I don't know about the bribes, but draft dodging the war in Ukraine is based.

In general agree, but I get the impression that it's mostly rich kids who get to go live in the west while poor ones are sent to die.

Same as it ever was…

the rules on draft dodging are that it's cool if you don't support the war, and spend the rest of your life not supporting bourgeois war

if you help other people dodge that's even better but i don't begrudge someone who can get away but doesn't have the means to bring 50 oh his closest friends along.

sabotage is even cooler than dodging but that's hard to ask of anyone.

Zelenskyy fires them for taking bribes and not for grabbing people on the street and throwing them in vans.
