Ukraine (Mod Note & Threadbanned Users in OP)

Again there not the 2nd most corrupt country in Europe, just like Manchester united isn't the biggest club in the world, one opinion doesn't make it true ,

Ukraine hasn't banned the Ukrainian Orthodox church either,they have clamped down on the Russian church in Ukraine who's priests are all decorated members of the FSB , and loyal to the Kremlin,

Of course they are going to gain attention from the Ukrainans why wouldn't they ,a spy ring masquerading as a church, they should all be detained and deported back to Russia and all of their properties sized and transferred to the Ukrainans church or given to the Ukrainan population to use for community groups and education

An example of a Russian Orthodox priest,very decorated by the FSB

Can't beat the lure of adventure and danger , hasn't been a war yet that didn't feature young impressionable men going off to war to show their bravery for country and some young ladies hand .

Mercenaries are paid former or serving soldiers who are hired for their skill sets

But it's not the Ukrainans recruiting them it's a foreign legion fighting along side the Ukrainan military that's doing the recruiting,

The Ukrainan military is already turning volunteers away and have been for best part of a year .

The Gardai are doing a good job, but military intelligence should be at the forefront along with investments in the defense forces

According to you, its a simple matter of turning up in Ukraine, being handed a weapon, and pointed in the general direction of the front lines ??? Really? The legion, who are responsible for recruiting foreigners who wish to aid Ukraine and fight Fascism, have pretty strict criteria for anyone wishing to join their ranks. There are a lot of steps before you get handed a weapon, never mind going to a front ( or indeed any) line. If accepted, an assessment will be undergone and based on the results, the volunteer will be assigned a role in keeping with his previous experience, be it Military, Medical or Logistics or "Other" functional activity that could be used militarily. Age, and general health will have a major influence on assessment outcomes.

So No, its not like the Russian Army where ALL recruits are welcome, regardless of circumstances, willing or unwilling. All that the Russians require is that their recruits / conscripts be vertical and breathing at the time of joining. And of course, there are no guarantees as to how long that status will be maintained.

I'd imagine you could sign up for the Russian military to fight the neo Nazi's CIA sponsored Ukrainan junta.

If you wanted .

No school kids been recruited according to the article.

So when did young men become school kids.

Yes, and even worse, getting the professional Ukrainian/other soldiers killed while trying to protect or rescue the newcomers. This is not a game. There has been cases where professional Legion soldiers that were interviewed said that they found the war in Ukraine to be far deadlier than anything they have previously experienced. And these guys would be far from novices.
