I really don’t like compulsory military service, it’s a human rights violation in my opinion.

The only use of a military in those countries was protection of the people, and the protection of socialism from outside threats.
i’m just glad that this is a very concrete stance that definitely will not and never has been bent to absurdity to justify wars 🤗

that’s admirable, (if you sideline the fact that US isn’t a terribly high bar to overcome in terms of non-involvement in military conflict) but that’s not my point
just because one’s goals happen to be “good” or “bad” doesn’t change the fact that mandatory military service is a violation of human rights; the precursor, justification, consequences, economic system, surrounding rhetoric are not relevant, because we’re discussing the semantics of “violation of human rights”, not whether its consequences lead to more or less peaceful outcomes

mfs already part of nato AND eu, why do they have to pile even more on top? if anyone is safe, it’s them 🥲
Aside from contributing to the alliance, you’d still need to be able to defend until help arrives, and Latvia is tiny.
the mandatory military service requirement would apply only to men
Very disappointing.
Fucking disgusting, warmongering at its finnest.
