want to go into war, but I would definitely go and fight Russia if they had invaded Finland.
Like Ukraine has done, defending their country from the Russian "#+special military operation."
Go cry into your limited access to the global community, Ruski. Slava Ukraini.
“Ukraine is wrong and they shouldn’t actually have any military at all btw, also I’m not a Russian troll”
never said such thing, that's actually you saying it
never said such thing
No, it's what is implied. Perhaps you don't know the word?
So you think Ukraine is wrong to defend itself from Russian military aggression. You've admitted that.
The only people who think Russia is in the right about this are propaganda trolls and brainwashed Russian iidjits.
