My friend that moved to Canada, about 9 years ago, has moved back to Russia about 3 years ago.

I think he is regretting his decision, with the retardation happening there.

Imagine leaving Canada, because you miss home, and a few years later you have a Nazi commander sending his troops to grab you from the streets, or send you to 10 years in prison for protesting....

To be frank, I think all guys that can be drafted in Russia should just go protest on the street.

You protest, 10years in the prison with possibilities of parole when someone else takes power.

You don't protest, you get sent to front line where chances of being killed is way higher than being in prison. And all for what? a pointless war to satisfy someone's ego instead of defending your country's freedom.

Prison or the Ukrainian front. Not exactly good choices.

No wonder so many are fleeing to neighbouring countries.

What if there is WW3 and we get drafted to go fight Russians. Would you guys go ?

Great68 09-27-2022 10:41 AM

Why does this sound so familiar to certain events that occurred in 1969...

An unpopular draft, to fight an unpopular war. Talks of draft dodging...

It will never get that far. NATO was never designed to fight insurgents/terrorists. It was designed to fight countries like Russia. They will just bomb the shit out of Russia until they give up.

My Family worked way to hard for all the stuff we have to let some Russians take it. If I was drafted I would go. But I'm guessing most of us are to old to be drafted.

There are reports that they're handing protesters draft papers. No jail. Off to the front for you.

Latest news is that the conscription boards are going through and drafting eligible citizens that 18km traffic jam of people trying to flee to Georgia.

Lol fuck no. I’m willing to give a lot for people I don’t know to have a better life, but not my own life. I’ll disappear into the mountains with like minded people for as long as I possibly can before they find me, or blow up the planet and solve all my problems.

Badhobz 09-27-2022 02:13 PM

I know it won’t get that far but hypothetically if it ever did. I’m running for the hills. I ain’t gonna go fight a war until somebody invades this place.

68style 09-27-2022 02:38 PM

I dunno what I would really do if it came down to brass tacks with it... I'd definitely defend here if I had to... but when this whole thing started I actually very seriously considered/plotted out/contacted people in Ukraine that I know about going over there voluntarily.

But then maybe I've always felt like I lacked feeling like I was a part of something? Not sure... but I did feel extremely compelled even at that stage.

quasi 09-27-2022 02:45 PM

I'm over 45, no worries about getting drafted.

68style 09-27-2022 02:47 PM

Is that the can't fight age? Shit... almost there!

Badhobz 09-27-2022 03:01 PM

i recall the vietnam draft in the states was 18-26 right? i guess most of us are aged out so we good to keep the economy running while these young whipper snappers go off to fight.

underscore 09-27-2022 03:47 PM

There's lots of variables involved in making that call, especially for those with dependents like kids. But I think things would have to get pretty bad before they'd want to send someone like me out there anyways.

too bad most of the guys in that age group these days are intagram and tiktok useless dipshits.

we'd be fucked if that's who we're relying on.

whitev70r 09-27-2022 04:06 PM

^ but they've played a lot of video games ... put them behind a monitor and let them fire missiles from drones & they'll be OK.

Badhobz 09-27-2022 08:28 PM

they’ll just end up spawn camping the Russians and crouching to do digital tea bagging.

Useless dipshits is right.

SkinnyPupp 09-27-2022 08:37 PM

Kids these days, am I right?

Badhobz 09-27-2022 09:27 PM

I sound so fucking old saying that. I’m sure when I was that age, everyone 30-50 said the same thing about us elder millennials.

hud 91gt 09-28-2022 04:52 AM

They are gonna be really confused when they aren’t getting over time, a CERB cheque, or better yet, breaks. Lol

murd0c 09-28-2022 08:04 AM

As bad as it sounds the kids these days could use a draft to finally find out what life is and to hopefully grow up.

Unless they move the line they've used in the past year, probably only advantage to be closer to death than birth.

So they can go through the same hardships as you?

westopher 09-28-2022 03:40 PM

We need a generation of alcoholic wifebeaters with PTSD like what Nam did. There’s a fuckin good idea.

underscore 09-28-2022 03:41 PM

Well if the goal is growing up they'd have to be different ones.
