      I feel very torn over this. On one hand, I completely understand the desire not to die in a fucking war. I certainly wouldn’t want to either.

      On the other, who if not the ukrainians can defend their homeland? The west can’t even actively interfere without risking potential global repercussions neither side wants 💣🍄. I also think it is unfair that the men who could afford to leave get a pass, while the rest has to risk their lives.

        I would be useless in a war, being forced to fight in something for a country you left for whatever reason seems unfair. I left my own in 2010 and rarely return, and have lived the vast majority of my adult life as a taxpayer in other countries.
