    Does implementing a draft to defend the nation somehow make it Zelenskyy’s fault that Russia invaded?

      Yup. The real disinfo campaign is these people repeating the same Kremlin non-sense drivel.

      “Ukraine is corrupt. Ukraine is conscripting people. Ukraine just suspended the presidential election.”

      First, any corruption accusation can be leveled to absolutely any other country you can think of. So what? Is that an excuse to invade another country? And what do they expect from a country invaded unprovoked and at war? Not to mobilise? Suspension of elections while at war is nothing new. Except for the US, Allied nations in World War 2 didn’t hold elections until full victory was achieved because elections during an active conflict will disrupt policy-making. What Ukraine had done suspending elections is normal for any country engaged in a total war.

      Syria didn’t draft anyone, and they’re doing just fine under new management.

        Just to clarify. I just want to make sure you’re not actually suggesting that Ukraine be under “new management”.

          Ehh I don’t see anything bad about it. USA has so many vassals, it would be simply stupid to deny anyone else do the same. Rules for me, but not for thee is hypocritical.
