If the people won't volunteer to fight, does Ukraine as we know it deserve to exist? Slavery is never justified, and that is what conscription is.

The Donbas is ethnicly and linguistically Russian. Ukraine could have let them secede peacefully. There is nothing sacred about national borders.

Ukraine could have accepted peace terms early on, but NATO intervened and said no.

The solution is not burdening every single American with debt and inflation, that's for damn sure.
