F35-B Lightning jets have embarked on HMS Prince of Wales, one of the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers. The fifth-generation stealth aircraft flew from their home base of RAF Marham, Norfolk, to the North Sea on Monday 19th February 2024. The aircraft, capable of fulfilling air-to-air and air-to-ground roles as well as intelligence gathering and electronic warfare, are now under the command of the UK Carrier Strike Group who are also afloat on HMS Prince of Wales.

According to Kyle Anzalone of Antiwar.com, NATO “has hundreds of thousands of soldiers ready to deploy to fight Russia within a month.”

At CaitlinJohnstone.com, Caitlin Johnstone suggests that the US is preparing for WWIII and expanding draft registration. She writes:
This and other frightening nuclear escalations with Russia are happening at the same time US lawmakers are working to expand draft registration to women and to automate registration for men, both of which would help broaden the pool of warm bodies the US would have available to throw into a hot war with a major military power.
Edward Hasbrouck writes the following for Antiwar:
“The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) approved a version of the NDAA that would expand Selective Service registration to include young women as well as young men. This version of the NDAA will now go to the floor as the starting point for consideration and approval by the full Senate.
“Also on June 14th the full House of Representatives approved a different version of the NDAA that would make Selective Service registration automatic while keeping it for men only.”
As Reason’s CJ Ciaramella explains in an article about this move to automate draft registration, the official reason for this push is to make the system run more efficiently, but “The other, unspoken effect would be removing young men’s choice to engage in civil disobedience.” If the US war machine starts a new horrific conflict that the Zoomers don’t believe in, ideally you want to make it as hard as possible for them to resist being fed to the cannons.
The draft is one of those things that gets more disgusting the more you think about it, especially in a nation whose government is as belligerent and psychopathic as the USA’s. These freaks can engage in any amount of brinkmanship they like with nations they have no business fighting — all without any of their actions ever being put to a vote from the general public — and then if it goes hot they get to turn to a bunch of kids in their teens and early twenties and say “This isn’t our problem, it’s your problem. Go fight and kill and die for your country.” They can start a war with their own recklessness and then chill out and sip martinis while your kids go get killed in it.
This is evil, this is ugly, and it needs to stop.
