That is the Russian Ambassador. Not good.
Of course the Russian ambassador is saying that. He should be. That's expected political rhetoric.

Now, if the American ambassador starts saying that, then we have a problem.

In this upside down switched parties world that we now live in, it will be the conservatives protesting the draft and the liberals advocating for it to include women (equality) and the righteousness of fighting russia (trump)

I think were this war to happen, this country would break apart before it is over. Millions are not going to fight for a man they see as a tyrant.

Wonder if those that voted for Biden thought they might have to give their life, or the life of a family member, for him and his administration.

If they reinstate the draft, Ukraine ain't their motivation. Young woke conscripts would be trained for domestic action (illegal as hell, but when did this administration care about that?). Mark my words.

Trump had four years to end the war as he promised. Just couldnt do it. He just gave away everything to Taliban if they wouldnt shoot Americans anymore. Keep electing clumsy old men like Trump and Biden and what do you expect.


Now how about Trump calling up his buddy Putin and asking him to stand down? Oh thats right he doesnt have equal standing to Putin. He is Putin's lacky. Agent Orange.

I got a peculiar letter in the mail a week ago about how the draft is being restructured and I am a potential candidate because they plan on extending the ages all the way to 46 for special occasions (in my case, I'm an electric mechanical engineer with over 20 years of experience).

A "special letter" from whom?

The draft is for cannon fodder, not specialists. If they need engineers, they'll contract 'em.

Are you retired military or a member of the Retired Reserve? If so, you can be recalled for a certain number of years after separation.

No they are not wanting a war. We are trying to avoid Russia invading Ukraine. When will you stop lying?
