caitlin speaks of drafts, and military recruitment; 

 

Today in dystopia, war pundits have begun suggesting that the US could recruit sufficient troops for a ground invasion of Iran by offering young Americans debt forgiveness in exchange for enlisting.

I guess it was only a matter of time.

In an article titled “The war with Iran will not be won through airstrikes, so what’s left?”, the Jerusalem Post’s AJ Jaff writes the following:

“Recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of Iran would require. Estimates for a successful ground campaign against Iran’s 31 provincial commands and its Mosaic Defense Doctrine run between 750 thousand and 1.5 million American troops. The current active US Army stands at roughly 452 thousand. The math does not work, obviously.

“Based on American history, however, there is a path forward. Not conscription or a draft in a world war-era sense, but enlistment through a ‘debt forgiveness program.’

“The average American aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40 thousand in non-mortgage debt across student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates go as high as $100 thousand............more...........

Trump’s Folly:  The Cost to Americans and the World of Trump’s War for Israel

Paul Craig Roberts

The lives and billions of dollars are not the only cost.

Interest rates are rising in a  global bond selloff renewed by Trump’s attacks on Iran, which pushed oil above $91 per barrel.  Oil’s climb also pressured stocks globally.

Higher energy prices revived inflation fears and reinforced expectations of monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve, a pointless action as interest rates are rising on their own.  

It is clear that Trump is willing to inflict endless costs on the US and world economy for the sake of Greater Israel.  We are experiencing an American President harming his country for the sake of Israeli expansion in the Middle East.............https://paulcraigroberts.org/the-cost-to-americans-and-the-world-of-trumps-war-for-israel/

Muslims Are Positioned to Change the Correlation of Forces in the World. Do They Realize It?

Paul Craig Roberts

The Iranian conflict is going very well for Israel.  Israel has succeeded in turning the conflict into one between Iran and Israel’s proxy, Washington, just as Washington has succeed in turning Ukraine into a conflict between Russia and Washington’s Ukrainian proxy.  Both the Iranian and Russian leaderships are fighting tit-for-tat conflicts with proxies, not with their real enemies.

This works great for Israel and Washington as neither suffer military consequences from the two wars they have provoked.  Washington attacks Iran, and American bases and military personnel suffer the consequences, not Israel.  Washington attacks Russia, and Ukraine suffers the consequences, not America.  

I had hoped that President Trump had found his exit strategy from Iran when he announced a few days ago that henceforth the war against Iran would be conducted economically with sanctions.  But obviously Netanyahu has refused to let his puppet out of Israel’s conflict with Iran, as Israel itself is insufficient to carry on the conflict.

To remind, in the 21st century Israel has used its Washington puppet to absorb Palestine into Israel.  Nothing remains of Palestine.  Israel has used Washington in what Washington covered up as a “war on terror” to destroy three obstacles to Greater Israel–Iraq, Libya, and Syria.  Currently, Israel has its puppet, the American president Donald Trump, attacking Iran.

Netanyahu knows that Trump cannot tolerate defeat and that his frustration with US military impotence against Iran will likely result in Trump’s use of nuclear weapons.  .........more.........
