If Hellary had won I was looking into sending my son to Israel even though we aren't Jewish. If I'm going to lose him to war, and she was building up to war with Russia that would almost certainly have required a draft, I'd rather it be in defense of Israel than being used as a mercenary by some muslim dictator (as O liked to make US troops do).

Young men need to look to themselves and prepare for the decline and collapse of our own countries. Even if they did all go to shore up Ukraine or Israel or Taiwan, at this point it wouldn't stop the implosion of the GAE and the neoliberal world order.
The establishment will attempt to implement a draft at some point, but mass conscription requires the consent and cooperation of the majority of the society, and this isn't the 1960s. I don't think they have the means to implement and enforce mandatory military service anymore, and they certainly don't have the political capital. The Boomers and the managerial hangers-on are the only ones with any faith remaining in our institutions. I don't think it's occurred to them that most young men now would flat out say "no, fuck off." And the Boomers especially would never acknowledge that they created that situation.
If they were to attempt to resume the draft, that would answer the eternal question of how stupid the elites really are: 100% retarded.
Desperate people try shit that they would normally not consider trying. It all depends on how tight a corner they feel they're backed into.
