This is a really convoluted way of asking "is arresting someone the same as kidnapping?" the answer is no.

Kidnapping is forcibly detaining someone in an illegal fashion. Hence, the police arresting someone for commiting a crime is not "kidnapping", whether you agree with the law or not.

    it’s a reality, in all but name

    (confusion)

    this war no longer has a point without trump

    I agree this war has no point. Russia tried to invade Ukraine and couldn't. Their "liberate Kyyv in one week" goal is like, 3 years behind schedule? And just got some life-saving oxygen due to Trump. Trump is immaterial. In case you don't follow international politics, no one is seriously counting on him for any war scenario.

    it’s worse than kidnapping.

    It could be worse than "kidnapping", but it's still not "kidnapping".

    I would love to discuss alternative realities, but I'm talking about the real world, where there's a draft, with consequences for dodging it. So, no. By definition it's not "kidnapping".
