      Are you aware that countries sharing borders is no excuse to force conscription against the individual’s will?

              Lol are you going to act like you don’t know that Israel’s conscription is part of the reason they are committing a bunch of war crimes right now? Sharing borders is no excuse to force military service and results in fascism.
