US demands more young Ukrainians die to save the US Empire

Reuters trotted out a story the other day citing an unnamed US official calling for Ukraine to lower the draft age. Let’s face it; that US official is right. What’s going on with a draft age of 25? By then the testosterone is diminishing and common sense is beginning to set in. That why you see all those videos of potential recruits resisting the recruiters. Here’s another fact to face; if the only reason you’re in the army is because the recruiters snatched you off the street and beat the crap out of you, your motivation is probably not up to snuff. That’s why it’s so important to get ‘em while they’re young and dumb. Drop the draft age to 18 already! Sixteen would be even better, but we’re probably veering awfully close to child soldier territory here, so maybe not. The Ukrainian side had what I thought was a witty rejoinder; “ we can’t even outfit the recruits we’ve got, because our partners never come through with what they promise us.” So what’s the point of dropping the draft age if you, the people who promised whatever it takes for as long as it takes, don’t live up to your promises? You gotta admit they have a point too. At the end of the day, there’s gonna be a lot of Ukrainians who are at least as pissed off at NATO as they are at Putin. I see blowback ahead.
