Your premise is flawed:

  • A cause can be right and just and people still not want to volunteer.
  • Ukraine's cause is right and just and they do have volunteers, just not as many as would be ideal,
  • Conscription is not immoral if it serves the greater Good, and in this case it absolutely does.

If your reasoning is that flawed you should rethink your allegiance to cowardice or russia, or both.

conscription is also necessary to solve for game theory in many cases

@Cephalotrocity you are incorrect. The market has decided that it is not right nor just or they would have volunteers. Russia also is not right nor just. War is a racket.

Says a lot that you use the market to decide what is right or just.

Edit: and they do have volunteers. For example, this is just for international volunteers
