Most likely. But why is the West playing along with him? I mean media hysteria.
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.
With very few exceptions, all immigrant males between ages 18 and 25 are required by law to register with the Selective Service System (SSS) within 30 days of arriving in the United States. 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"
It's not as easy for an American to relocate to Canada as it once was. Understandably, they don't want jobless, penniless and unskilled public charges draining their social services.
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.
Drafting unmotivated people to go train and then immediately send them against their will to a war zone? No, that won’t ever be done again.
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.
