minus-squareSquizzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 year agoLots of countries have conscription, America too just incase that’s where you’re from and you’re throwing shade. The purpose of this post is to highlight that Russia is sending prisoners of war to fight against their home country.

Of course I’m not trying to say it’s the same thing (not at all), just that a “you were born here, so go die” is on the same page.
