Is this plan the ‘let’s let Russia have all the things it’s stolen’ plan?
I didn’t know if debit cards do, but I think credit cards do, which is why they can offer rewards.
And we could ridicule them pretty bad for getting a jet shot down by wandering into the wrong neighborhood.
I hope a Russian jet comes too close so they can shoot it down.
Do upper management use BBJs? Or do they use smaller planes like embraers?
I’d sure hope so, but I don’t know if they actually care about the long term effects.
To be clear, you’re against Russia using conscription as well, right?
Why is invading into Russia not okay?
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?
Sorry, I don’t mean to say that it killed more people in every case. I agree there are could be cases where the outcome was certain, and maintaining strength for gorilla resistance and saving population centers was likely prudent.
I was primarily referring to appeasement, where countries in Europe, mostly England, gave the Nazis land to avoid war.
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?
So would a one week domestic only draft be acceptable?
So than what makes conscription too far? Would non military mandatory government service be permissible? How long would that duration need to be in order to be unacceptable?
So if a country wrote conscription into their constitution it’d be fine?
They dictate what you do and don’t do. Taxes take a portion of your time as well since you need to work longer. I didn’t see how it’s categorically different. Just a difference of extent.
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.
They force jury duty, taxes, traffic laws, and sometimes public service or jail time. Those are all forced labor.
Are you trying to say Ukraine is wrong to go into Russia?
I guess they’re relaxing the policy, since they’ve hinted previously that they viewed attacks on Russian territory to be a threat to the existence of Russia and would use nukes in response. But they didn’t.
