Суди попередніх інстанцій визнали протиправними дії ТЦК щодо мобілізації чоловіка і зобов’язали військову частину звільнити його з військової служби, але Верховний Суд вказав, що це неефективний спосіб захисту.
NATO is a millitary alliance of the most Imperialist countries on the planet. The purpose of NATO is to pressure geopolitical adversaries into opening up their economies for foreign investment and purchase, and crush anyone who would go against that gangsterism millitarily. Mob security is not defensive, it defends extractive processes.
NATO is frequently guilty of offensive movements as well, such as Operation Gladio. Really, NATO was formed to oppose Communism, which is why some of their earlier leaders, such as Adolf Heusinger, were literal Nazis who served in the Third Reich.
The reason NATO has increased millitarization along Russia’s border is to threaten it into opening up its Capital markets to be plundered by foreign Imperialists, just like what happened after the dissolution of the USSR before the Nationalists took power. Russia is no saint, it isn’t some grand hero, but without NATO trying to get Russia to open back up again the invasion likely never would have happened, as war is expensive in lives and materiel.
Trying to make this about “culture,” when Ukraine is also extremely socially conservative, makes no sense. If this was about opposing LGBTQ rights and “western values,” Russia would have invaded other countries with more progressive social values. Instead, they invaded Ukraine with the express goal of demillitarizing it, and extended a peace deal early in the war on the conditions of Ukrainian neutrality with respect to NATO and demillitarization. The UK and US stepped in to deny this, as they wished to milk Ukraine dry with brutal IMF loans so that they can profit off of the suffering of Ukrainians.
Ukraine isn’t a progressive country, though. They banned leftist parties and contain Nazi brigades like Azov. If Putin wanted to “oppose Western Values,” he’d target a country representing them.
As for the natural resources, this makes more sense, and is actually a secondary reason behind the invasion, the primary one of course being what they initially pushed for in the peace talks at the beginning of the war a few years ago, NATO neutrality and demillitarization. Now that that peace deal didn’t go through, they are eyeing ways to recuperate the cost of war.
NATO isn’t about “taking war off the table.” There isn’t an “economic solution” to Imperialism that would not be resisted millitarily by NATO. See Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Libya, Cambodia, Cuba, etc. NATO is about mantaining a brutally oppressive international system of exploiting the Global South for super-profits in the Imperialist countries.
Even economic solutions like de-dollarization are met with millitary aggression and coups from NATO countries.

Are you seriusly arguing that taking war off the table is “unfair”?
Economic problems, even international economic conflicts, should have economic solutions.
Not military ones.
Ukraine was invaded because it was the one country where Putin thought he might still have sufficient support.
I am fully convinced he genuinely believed it would be over in three days.
