Ukraine Army Drafts Disabled Man With No Arms
While the Ukraine civil war, which just last summer was the biggest market-moving event and media discussion topic, has faded into the collective subconsciousness, for residents on both sides of the proxy conflict it continues to be an all too real and tragic event.
As Sputnik reports, Ukraine's sixth wave of mobilization, launched on June 18 in connection with Kiev's continuing military operation against independence supporters in Donbass, is set to continue until mid-August. Ukrainian authorities had plans to call up between 100,000-150,000 men to the military in 2015, with President Poroshenko signing a decree in March extending the army's size to 250,000 personnel. Last week, the General Staff of the country's Armed Forces extended the period of service for the third wave of mobilization, conscripts who were called up last September, to October 31.
But while tragic, the ongoing collapse of yet another state which the US State Department decided to convert into a proxy warzone to engage Russia, recently turned into a grotesque farce for Anatoliy Lyubimov, a resident of central Ukraine's Kozyatinskiy district, who recently received a draft notice mobilizing him to join the Ukraine army in its ongoing war with the Donetsk separatists. The reason: Anatoliy is disabled and has no arms.
According to Ukraine's Korrespondent.net, Anatoliy's mother Tatyana described her bewilderment when she came home to find the draft notice. "I come home, and see that a draft notice has come. I said to Tolya, 'you're being summoned to the enlistment office'. I felt such a sense of anxiety for the country at that moment, thinking 'look who they're calling up now.'"
Anatoliy assumed that the notice was a joke: he had lost his arms nine years ago, and was personally acquainted with the local commissioner, who he said knew about his disability.
Nevertheless, having received the notice, Anatoliy decided that he would turn up at the enlistment office.
Authorities at the draft office were forced to apologize for the ridiculous mistake. "We send out draft notices to people in connection with the sixth wave of mobilization," deputy commissar of the Kozyatinskiy enlistment office Leonid Shkur told reporters. Anatoliy demanded that the enlistment office get its affairs in order, and stop sending summons for service to people who are clearly unable to serve.
The medical commission, which decides if a person is fit for military service, annulled the summons. "My draft notice was immediately taken away, so that no one ever sees it again. It was annulled," Anatoliy added.
While grotesque, Anatoliy's experience captures the real tragedy of ongoing military conflict and understandably, each new wave of Kiev's mobilization effort has met with mass resistance from the country's young men. According to Sputnik, dodging the draft, including by hiding from officials in relatives' homes and fleeing abroad (mainly to Russia, where an estimated 1.3 million potential conscripts were earlier estimated to reside), has turned into a mass phenomenon. Authorities have reacted by threatening harsh jail terms for the draft dodgers, and by expanding the draft age to include men up to 60 years of age.
The necessity to draft young men to serve in an unpopular war has led to problems for the military itself. As Ukrainian news hub Vesti reported last month, over 10,000 conscripts have deserted from the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the conflict in April 2014. Moreover, an analysis by French magazine Nations Presse suggested that some 50,000 conscripts are actually incapable of combat for medical reasons, with many of the rest effectively serving as "cannon fodder" due to lack of proper training. Earlier this week, an entire tank battalion hit the news after going AWOL, stating that they would refuse to take orders from their command, and urging the president to deal with widespread corruption and lawlessness in the army.
This, of course, in addition to Ukraine currently negotiating an orderly default with its creditors (among which a very intransigent Russia), and desperately seeking to contain its imploding economy, soaring prices and a crashing currency.
So, dear Greek readers, when you lament your fate don't forget: it could always be worse.

I once knew a dog with no nose.
How did he smell?
Terrible!

He can find a functional idiot during the war and they can run a shrimp boat afterward... the idiot can constantly explain to him that he has no arms...
OK, who deprived him of his right to bear arms?
"You must sign Zee papers"!
He's either just really fucking good at headbutting people or can lay down and shoot people using his cock to pull the trigger.
He's going to captain the 101st Chernobyl division.
Havn't those guys got 4 arms ? Or should I say armlet's ?
They'd give him a medal if he could pin it on...sadly, he's only a foot soldier now
If they give him a Kalashnikov would he be considered armed then?
@SMR:
"Foot soldier."
Priceless.
Strap his dick to the trigger and show him porn?
What a hoot!
The only smart Ukrainian is an ex-Ukrainian.

Never underestimate a man! Watch Michael shoot his .45 with his feet.

Is he an Eye-Rack vet? at least he won't piss his pants when the first IED goes off
Draft my ass at 60, run me through boot...I'm not running, not doing PT, refuse to hold a rifle in support of the War Criminal Government...I'm either going to sit in a brig for the entire war or sit in a hole waiting for the shooting to stop.
If it speaks Russian, kill it.
If it wears a blue beret, kill it.
He would still need ear protection.
Meanwhile London hosts numerous children of the Ukrainian Oligarchs and Polticians
Not very army.
Farewell to arms.

Of course, the Ukrainian Army could give Tolya chainsaw and boomstick prosethetics. After the war he would be a most persuasive street beggar.
If they're breathing, draft'em, except of course if their a member of the proper class they are too important to haul a ruck and a rifle over hill and dale.......
<< Ukraine Army Drafts Disabled Man With No Arms >>
That's nothing. Some armies draft men with no brains.
some?
We take all kinds :)
Western governments and corporations are stacked with Ivy league ziocons. And they just took over Ukraine. No Ivy league grads need apply...
Kick some ass though!
Well there was no arm done there
they're all in together - unless it's one of the oilgarchs or their families of course in which case they have important work to do maybe outside the country.
what's that saying, "the US will fight to the last ukrainian" must be getting close to another offensive or the last ukrainian.
Who would die for a thouroughly corrupt, bankrupt U.S. puppet regime propped up by Nazis?
Nuland and her ilk made the fatal mistake of assuming Ukrainians can be blinded as easy as Americans by flag-waving - that only gets people to Maidan for cookies. Few in Ukraine are willing to die for the corrupt money-stealing bastards running Ukraine today. There is no Ukraine - there is only a cabal of oligarchs operating under the banner of Ukriaine, Inc. with a sticker that says "Now under NEW management". It's the same one they used in 2005.
and why die for the puppet master either? All US soliders resign
Nobody is dying for anybody in the U.S. armed forces today. No experience necessary, it's a decent job (relatively speaking), there's health insurance, housing, food and it pays OK. What U.S. soldier would resign on principle today, live in their car and beg for a job at Wal*Mart instead? It's a little more complicated than a binary moral choice.
Armchair morality is easy when it's someone else's decision to make.
Elwood: Ukrainian Nazis.
Jake: I hate Ukrainian Nazis.
Lagarde: I praise Ukrainian Nazis for taking another step this week toward unlocking more IMF funding.
Mighty Mack: Elwood, they have automatic weapons.
Elwood Blues: Look in the glove compartment.
Mighty Mack: Carpet Tacks! They have guns and we have carpet tacks.
Elwood Blues: They're not carpet tacks. They're dry-wall nails.
Elwood knows how it should be done.
This is so pathetic on so many levels, that I don't know if I should laugh or cry...

Meanwhile...the MH17 mystery lives on.
'Was there a 2nd plane?' New footage shows MH17 crash site minutes after Boeing downinghttp://www.rt.com/news/310082-mh17-video-another-aircraft/
aircraft was shot down by Kiev forces, renegade forces controlled by the ZioNazi Oligarch Kolomeisky.
Remember the email to the US Army attache in Kiev? Create a false flag attack.
Immediately after being shot down the USA media reported that Russia did it., BEFORE any investigation.
Just like 911, the ZioNazis are behind it all.

At least the Azov Batt. and the Right Sektor guys are motivated.
The problem is they are better at marching backwards than forward.
In Murica they would have forced him to do his service or go to prison.
Unless he could write a letter stating why he cannot serve.
I once knew a man named Anatoliy
With two legs but no arms that I could see
With the latest in shoes
from some oligarch Jews
He could kick his own ass for his country
i wish Potroshenko to burn in hell for eternity
"You just shot an unarmed man!"
he shoulda armed himself...
None shall pass!
Soros's cannon fodder.....
Tyler gives ZH a cripple to play with. He knows his audience. This place is way better than the Onion.
Hey, he could still fight, like the black knight in monty python...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4
What do you mean... he can still walk yes?
Then stick him on the front line! what's wrong with you.
Let me guess ... He entered the arms race.
Thats nothing. Uncle Sam signs up retards everyday, Smart people don't join up.
He can peddle the bike to recharge the night vision batteries.
He can peddle the bike to recharge the night vision batteries.
Can't join the ARMy without, I reckon.
Unarmed forces; what a concept.
I see no problems here, just 'arm' the man
Hey! I'm sure he can offer a hand.
The new artillery shell.
Perfect candidate for "Operation Living Shield".
Furthermore fuck all the idiots who fight for bankers.
I don't know. This guy has no arms and he's pretty good with a gun:

From "All Quiet on the Western Front" (A1 means "fit for service"):
Kat tells a story that has travelled the whole length of the front from the Vosges to Flanders;--of the staff surgeon who reads the names on the list, and when a man comes before him, without looking up, says: "A1. We need soldiers up there." A fellow with a wooden leg comes up before him, the staff surgeon again says A1--"And then," Kat raises his voice, "the fellow says to him: 'I already have a wooden leg, but when I go back again and they shoot off my head, then I will get a wooden head made and become a staff surgeon'." This answer tickles us all immensely.
You dont need arms for cannon fodder duty
He's the kind of guy they are in great need of.
He will never surrender.
For the Ukrainian "slithers," pols and crats, and their Zionist controllers, he is perfectly useful as a bullet catcher.
Maybe they will give him a cookie while he catches bullets.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
One of my Ukranian born employees is in Lviv now and was in Kyiv for the last few weeks. In Kyiv everyone she meets is unhappy and often grumpy at their jobs. The sotores in downtown Kyiv on Kryschiotic street are often closed except for the few upscale ones. She does not go out after dark, and avoids open street walking. The trend over her last 5 trips during the last 2 years is steadily going down. Ukranians are very enduring and used to hardships, but this is difficult even for them. I imagine that if Kyiv is bad that the smaller towns are worse. In a few days I will have a first hand report on Lviv in the west Ukraine. In the past it has been a very beautiful city.
mere flesh wound
Now you know why the have remained behind the Garlic Curtain for a millenia.
The families do not want young people to get drafted not only because of the war, which some of them support but the attitude of the command.
There are still hundreds of solders MIA most likely burned or blown up by their commanders as it was reported, also mobile crematoriums were deployed to limit numbers and turn KIA to MIA and blame rebels. There are still hundreds of dead Ukrainian solders buried by Donbas militia in temporary graves since Kiev regime refused to take them for free.
In contrast for every dead body of militiaman militia had to pay thousands of dollars, there was no exchange of bodies. Hundreds of soldier were " rescued from the war prisons in Dombas not by their commanders but by mothers coming to to Donetsk to pick them up and bring them home only to face prosecution for AWOL.
It is critical to know that there are UKRAINIAN CITIZENS FIGHTING ON BOTH SIDES of the conflict (overall perhaps as many as hundred thousands) with about 1500-2000 western mercenaries as well as Russian private citizen unpaid volunteers (also from Serbia, France, Spain etc.) combined.
Very concise background about what this dangerous geopolitical standoff over Ukraine is all about in historical context as well as who are Ukrainians and why we should never not go to war and die for Ukraine I found at:
https://contrarianopinion.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/ukraine-no-country-for-no-man/
Despite willful ignorance of MSM, there is no secret that brutal war is raging in Eastern Ukraine region of Donbas as we speak despite many cease fire agreements and hence it is our duty not to forget war atrocities that were and are committed by Ukrainian Army, US trained National Guard, US, UK run private contractors and openly Nazi para-military groups such as Right Sector, financed and independently controlled by Ukrainian oligarchs including Ukrainian president himself, spreading terror among Donbas population and beyond.
What is most disturbing, but unfortunately has ample of historical examples, is fact of EU and US direct involvement and substantial control of inner workings of fascist Ukrainian government by high ranking EU and US officials including White House, DoS and CIA bought and paid for using Billions of US taxpayers’ dollars with no, oversight or accountability.
From 2014 “appointment” of Ukrainian PM by Mrs. V. Nuland, as documented by leaked phone conversation, to insane push for economic austerity of country already in severe depression, in conditions of war championed by US corporate bosses and IMF to manipulation of cabinet ministers in 2015.
Below there is a document showing how US senator interferes with affairs of fascist Ukrainian government, instructs Ukrainian PM of so-called independent state about desirable personnel assignments to government positions, expressing his concerns and wholehearted support for the fascist regime.

After horrifying events of last 12 months of the war there is a testament that was left by many thousands of dead and injured victims of this war, civilians, women and children and soldiers on both sides. It is a testament of absurdity and irrationality of any war, a testament of absolute imperative for peace in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world, a testimony of hopelessness and helplessness of violence as a tool of resolving and settling anything at all.
Here, as a testimony to the world, is seven minutes of horrible truth about Donbas war and what US military/materiel support went for in eastern Ukraine. Every American should know this awful human truth, no need for translation.
WARNING: EXTREME DOCUMENTARY OF MILITARY COMBAT, NO MASKS OR EDITS, I MEAN EXTREME GRAPHIC BRUTALITY AND VIOLENCE, INTENSE HUMAN SUFFERING AND GRUSOME CIVILIAN DEATHS INCLUDING SMALL CHILDREN.
FILM SHOWS HORRIFYING REALITY OF WAR WITH ALL ITS CHAOS, ABSURDITY, AND FUTILITY. THERE ARE NO HEROES OR GLORY OF WAR IN THIS FILM, ONLY SENSLESS VICTIMS.
OFFICIALLY RATED 18+; BUT I RATE IT 21+
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN OR ANY VULNERABLE ADULTS TO SEE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PREPARE FOR SHOCK.
