Lol. Where was this post when Russia drafted citizens to continue the invasion?
The Ukrainian "invasion" is to force Russia to withdraw from the war Russia started.

You hold up your draft card and burn it.
Just to throw my two cents in: This user isn’t a genuinely curious ponderer, rather they are a Russian troll trying to fish for arguments they could further use in bad faith to lick Putin’s boot.
Just read through their comment history and make your own mind. This is not genuine and most everyone is just feeding the troll.
The question itself is worth asking though. A lot of good points here, but they’d be better given in good faith for someone genuine.
Observe above me, a liberal unable to compherhend any dissenting opinion to his liberal orthodoxy engaging in 'othering'.

You put the someone in a re-education camp
Ask them to do so themselves, voluntarily.
If they refuse, the argument stands.
If they accept, you won't convince this person.
On a related note, if the US continues on its current trajectory, I predict the draft to return within the next eight years. The Selective Service System never went away. Look what congress is up to right now: Lawmakers move to automate Selective Service registration for all men
Wait, selective service wasn't automated? When I turned 18 my card just showed up in the mail. I didn't have to do anything to get it.
The automation is because it’s always been a felony not to register, same as it is in virtually every country with mandatory service, so to avoid the horrifically needless societal effects that come from giving someone a felony for a random crime, they simply automated it.
Basically what they did with social security years ago. Used to also be a crime to not sign up by a certain age, so they just started immediately registering all children at birth.
