@iranidaturan You are forgetting the Democrats are soon back in power and will start pissing US taxpayer money away by funding Ukraine if not sooner, then surely later after Trump is gone.
Forced mobilization in Ukraine is one of the most appalling aspects of this war.
When the war began, Ukrainian men were lining up outside military recruitment offices, eager to enlist.
The Ukrainian government had an opportunity to establish an organized recruitment system with transparent conditions and financial incentives.
For example, a $10,000 advance payment could have encouraged Ukrainians to enlist. Ukraine is a very poor country, and many people might genuinely have considered joining the military.
But instead, people are simply snatched off the streets and sent to the front lines.
And there are some truly horrifying facts.
According to Ukraine’s Ombudsman, only 2–3% of those forcibly mobilized actually make it to the front lines.
The rest pay bribes, giving up everything they have just to stay alive. Bribes can reach $15,000, $20,000 or even $30,000, according to a Ukrainian MP. It’s madness.
