How did it weaken NATO? Be specific.

Even if nothing is going to happen, it's certainly better for Team Biden to be shifting attention off domestic issues with Russia, Russia, Russia.

They've already tried denying inflation was occurring, then that it was temporary, then that it was good for poor people and the last one was trying to blame the whole thing on corporations like Kroger.

That chain of gross anti-science (science of finance and economics) really ended my patience with the administration.

This includes naturalized citizens, parolees, undocumented immigrants, legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, refugees, and all males with visas more than 30 days expired.
Non-Immigrant Foreigners

Non-immigrant men living in the United States on a valid visa are not required to register for as long as they remain on a valid visa up until they turn 26

"Law breakers are required, by law, to register... blah blah blah"


I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Sounds like a good policy...

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.
Pushing for war? hahahahahahahahahahaha

Look over here at what I wont do and make sure you don't look over there at what I am doing.

In case you haven't noticed, we've been at war for decades. Look up Middle East.

What next? Bidens looking for war with North Korea? Or did he already do that? I can't tell the war mongers apart.

The reality is that several were not honoring their NATO commitments, primarily Germany which is/was, arguably, the country that benefits most from both the presence of troops and the existence of the organization.

I already posted a link showing which countries weren't meeting their commitments.

If the draft was ever implemented again, and I doubt it ever would, but if it was, I could see perhaps backfilling CONUS garrison support with draftees. Then give them the option to volunteer to go forward if they so choose.

But I’d put the odds at any kind of draft happening at less than 1%.
I would place that percentage a little higher, why? 18 year old males still to this day have to register for the draft.

The Congress just hasn't been roused to re-contemplate the law. They don't know what kind of message it would send to repeal it, or what the repercussions of that discussion might be.

By the same token, a lot of states continued to have anti-miscegenation laws on their books decades after Loving v Virginia. Oklahoma legislators, when asked years after Loving why they had not repealed the impotent law on their books, said, "We don't want to send the wrong message."

And Nintendo fans still whine when their next game will come out. They don't get the world is a lot different then 2016-2018. I wonder how these fans will feel when they are drafted? Can they take their Switch with them to war or try to?

Imagine the toxic Switch fans playing BOTW 2 which FINALLLLLLLLLLLY came out all the while machine guns are bursting and canons are firing mortar rounds all about them. They are in their little trench cubby hole trying to get the next round of Korok seeds.
