Poland has suggested it will help transfer Ukrainian men of fighting age back to their homeland, as Kyiv seeks to shore up its depleted armed forces.
Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the defence minister of Poland, said he was ready to take whatever steps necessary to move tens of thousands of men of military fighting age back to Ukraine.
“We have suggested for a long time that we can help the Ukrainian side ensure that people subject to compulsory military service go to Ukraine,” he told Polsat, a Polish TV network.
Asked if this would involve a request from Ukraine to transport men of fighting age, he added: “Everything is possible.”
It was not immediately clear what steps Poland might take to transfer the Ukrainians, such as deportation or a bilateral agreement with Kyiv.
The headline reminded me of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
So many Ukrainian flags in the profiles of people who imagine they would have opposed slavery.
Yes, the great majority of humans have cognitive dissonance and Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to the actions of governments. They always excuse whatever the State does that which they would never tolerate from people.
This war has cost American taxpayers 234 billion dollars. That's 234 billion dollars worth of jobs killed, or around two million jobs per year for each year of the Ukrainian War. That's $700 dollars for every person in this country, including children and illegal aliens who don't pay taxes. This translates to $2,800 for the average family of four and $4,200 for a family of six. All of this is being illegally and unconstitutionally stolen from you to subsidise an authoritarian regime and fund senseless slaughter. These are hard facts they don't want you to know. Are you happy about this?

Poland gets to solve its farmer problem, its longstanding anti-immigration sentiments & it’s full throated opposition to Russia by sending its Ukrainian residents & refugees straight to the front, killing three birds with one stone packaged as an ally supporting Ukraine.

I don't like this situation when so many Ukrainians now live in Poland and even not trying to integrate, but this is not fair. Most of them just escaped this horror and don't want to feed Russian meat grinder in the name of global elites and their filthy businesses.

The moment the State requires slavery to fight a war, by definition the State has lost the consent and mandate of the people for the war.
The draft can never be justified.
