As the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, NATO countries are now simultaneously calling for conscription policies to be re-implemented. Chairman of NATO’s Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer spoke recently about the topic and urged civilians to get involved, stating, “Not everything is going to be hunky dory in the next 20 years.”
Countries like Germany, the UK, Finland, Italy, Ukraine and even the US are seeking to reinstate drafting as a means of further progressing World War III.
Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini recently announced his plans to invoke universal conscription, having started on a bill already which would mandate six months for both boys and girls.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius of Germany said in his speech given this month in Washington that “I’m convided that Germany needs some kind of military conscription,” and later added that the country made a mistake by suspending it at the end of the Cold War.
Other mentions have been made this year by UK’s General Sir Patrick Sanders as well as Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs.
At present there are 10 NATO countries which currently enforce conscriptions each year for a required time of military participation. These include Turkey, Greece, The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland among others.
While there has been opposition to these announcements, both publicly and politically, leaders seem to continue in lockstep with their plans to call upon young men and women to fight a war they didn’t want. As such, lawmakers in the US are putting forth a bill that would automatically register 18 year old men into selective service.
Giving the usual pretenses, NATO leaders attempt to stray from the underlying intentions by continually referring to life skills, education, and it’s “just in case” reasons for the new policies. However to anyone paying attention, it is a clear show of their cards. This takeover has proven to be more difficult than they initially anticipated, and they’re willing to do anything to make sure they get what they want.
