As to the age at which Ukrainian boys should be subject to the draft, he wrote “18 to 14”.

The reverse age order of 14 coming second very likely indicates he meant to type 24.

Here it is:

“…Why won’t Ukraine conscript people in the 18-14 age range? I gather it’s because Zelensky believes doing so would make the war unpopular, and he along with it…”

Yes, Paul — putting unwilling 14 year olds on the front line would be… unpopular.

And… criminal — many of them would not yet have seen their voices (and other parts) descend / change.

If you’re gonna’ advocate the marching of kids off to die — and ask kids to do the killing for you — Paul, you should double check your typing skills. 14?!

Even 18 is (IMHO) too young to die.

No… 25 is plenty young enough (it was 27, until this weekend). But he goes on to argue that the US shouldn’t fully support a nation that won’t force its youngest boys to fight.

That’s… frankly… insane.

[Maybe we should ask Paul whether he thinks innocent 14 year old Hebrew boys in Tel Aviv, some possibly not yet bar mitzvah-ed, should be likewise conscripted into the IDF in Israel.]

Damn. War is indeed… Hell.
