Unfortunately it's nothing new, war is big business. This only stops when the people demand it stop but that's unlikely when it's 8000 miles away and out of site, out of mind. We all talk about the revolving door between government regulators and Pharma, but it's just as bad with Generals and defense contractors. Like most things that make no sense, it's a racket.

Reinstatement of the draft should wake people up, and sadly that's where this seems to be heading. You can't fight these globalist, neocon wars when the sons of average working folks have woken up to the scam and refuse to volunteer. Recruitment is plummeting and I expect we'll see some trial balloons after the midterms.

Kind of like what Russia is facing now?

Upwards of one million men fled to avoid the draft.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has more

Men than they can train. Another batch of 10,000 just went through England and are headed back.

There are another 300-500k in the pipeline now awaiting training.

Do you ever give it a rest? I was specifically talking about the US and fifty years of war-mongering military adventurism that has been a disaster in just about every case. What does that have to do with Russians avoiding the draft?

BTW, starting a reply by twisting someone else's words into a hypothetical they did not say demonstrates bad faith. You have no intention of having an honest debate but simply want to argue. I have two teenagers so I'm very used to it, but unlike you they are growing out of it as they mature.

I really do not care what Russia is doing other than having a desire for peace. I do know that every story has two sides and your obsession with injecting a one-sided distorted view into every tangentially-related conversation is truly bizarre. At best you are a paid shill, more likely you suffer from obsessive-compulsive or oppositional-defiance disorder and just enjoy being argumentative.

Seriously, you don't have to live like this, it's deeply unhealthy and will lead to a very unhappy life as you alienate everyone around you. Others may enjoy stimulating discussion but they don't like being around unpleasant people looking to pick fights.

Now do Russia.

The USA and Russia are not morally equivalent.

I have a desire for peace also and so does Ukraine but not at the expense of the Ukrainian people.

The 3 day war of NWO Vaccinator Putin is not going well.
