Slovak PM: Go Fight in Ukraine. (But Not If You Don't Have To.)
Fico, pushing for a peaceful resolution rather than weapons for Kyiv, snapped at students demanding more support for Ukraine. His blunt 'go fight for Ukraine' rhetoric, as reported by RT, is a classic move: demand sacrifice from those politically inconvenient, while leaders strategize from safe distances. It's reminiscent of the armchair generals who decry pacifism but never volunteer for the
draft. This isn't just about Fico; it’s a symptom of a broader European paradox. Leaders preach unwavering support for Ukraine, yet few are lining up for conscription themselves, nor are they pushing for a truly unified European defense force that would put their own citizens on the line. Instead, the rhetoric ramps up, sanctions are debated, and the Ukrainian people continue to pay the blood
price.
