  • Conscription is just being extended to women the way men have been conscripted for centuries. Usually quite few are actually conscripted as volunteers fill most of the needed positions. The conscription is to my understanding mostly about having a sizable part of the population already trained in a worst case of invasion. This is not really a change in that sense, it has been a gender equality discussion for at least a decade or two. The conscription period is being extended as well, which is probably a result of increased risk posed by Russia, the lack of confidence in the US. Conscripts are however not sent to any frontline so to speak. Of course if an enemy army were to attack a European and or NATO country in what would look like a new world war, that would change, but at that point we are all in a pretty bad spot either way.



  • One major problem is the way this administration is trying to end a constitutional law. If it works for one amendment it should logically also work for others. Freedom of speech? Well if Trump likes it you can have it. A right to bear arms? Well as long as you are not against Trump sure. The law becomes meaningless at that point. If the administration was serious about ending birthright citizenship, they would go through the process of a new constitutional amendment, not try to seize the power to override the constitution.




  • The difference is that Israel continues to terrorize people until they are forced out of their homes or simply just demolish them so that Israelis can move in tomorrow, in a year, in a decade and so on. If I throw you out tomorrow, would it be bad of you to say “don’t throw me out”? What about the day after? What about in a year? What about when it happe again a few years later? Is it too late to complain about the first time by then? Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed in areas they have lived in for generations, that is still happening. That is the main thing Palestinians asks for to stop.





  • There has been leaks that US intelligence are making moves to influence the greenlandic people using intelligence gathering to find pro secession and US elements in greenland. Any talk of the possibility of greenland joining the US as a real possibility only legitimizes an eventual takeover. Greenland has made it clear that they are not interested and that such talk is an insult and a threat to their sovereignty and self governance, current and future. I don’t think you mean to promote Trumps talking points, so this is just meant to let you know that it indirectly does.
