Back in '41, the nazis had the Russians on the back foot. Killing them by the millions. Did the Russians give up their country? Did they complain they had to conscript students?

Fuck no

They conscripted basically everybody. They pleaded the US for weapons and got them so they could make their sacrifice count.

They turned the tide, freed their country and beat the invaders back to the point their leader chose to off himself rather than face their wrath.

Now you're saying the Ukrainians should surrender because none of it matters??
