Yes people do have a moral to defend their country from invasion regardless of which democratically elected government is currently in power. You are purposefully changing the language, Its not a moral duty to fight its a moral duty to defend.
Yes I agree, but its not over until the leader decides it is. The only person with blood on their hands is the leaders who continue the war. Because the leader is elected to make decisions on behalf of the people if the leader says men aged 25+ need to enlist then our boy in the article should enlist.
Do you believe at all in civic duty? Do you think people have a societal obligation to follow laws in a democracy?
No, people do not have a moral duty to defend things they don't believe in. The fact that you can't get this through your head is absolutely phenomenal. Blindly following what the leader decides is fascism. You are a fascist.
"Things they don't believe in" is incorrect since the article states he clearly believes in the country of Ukraine and participating in their democracy.
He clearly doesn't believe fighting for it. Actions speak louder than words fash.
Yeah because he's a coward with no morals.
The only coward with no morals here is you.
