it’s always about the $$$ when it comes to africa.

That explains A LOT!!! Lol

Yes: it was either the “war on drugs” or the Monroe doctrine

They still have plenty of 18 year olds and I bet that they punish the ones to can see the writing in the wall that their gov’t refuses to acknowledge and try to save themselves from the pointless meat grinder.

difference is that now they don’t have to invent a reason like iraqi wmd’s

the point is moot however, the colombians have already caved like the americans wanted them to.

the archive version link seems to show a different article that doesn’t mention russia at all; maybe it’s the wrong link?

The government tried to address the issue by lowering the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and introducing tougher rules for those evading the call-up. But it has so far resisted lowering the mobilisation age further to boost manpower.

meanwhile, in the american empire, we send adult sized children at 18 who are not yet old enough to drink alcohol or rent a car to commit terrible violence in in places like the middle east or latin america and no one bats a single eye.

like scotland, mexico, catalonia or any other nation unlucky enough to be too close to a larger & more powerful nation, ukraine’s future is inextricably linked to russia’s for the foreseeable future.

like most of those other nations have done at several times in history, they’re currently experiencing what happens when they entertain the nation of full independence, but it only serves irks the ire their richer neighbor and i hope they come out stronger for it; like the other nations have also been forced to become.

maybe at one point, far into the future when the most power nations stop allowing the profit motive to dictate their behavior; nations like ukraine will be fully able to call their own shots.

Germany’s Centre for Political Beauty
