This may be a nation with an all-volunteer military, one that ended conscription more than 40 years ago, but federal law still requires men ages 18 to 25 to register for a draft that does not exist. There are few exemptions and no second chances.

(16,151 posts)I have a 15 (almost 16) and 14 year old boys. They will be old enough to be fed into a war for DumpsterFire's ego.
Yes, I know we have an all volunteer army, now. But if we are at war with China? I have no doubt they will have to have a draft.

And Bannon is foaming at the mouth to attack them.
Gonna require the needless deaths of many American kids for that.
But the MIC will be laughing all the way to the bank.
But it can be up and running in 60-90 days! And this time it's a completely different show!!!

(3,827 posts)Netanyahu and Trump meet on Feb 15-- This will give them time to construct a plan to attack Iran. We all know Israel under Bibi has been itching to bomb the hell out of Iran for years.
Feb 16 is Kim Jong-un's birthday-- The day rumored to be their next ICBM launch.

These Trump clowns have NO idea what death and destruction they might unleash.
And if they do, then they are out of their fucking loathsome minds.

What are they going to live (if you want to call it that) in bunkers for the rest of their miserable lives?

(28,270 posts)They have dreamed about this day since Nixon. They have total power over the government. They will build a horrendous anti-science, anti-intellectual theocracy on the ashes of democratic America....GLADLY!

(3,922 posts)This administration will create a national disaster or war in order to bring the country together for a cause.
It'll never work with us but it will serve to cast dissenters as unpatriotic.
The next civil war will follow that.

(365 posts)Iran is one of the 7 countries in the ban...big oil and ports to move it. If we move on them, they will need to ally with Russia...Pootie goes in, "takes the oil" as he occupies and guess who finally becomes the billionaire he has lied about being...
Sounds like crazy conspiracy but I am beginning to worry it rings very true...
