You're finally admitting that the Russian invasion is murder?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about the murder of people who are being gang pressed into fighting by the fascist regime the west installed and people like you support.

Isn't umm fighting against invasion is required by law for most countries?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weird way to justify people being forced to fight into something they clearly don't believe in or have any interest defending.

Let's not forget that most countries also have constitutions. The citizens constitutional rights cannot be overshadowed by draft. Therefore forcible totalitarian draft is not legal. Here it's problematic because sovereign legal institutions are non existent in Ukraine and lets admit that in many states legal institutions would crumble when defending citizens rights against violent governments.

do you admit ukrainian shelling of the breakaway republics was mass murder? or do they not count bc they speak the wrong language?

They were trying to prevent the slaughter of ethnic Russians in the independent republics. Also stop the continual acts of terrorism coming from the CIA controlled SBU (there's a NYT article about this subject FYI)
