View submission: War in Ukraine Megathread
You're not wrong, but I try to look at things from the other perspective. Some kid is having his world turned around. His government just told him to go die, of course he's gonna have some negative feelings. Of course, we all believe that the cause is right.. and I hope that kid will believe the same in time. Regardless at the end of the day, that kid is out there fighting whether he wanted to or not and that fact alone has my respect.

No. They didn't. He posted this a month ago, he isn't being conscripted for another two years, and he kept stating that he had no country/was just born in Ukraine. etc. I wouldn't go so far as to say "F-- that kid," but he strikes me as exactly the kind of Ukrainian that Russian leadership convinced themselves was the norm. When it turned out that Ukraine was filled with hardasses who loved having their own country almost as much as they loved killing Russians, well ... you can turn on the news and see for yourself.
