    If it’s a crime, do not fire them, lock them up in pris-

    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the actions “treason” and has initiated criminal proceedings.

    Oh. Oh well.

      Also, one of the main reasons the Russian army has been underperforming is corruption. Loads of money siphoned, incompetent people getting positions, you name it. Zelenskyy is also making sure the same doesn’t happen in his country and stays on top performance/efficiency wise.

        Check under the hood of any army and you’re going to find all sorts of corruption, graft, and kickbacks. War Is A Racket.

    On one hand, I absolutely agree with this. It’s human nature to want to avoid such a fate if one can reasonably avoid it. If I had the money and could buy my way out of participation in a fucking war…I’d hate to think that I wouldn’t.

    I know it’s their home and things like that…but not everyone cares about those sorts of ties, and they become even less meaningful in death. I’m not saying I condone their actions, just that I understand.
