Late on Sunday night, Ilya, a 38-year-old Muscovite, hobbled to his front door on crutches to find two officials handing him a draft notice.

Ilya pointed to the cast on the leg he broke falling down the stairs a few weeks earlier, refused to sign the papers, cursed at the officials and slammed the door.

“I told them, ‘why don’t you go where the Russian warship went,” Ilya said, referring to a cruiser that a Ukrainian serviceman told to “fuck off” at the start of Russia’s invasion and that Ukraine later sank.

“What have Ukrainians done to me? I have a tonne of friends there. What am I going to do, go and shoot at their relatives? Are they serious?”

...

“They only know how to implement their ideas with violence. And violence, war and mobilisation weren’t part of the social contract,” said Andrei Kolesnikov

Something is going on here and I wouldn’t doubt that Russia is involved in the globalist plan for world War. The powers that be can see that their plans are not sitting well with the majority of people worldwide. A nuclear war would enable them to take TOTAL control. The scamdemic was the precursor to this.

Dear Draft Dodger:

You now have zero rubles in your federation retirement account.

You have 30 days to report for duty and restore your balance.

A high percentage of Russians have friends and family in Ukraine. They have no desire to kill them or be killed by them.

You don’t need health insurance when your lying wounded in a muddy field in Ukraine and your own Russian commander shoots you to finish you off.

Saw an article about Russia now deploying mobile conscription offices!

To be deployed at the border.

Probably just a cattle car trailer with floor mounts for manacles. Plus a phone app to record their National ID number.

Certainly won’t be like those tens of thousands that ran and hide from the draft during the Vietnam in the US, huh?

Well, in the sense that Vietnam was a war also instigated (indirectly) by russia, yes there are similarities...

I’ve been saying for a while they need war before mid terms so they can arrest “enemies” and have legal censorship and universal mail in voting.

The draftees are quite likely to be used to replace properly trained troops now in service far from Ukraine, so the properly trained troops can fight in Ukraine.

Ukraine makes maggot food from untrained Russian troops.

I like the US/NATO “advisors” in Ukraine?

Funny that this is your response when posting an article to place bad light on Russia and then get slammed back with an example of how the vaunted US had tens of thousands run, hide, and bail ass to places like Canada, etc. Ironic huh?
