An observant person could logically ask, if the Ukrainians had a strong army and plenty of equipment at the beginning of this conflict, the massive continuing support of NATO countries and are reportedly winning, why is it necessary to forcefully conscript every healthy male off the streets? ANSWER: Ukraine is not winning.

Good for them.

I met a Ukrainian couple with kids in the grocery shop, they just arrived in my city, seemed confused about something so I helped and got chatting.

He was very sheepish, his wife did most of the talking. When we parted I shook his hand and told him his family are more important than a corrupt country and a senseless war, he started to well up and said thank you as they left.

I really feel for these innocent people, they are being used as pawns in this massive decades long plan of theft and resettlement.

He has nothing to be ashamed about. This war is 109% corrupt.

I have many polish, Lithuanian and other east European friends. All hardworking and traditional family oriented.
