‘Ordinary citizens do not want to be sent to a war with no end in sight’: Russian men consider exile.
Amid the threat of renewed conscription, some Russian men of fighting age have purchased plane tickets and are ready to leave if a general mobilisation is declared after the elections scheduled for 18 to 20 September.
Georgia, Armenia and Serbia are the most popular destinations.

Reading the end of Bad Moon Rising (about the Weather Underground) the author claimed they broke decades old promises to never live peacefully under the US system.
I however would argue that they "served their tours" more than almost anyone else in that era. While other talked, Weather DID.
They brought the war home, and played a role in the defeat of US imperialism in Vietnam.Also remember that both Richard Nixon and the US attack on Vietnam were defeated prior to any Weatherpeople surfacing. They had not only served their tours but played a role in defeating two immediate enemies.
Their role was shared with Jane Alpert's guerillas, famous for blowing up Selective Service's Whitehall Induction Center during Woodstock. Two million draft files were shredded and burned, disabling legal enforcabilty of induction orders for much of the Northeast.
Also important were the fighters who burned, bombed, or raided draft boards by the hundreds, again destroying files. Most famous of these were the Catonsville 9, who raided one draft board and burned the files outside in a metal trashcan. Their fuel was napalm made from gasoline-and their own blood. The press coverage was fucking huge and it was an international sensation. The use of napalm was of course to call attention to the US napalming civilians in Vietnam

Note that if Trump tries to bring back the draft, repeating that work today only requires cyberwarfare rather than kinetic direct action.

"When a European comes to a Ukrainian, who is getting bombed every day, and asks: ‘Why don’t you want to be the shield of Europe?’ I don’t get it. If you want to defend your values—go and defend them, don’t throw us under the bus."

As in Russia, also in Ukraine... 'Forced mobilization is not a sign of national resolve. It is a sign that the social foundation of the war is cracking.'

@maeve_bkk The claim does appear "speculative", or even misleading.
Ukraine has conscription. Russia does also, but with the option of alternative civilian service, like work in hospitals, or post offices. They are paid employees, not soldiers.
Ukraine is under martial law. Their men are forced to join the military. There is no civilian option.
Russia, as a whole, is not under martial law, and civilian service is an option.

@maeve_bkk How was that worded in the source you provided? I did not see that claim.
It's ironic that Ukraine forces men to fight, and they do not want to. The video below is from Ukraine.

My advice for any man drafted into World War III, is to do as John the Baptist said.
Luke 3:14 KJV
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do?And he said unto them,
"Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."
----
You can be a soldier, and yet refuse to hurt your fellow man. The government may capture you, but they cannot force you to kill. Instead, we could all do our part to bring peace.

This video appears to show a young Ukrainian man being captured by his own government, to be drafted into the war against Russia (what they call #conscription).
It's a war they do not want, but their government forces them to fight. Most Ukrainian men want their government to make peace with Russia.

Note that 1) this is a consistent theme, and 2) due to the way Finnish #conscription system works, Finnish green voter base is overrepresented (compared to population average) in the fighting strength of the Finnish military.

Le gouvernement autrichien a l’intention d’augmenter la durée du service militaire obligatoire

Very significant news/analysis by @ehasbrouck about the lessening likelihood that automatic draft registration will start in December in the USA, but also thr need for continued vigilance and organizing
Excerpt: If the SSS doesn’t get new rules and procedures in place in time, its options will be to (1) miss the legal deadline, (2) get Congress to postpone the effective date of the change in the law, or (3) get Congress to rescind the change in the law. Congress could either restore the widely ignored mandate for young men to register themselves, or repeal the Military Selective Service Act entirely.
The bottom line: “automatic” draft registration is not yet a done deal. Keep up the resistance!

A thought on Iran:
If Trump goes in on the ground and it bogs down, one thing that will go very badly for him is any attempt to bring back the draft to raise troops.
With his Chickenhawk First Class with Oak Leaf Cluster, with his "bone spurs," can you imagine Trump trying to draft others when he refused to serve himself in the Vietnam War which he supported?
I could see the draft being hooted down given Trump's "service record"
