Ukraine's military needs younger men not only because they are physically fitter than older men but also because they can master technology used on the battlefield faster, President Volodymyr Zelensky told French YouTuber Hugo Travers in an interview published on April 21.

He could scoop random people off the street to die for a doomed war and you mfers would still support him.
- He lowered the minimum age from 27 to 25. What a monster.
  It's not like his country is at war or at risk of being invaded by one of the world's biggest military power or anything, right?
  
  How long will it take before the age ratchets down again? And then further? And then further? I give it another two years-- if those nazis can even last that long-- before Zelensky's pushing teenagers into the meat grinder. And he won't think twice. The people controlling him would do for him the same way if he did.
  
  Careful, might slip down that slope.
  
  Giving fascists any kind of leeway in the first place is exactly how you get genocides. The kinds of things you people just can't get enough of til you get the receipt for it.
  
  Ah yes, the perfectly straightline route from lowering conscription age (to an unreasonable 25 years !!!1!1!111) to genocide. No slopes involved.
  
  Okay, you're being deliberately dense considering Ukraine's already committed two verifiable genocides(Donetsk, Luhansk)-- which makes you a denier at best and a collaborator at worst; so get out my inbox thanks
  
  The genocidal act of checks notes defending your country against a foreign invader.
  If only we had an international institution to deal with such claims 🧐.
  
  An "international institution" helmed by crackers who inherited all their ideas and in some cases their actual chairs from nazis, you mean? That FIVE-EYES vassalized gaggle of misleading colonoids who kicked off this whole conflict tryna encircle and "cleanse" (to use you people's parlance) people who haven't been Soviet for near half a goddamn century? Cac-assed trick, fuckin' next.
  
  Oh yes, compelling analysis of the court case, hope you publish soon.
  
  I wish all draft supporters a very die in a war they don't agree with
- Why doesn't everyone just give up, like you do?
  Are they stupid?!
  
  Why give up when you can send other people to die for you right? Not like your ass is on the line, it's just other people dying while you shitpost here.
  
  go sign up for the foreign legion scumbag
