Global tensions are rapidly rising as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war shows no signs of slowing down, fueling fears of a potential World War III. Former President Donald Trump is calling for urgent peace talks, but Russian President Vladimir Putin remains resolute in his stance.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is working to secure a critical mineral deal with Ukraine, although a recent meeting with President Zelensky fell short, dampening hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough.
Trump has issued a stark warning that without substantial progress, the situation could escalate into nuclear war. Amid these growing concerns, the U.S. government has reminded men between the ages of 18 and 25 to register for the Selective Service, reigniting fears of a military draft as the world teeters on the brink of a major global conflict.
I believe we need a draft system today. Young people do not seem to understand that one must work to live, and the more educated one is the better the job opportunities. Furthermore, if one is to work, one must learn to follow instructions. So, a new draft system would not only assure young people are trained and ready to defend our country, but it would also prepare them for the work force after being discharged. I wonder how many will start crying because they will be punished for not following orders? I guess we’ll find out. At least they will come out of the military as adults.
