EU to force its young men to fight in Ukraine. War is money making monster.

As Ukrainian casualties soar, EU will move to conscript European youth to fight, warns Hungarian FM

Hungary’s foreign minister warns of an EU-wide draft that could force European youth to serve in Ukraine

Ukraine’s high causality rates combined with its struggle to conscript its own population means the EU will increasingly move to conscript European youth, mostly in the geographical proximity of Ukraine, to fight against Russia, said Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó following a meeting with EU foreign ministers. “Ukrainian casualties are becoming more and more unbearable, Ukrainian men are not being allowed out of Ukraine, and now they want to conscript European youth into the war. And obviously, as the escalation hits this neighborhood first, one can almost clearly hear the argument that the soldiers should be sent from the geographical proximity first.

Germany begins to militarize: When have we seen this before?

A recent upsurge in fighting talk could mark a turning point in the history of the nation, and not a good one

Recent German history is marked by two dates – 1918 and 1945 – that stand for extraordinary, catastrophic failures of, among other things, militarism. Most countries have militaries, many have substantial ones. But militarism is, of course, something else: In essence, the term stands for a syndrome: a type of politics and culture – an integrated Zeitgeistpackage, if you wish – that harmfully exaggerate the public importance, social prestige, and political power of a country’s military.

    If they try an conscript Zoomers, the current fighting age generation then, they will be in for a surprise I expect. The current 18 to twenty something cohort in Europe are not born fighters. They are more soft, feminised, entitled, ladyboys who wear cosmetics and use lots of other body products

    So they won’t stand much chance of getting them on to the battlefield. And it will only wake them up to modern war realities if they try. Whatever one thinks of Zoomers they do know how to find stuff out on t’interweb. And current Russia/Ukie war realities are available from many many sources for all to see. Russia has won and all the poor Ukie guys thrown into the meat grinder are now dead, with over a thousand more of them dead EVERY day

    Prison for failing to enlist for a pointless war, or death? Only idiots, and the brainwashed, will choose death

      I think they mean those that have already joined up. There would be no takers among people who haven’t ever signed up and have no intention of doing so.

        Conscription means civilians being forced to join up. Otherwise they suffer punishment, see WW1&2
