Sundance--or whoever writes under his tagline:

"There is a slow-motion buildup to a hot war with Russia happening. The NATO and western alliance motive for the war is clear {Go Deep}. The question is rapidly moving from “if” to “when.”

It's certainly well worth the read. OTOH, it sounds totally insane--those Arleigh Burke destroyers are sitting ducks for hypersonic missiles. OTOH, who ever said our delusional foreign policy elites were incapable of this level of insanity?

Today's military cannot continue as a functioning force without volunteers. But who in their right mind would volunteer for this mickey mouse club, especially if you're a conservative and don't want an experimental vaccine injected into you as soon as you report to the induction center followed by CRT and pronoun training? I posted here previously that there would be a downturn in military recruiting - and it was not going to be because there are not enough qualified volunteers. Now the standards are being lowered and those previously disqualifying/objectionable tattoos, criminal records, drug use, etc. are no longer quite so objectionable.

Could it become such a problem that selective service will once again be instituted? Standby to stand by as we said in the military. But as mentioned above, 2024 is a long way off and plenty of time to watch the military disintegrate even further as retirements spike and retention zeroes out.
