This week you guys thought they were lying when they reiterated words from Zelensky

Yeah, I think reconfiguring the bots with a new narrative is long overdue tbh…

It’s one thing to question how objective are Russian sources when talking about ukraine, but those bots post the same “this is Russian propaganda” / “this is unreliable source” narrative even under articles from western medias, and it even gets posted under articles from ukrainian sources, where the next recommended article is usually something like “illegally, unprovokedly and full-scale invading orcs just massacred triillions of innocent ukrainian women and children” which is just peak comedy :/

At least add filtering on domains before commenting or something, it’s not that hard XD

That guy, whoever he is, must be a Russian agent spreading their misinformation!

And now let me spread a little bit of my favourite Russian misinformation.

This is how Ukrainian people react to “enemy” hitting the building of (and possibly killing several of) the brave TCC/TCR heroes helping people to enlist against the invading orcs who want to massacre us all.

Why ceasefire? Doesn’t he know that Ukraine is winning?

Well, what else can one do when even ukrainian sources begin to admit that maybe, just maybe, “Crimean beach party” won’t happen after all? :)

I know, right? Those damn Ukrainian news websites spreading Russian propaganda about how bad things are in Ukraine.

I am ashamed of posting this, it’s so obvious that it’s just Russian lies, entirely unconvincing, amirite?

I have heard that Ukraine is a crazy fascist state. This seems to support that.

Of course no, what the hell are you talking about?

Ukraine is last bastion of democracy against the invading orcs who want to destroy the whole world!

We are all happy to be treated as Zelensky’s hostages and slaves, not being able to leave the country and each day having a chance of being violently kidnapped off the streets and then sent to die on the frontlines or get tortured by our officers are only minor inconveniences.

Thank you Mr. Zelensky for ensuring Ukraine stays free and independent country!

Shooting and droning people protesting against your rule and kidnappings lawful mobilization efforts is totally justified and democratic, because Ukraine is fighting for its survival and everybody who disagrees is an enemy of the free world and definitely deserves to be shot and droned!

1. had wartime conscription, and 2) executed deserters

Neither of that is what I asked you for (come on, you even quoted my reply in you reply - “massive campaign of kidnappings happening to people forbidden from leaving the country”, and then you proceeded to give an example of a completely different thing (also awful, but completely different)).

Or do you know better how conscription worked in the WWs off the top of your head?

I don’t. But surely you do, as you’re trying to portray what happens in Ukraine as normal, so I am asking you to tell me about it.

Okay, then surely you can show me a shittone of examples of such a massive campaign of kidnappings happening to people forbidden from leaving the country because they are needed as cannon fodder that happened in modern history (let’s say last two centuries)?

Both are effectively the same thing, a citizen pressed into service, against their will.

So “you cannot leave the country and will be kidnapped and forced to die a horrible death on the front lines” is the same as “you can freely leave the country but if you don’t you will have to do forced labour in military uniform for a year”.

Got it.

I can see I’m not going to succeed in changing your mind.

You are trying to tell me that it’s good (or at least justifiable/normal) that Zelensky wants to murder me, my friends my family and several million other people who happened to be born in Ukraine. Obviously you are not going to change my mind :/

Maybe look some stuff up. Especially when it comes to conditions in russia

What stuff are you suggesting me to loop up? While I personally never visited Russia, I have close friends from Russia, several others who visited it, so I know from “first-hand” sources what’s it like there… (More or less the same shithole as Ukraine, but without kidnapping and with ability to leave)

That’s literally what conscription means in legal terms

No. Conscription is you get summons and have to do military service (which is also totally wrong but a different thing). If you refuse you get sent to jail. You can simply leave the country if you don’t like that.

What happens in Ukraine is kidnapping random people off the streets (who are forbidden from leaving the country), putting them into vans and sensing them to die.

Conscription is done in preparation for “mass kidnappings of cannon fodder”, as you put it.

No?..

Russia has conscription but not kidnapping part and forbidding to leave the country part. So do many other countries.

Cuba

1. I said “countries that are considered “good” and “democratic”” by the west. Does Cuba fit that definition now?
2. “Conscription” - that’s not what am I talking about though. Conscription (which is also absolutely wrong of course) is indeed present in a lot of countries. Mass kidnappings of cannon fodder that is not allowed to leave is quite unique to Zelensky’s regime.

Russia has mandatory military conscription. If they want to send you to war, they can, and will, paid or unpaid. Is this news to you? The laws are in place, but Putin is avoiding them for fear of national backlash.

Why this would be news to me, and how is this relevant to out conversation? In Ukraine people are forbidden to leave the country so that they can be kidnapped off the streets and used as cannon fodder. In Russia neither is happening.

and russias economy is eating itself alive to be able to keep paying fighters more and more

Yeah western medias are talking for three years now about an imminent economic collapse of Russia and every time it doesn’t happen, but instead it becomes a fourth largest economy in the world…

It’s a vicious cycle that’s going to culminate in involuntary conscription being the only option left to keep invading

See, you are speaking speculation again (which might or might not happen, I don’t know, I can’t see the future). While I am telling you facts (about closed borders, kidnappings, etc. that do happen in Ukraine but not in Russia).

and I am absolutely certain, will, send people to die against their will.

Speculation again.

And it is “happening again” right now. Last time, it was Georgia.

What exactly happened in Georgia? Russia helped South Ossetia become independent of Georgia, and did not conquer Georgia (which is apparently the goal of an evil Putin who dreams about conquring the world, accorsing to western media) despite its army being a striking distance away from the capital?

What I do not understand, is your preference for a leader guilty of the very same crime, but for the difference that he sends people to die, in offense.

Do you see a difference between people being kidnapped off the streets and sent to die (Ukraine) and people being paid to join the army (Russia) (basically just a high risk job)?
I don’t know why are you even comparing those two scenarios…

If Ukraine surrenders, this will all happen again the next time Putin would like some more territory.

This is a speculation.

And then, you and the people you care about, would be subject to the very same danger that current citizens of russia are. If not even moreso.

Why would Putin sacrifice from his pools of supporters, when he can conscript from newly conquered territory?

What is this danger? Tell me more about it. Is it the danger of being able to leave the country at any moment? Is it the danger of not being kidnapped off the street and instead being offered a voluntary contract to join army?

That is a discussion with no resolution. Like I said, I don’t know where the point is, when sacrifice become worse than surrender.

So maybe the people that are actually affected should be able decide that (as opposed to a single dictator with western support)? Currently, thanks to western support of Zelensky, the only way people can “decide” anything is by doing a violent revolution against the regime, which would not have a good chance of success due to weapon supplies to Zelensky’s regime. Or by individually resisting/killing “draft “officers”” and bombing ““recruitment centers””… Which people already do but on a small scale so it doesn’t change the big picture…

You seem to consider the matter from a purely personal perspective

What do you mean exactly here? I left Ukraine before the war started, so from “personal perspective” I am actually safe (unless Zelensky manages to convince other countries to send back his cannon fodder…). I am considering this from the perspective of people (among whom my family and friends) who still live under Zelensky’s regime. Who are nothing more than slaves, cannon fodder for Zelensky and his supporters.

And you obviously view Russia a lot more favorably than I do.

FWIW I don’t consider Russia a good/bad country. I only speak of it in comparison to Ukraine, where it is objectively better and more free.

“Meatgrinder” effectively illustrates the pointlessness of war, but you are using it as if to dismiss the fact that sustaining that same “meatgrinder” is the only reason the country of Ukraine still exists.

It absolutely would, and would be extremely better off than it is now, what are you talking about?
The reason behind a need for kidnappings is that (well, among other reasons, but that’s the biggest one of course) Zelensky wanted to join NATO. NATO recently said that Ukraine will not join. So the war was pointless to such a ridiculous degree that I don’t have words to express it. It led to loss of people, territories, infrastructure and everything else and gained absolutely nothing (except billions stolen by the regime and huge debt of course). It was, and still is, all Zelensky’s choice.

Anyway, nothing justifies what Zelensky does. Russia is literally liberating the people under Zelensky’s regime. If I stayed in Ukraine (on Zelensky controlled territory) I would be his slave and maybe already dead. If I was on territory liberated by Russia on the other hand - I would be no less free than I was before/am now. What you are describing as “being ‘conquered’ by Russia” is absolutely a preferential scenario to living under Zelensky’s regime (supported by “free and democratic” “world”) that is going to kill you.

There are other similarly developed countries under siege with which we can compare?

So there are no similar cases and we can at least agree that atrocities being commited by Zelensky’s regime are unprecedented in modern times. Well that’s something already.

And one that probably IS using such tactics

Oh come on, be serious please. The west supports Ukraine almost as much as it hates Russia. And yet even western medias are writing about kidnapping in Ukraine and not in Russia. If it was happening in Russia - medias would not be able to stop writing about it.

or that your understanding of the situation is superficial at best

Yeah it is indeed hard for me to understand how people support me and everybody I know getting kidnapped, beaten and killed, despite us never doing anything bad to you (except of course not dying protecting your geopolitical interest).
