Again, you’re strawmaning. I never argued that Ukraine is a “proper democracy”.
My argument is and continues to be that the Ukrainian government is more accountable to it’s population than the Russian government. Therefore the Ukrainian government must value the opinions of the Ukrainian population more than the Russian government values the opinions of the Russian population.
You’re argument about Syria is a red herring fallacy. I never argued that authoritarian regimes are immune to their population’s opinions. I’ve been arguing that the more authoritarian a government, the less accountable the government to their population.
At this point, I think you are either incapable of logical reasoning or arguing in bad faith.

And I, once again, have explained why this doesn’t matter because the draft has nothing to do with democratic input. You refuse to address this.

Your*
And no it isn’t.
I’ve been arguing that the more authoritarian a government, the less accountable the government to their population.
Do you know what MARTIAL LAW means? What the hell are you even talking about? Take a step back - you are arguing that Ukrainian draft officers are having to beat and kidnap men to send to the front line because Ukraine is more accountable to its people. I am arguing that it is necause they have a manpower shortage. You are ridiculous.

I’m not arguing this point.
I am arguing that it is necause they have a manpower shortage
I have never denied that Ukraine has a manpower shortage.
You are ridiculous
And then you call me ridiculous when I didn’t make the first point and don’t disagree with the second point. This is textbook strawmanning.
I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith using these tactics.
