mom's unhinged war-time travel PSA disguised as parenting

A mum recounting the absolute nightmare of her son nearly getting himself conscripted into a war zone because he apparently thought his NATO citizenship was a get-out-of-jail-free card. Starts with some incoherent book chat, pivots hard into a paranoid rant about her lad wanting to visit Russia during an active war, and ends with her explaining how Eastern European conscription scams work like she's seen some things. Vibe: Concerned parent having a stress-induced fever dream about geopolitics, accidentally becoming a cautionary PSA Key topics: son's terrible travel plans, Russian war conscription, Eastern European street enforcement, NATO passport privilege Transcript: You know what I mean? I mean, because that would be big have to be gorgeous like this one. And I think I really cut into the book. And you can't take it back once the answer is done. But now that he ended up with her, right? But he, and I was in Bulgaria when he first started this and he said, Mom, where do I go to get this medical card, you know, like for the insurance when you're traveling. I told him where to get it, you know. And the next day I said, Oh, where are you going? And he went, Russian. I went, what? I says, do you not know there's a war on? This was like the first year of the war. And he went, well, nobody's going to be interested in me. I'm not an important person. I went, you're from a European Union, you're from a NATO country. They will stop you on the street, put their hand in your pocket and say, oh, there's drugs. You've got 20 years or you go to the war. Do you know what I mean? Because that happened to a lot of people.
