    Just surprising that there hasn’t been enough of an organized resistance to hear anything about it. There are millions of Ukrainians who have left the country and aren’t being repressed by their government who could be speaking out or organizing in some way

      I think something to consider here is anyone who fled to the West would live under the threat of being returned if they went against what their receiving country wants.

        I think there were pushes to round up would-be conscripts and deport them back to Ukraine to fight die. I remember reading about it either being implemented or discussed a while back.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_conscription_crisis

        NATOpedia says that ~3.7m conscription aged men are either dead, fled, or in hiding.

        Several social media groups containing tens of thousands of members were created to alert men to the movements of mobilization officers so they could evade confrontation.

        Yeah, looks like there is organized resistance. We’re just not hearing about it much.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
