Are Russians Fleeing to Avoid Being Drafted?

in #politics2 years ago


Multiple reports have suggested that Russians are fleeing the country to avoid being drafted into the mess of a conflict with Ukraine. We have also heard about protests taking place from thousands who have signaled their disagreement with the war, along with many others around the world too.

Driving, taking a train, flying, there are many men who want to get out because they do not want to fight this fight, this is not their fight.

It is great to see people standing up for their liberty and making a choice for themselves, rather than being forced into conflict. They can arguably offer a lot more to their families and communities if they are safe rather than in danger.

Some reports suggest that Russians have been paying tens of thousands of dollars to flee on private jets.

Not everyone has the means necessary or the opportunity to leave and it is a terrible situation to see any state tear families apart in multiple ways and violate the basic liberty of any individual by forcing them to fight in a conflict they don't want to be a part of.

Money, money, money

While people in this region struggle and suffer to find a peaceful and comfortable standard of living their overseers are happy to spend hundreds of millions each day on war.

WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS?

Often those who pay in multiple ways for the conflict, with their lives and money, are those who want and had nothing to do with starting and perpetuating this conflict.

How much could $90 million achieve for the many living in Russia who are experiencing poverty and food insecurity? How improved could infrastructure be for communities, or technological advancements pursued if hundreds of millions were spent on that instead of being wasted on war.

We can always rely on those who are running up the bill to cry over and over again how justified they are to continue with the violence and the violation of liberty.

There are lots of problems with this narrative.

What i hear from Russians is that the country is VERY much behind Putin, especially after the shenanigans Zelenski pulled.

U-crane ordered every man to enlist, and basically shoved them to the front line without training.
These men weren't allowed to leave the country. Most fled to the countryside.

Now, they are saying Russian men are fleeing... But where would they go?
Everywhere is embargoed against them.

Further, Russia has been slowly taking over the Donbas without much casualties.
Always moving forward, inch by inch.... but you hear on the MSM that U-crane is launching devestating surprise attacks. But the only surprise attacks is The US cruise missiles, in U-crane, fired by The US Intelligence agents.

So, until i find out otherwise, i am going to put this story in the needs lots of evidence pile.
