And I, once again, have explained why this doesn't matter because the draft has nothing to do with democratic input. You refuse to address this.
Your*
And no it isn't.
Do you know what MARTIAL LAW means? What the hell are you even talking about? Take a step back - you are arguing that Ukrainian draft officers are having to beat and kidnap men to send to the front line because Ukraine is more accountable to its people. I am arguing that it is necause they have a manpower shortage. You are ridiculous.
If I take 13 ducks, 4 chickens, 8 fainting goats and a mongoose, and march them in a phalanx designed for geese you wind up 13 knots shy of where you were headed. The ducks vary in color, I'm not quite sure we even have mallards, 2 of the hens keep laying eggs and trying to roost, and the mongoose keeps setting off the bloody goats so they lay ass to the ground toes to the sky until they look like a botched taxidermy. So end over end we are all quacks laying and lying in the mud with a mongoose. Ain't getting far
These are more strawman tactics.
I'm not arguing this point.
I have never denied that Ukraine has a manpower shortage.
And then you call me ridiculous when I didn't make the first point and don't disagree with the second point. This is textbook strawmanning.
I don't think you're arguing in good faith using these tactics.
