    Ukraine lowered the mobilization age from 27 to 25 in April 2024 but resisted the international partners’ calls to further lower it to 18.

    I always thought 18 seemed low, seems to me like an attempt to get them young and naive, and easier to mold.
    21 should be the earliest IMO.

      @Buffalox @Cephalotrocity conscription is immoral. If a cause is right and just you should be able to find volunteers. If you can’t find volunteers perhaps you should rethink your mission.

          @petrescatraian @Buffalox @Cephalotrocity

          Not a single state is fully moral.

          there I fixed it for you.

          Sometimes the most immoral choices are the right thing to do to achieve a just cause.

          this is the most bat shit crazy thing I have ever heard. Two wrongs never make a right mate.

        Your premise is flawed:

        • A cause can be right and just and people still not want to volunteer.
        • Ukraine’s cause is right and just and they do have volunteers, just not as many as would be ideal,
        • Conscription is not immoral if it serves the greater Good, and in this case it absolutely does.

        If your reasoning is that flawed you should rethink your allegiance to cowardice or russia, or both.

          @Cephalotrocity you are incorrect. The market has decided that it is not right nor just or they would have volunteers. Russia also is not right nor just. War is a racket.
