We've heard A LOT this year (and it's only been a month!), we may need to conscript for a war with Russia! Not enough people are joining the military so we may need to look at conscription! If you don't give your mortgage to Ukraine we may need to conscript you and those you love...
In my opinion, it's all bullshit fear mongering. The last time America did conscription during Vietnam, It caused a LOT of 'friendly fire' incidents against officers or those in higher ranks above the conscripted while the loss of Vietnam basically made conscripting unwilling Americans political suicide. Since then the normies are either too jaded to be patriotic to the elites under the guise of 'national defense' to be conscripted or too weak that they'll likely turn on anyone trying to force them to fight so send them to war against Russia....they'll just mass surrender to the Russians giving them all their equipment too.
Just feels like an extremely desperate play by wielding conscription as a threat as then everyone realises there currently isn't enough military TO conscript the current populations and even then how many of them are loyal enough to the elites to conscript civilians?
He's not joking, there are blue cities and states where they're actively recruiting non-citizen police. Illinois in particular made it legal state-wide starting January 1st of this year.
That's more horrific than I can fully comprehend at the moment
Here's an article on it. If you ignore the AP's typical leftist downplaying and peruse the text, you'll see where they admit that it includes refugees and asylees who've been given the stamp of approval. It'll also include Obama's DACAs, when the subversive politicians inevitably allow them to legally own firearms.
