Would you rather get conscripted as a Ukrainian defending against Russia or get conscripted as a Russian to invade Poland?

That's the choice Ukrainians are facing.

In this dilemma I would choose to defend Ukraine full stop.

So the choice is to get conscripted right now for an ongoing war or to avoid the draft for now and risk being drafted sometime in the future for a war that most likely would never happen? There's no choice for sane person. And Ukrainians are much clever than you tend to think, that's why they are evading draft en masse: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/europe/ukraine-conscription-mobilization-bill.html

You think Putin will stop at Ukraine and Georgia? You were so confident that Biden was trying to make a distraction from domestic issues two years ago, right before the tanks rolled across the border.
