How would you feel if one of your beloved friends or family members ended up being drafted into the military to go fight alongside Ukrainians against Russia in a war that had absolutely nothing to do with our own country? What if you yourself were forced by the government to lay your life down for a cause that, frankly, was none of your business?
We’ve already watched from afar as millions of Ukrainian lives have been pushed through a proverbial “meat grinder.” Hundreds of thousands of Russians have also been laid to waste in this conflict.
On top of that, Ukraine has started conscripting teenage boys, 18, forcing them to the front lines where they end up being slaughtered. These are just kids. And they don’t want to fight in the war, yet they are being forced to by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Most people with an ounce of sanity and decency want to see this mess come to a peaceful conclusion. That seems less and less likely as radical leftists have transformed into bloodthirsty warhawks, both in the states and all across Europe.
These individuals have only one thing on their mind: beating Russia.
And now leaders in Europe are warning that should they join the fray, conscription will be necessary in order to have enough boots on the ground to fight the Ruskies. How terrifying is that for families all over the continent? Their children may be forced to join the military and fight in a conflict that shouldn’t be involved with.
No amount of money being thrown at this conflict has been enough to get the results the warhawks in Europe and especially in Ukraine, want to see.
For example, on Tuesday, Ursula von der Leyen revealed a brand new $840 billion program called “Rearm Europe.”
The European Union will free up $840 billion in funding to funnel into defense across the bloc, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday.
The new effort was announced just a few short hours after President Donald Trump put a halt to all U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
Dubbed “Rearm Europe,” the remarks from the European Commission’s president came hours after President Donald Trump suspended all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, widening the gulf between Washington and Kyiv and going against the fresh commitments of support from Europe for Ukraine in recent days.
“I do not need to describe the grave nature of the threats that we face, or the devastating consequences that we will have to endure if those threats would come to pass,” von der Leyen told reporters.
Again, money isn’t enough to win a war. They need soldiers. A lot of them.
Elections were recently held in Germany and the party that won the whole shebang is already pushing hard and heavy for the reintroduction of “compulsory military service.”
Germany’s conservatives, who are set to lead the next government, on Tuesday argued that the country should quickly reintroduce compulsory military service.
Friedrich Merz, head of the CDU/CSU bloc that topped last month’s elections, has argued that in the era of US President Donald Trump, Europe will have to better handle its own security.
Why the rush? Is there something the leadership of Germany are aware of that the rest of the world isn’t? It’s certainly strange to be in such a hurry to get the ball rolling on such a mandate.
An official with the British military who once served in one of the highest positions in NATO has stated that the United Kingdom should also be making plans for conscription.
A former NATO commander has suggested that Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Ukraine could lead to the reintroduction of conscription in the UK. Trump has shocked international leaders by suggesting that Ukraine is responsible for the intensifying conflict with Russia.
Adding to the tension, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth announced at a conference in Brussels last week that America’s focus was shifting away from European security. “(I am) here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe,” he declared.
These developments have raised concerns about the potential outbreak of World War 3, with NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Sir Richard Shirreff, considering the possibility of conscription returning to the UK. In a recent Daily Mail article, Sir Shirreff expressed his grave concerns: “Though many will find it unthinkable, we must be prepared to call up our reservists – and make plans for conscription. Trump has left us no other choice.”
Just imagine all of the young lives that will be laid to waste if the rest of Europe joins this conflict. So much promise and potential snuffed out for the sake of one of the most corrupt governments and countries in the world. I think it’s safe to say the cost is just far too high to be part of the Ukraine’s war.
Thankfully, Trump is trying hard to find a peaceful solution to the matter. Monday evening he put a stop to all shipments of weapons and ammunition being sent to Ukraine.
U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine came to an abrupt halt on Monday evening after President Donald Trump ordered a pause on all aid to the war-torn country, the Pentagon confirmed on Tuesday. After the order was given, all U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine came to a stop, as of 6 p.m. on Monday evening, according to a defense official. Planes carrying supplies en route to Ukraine would have had to turn around, the official said.
Essentially, the president had enough of the lack of cooperation coming Zelenskyy so he called his bluff. The Ukrainian leaders understands that without the assistance of the United States, Russians will win the war, thus he’s been forced to get on board with what Trump wants to do.
On Tuesday, Zelensky bent the knee and offered an apology for his intense meeting with Trump last week.
‘My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
‘We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.
‘Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
‘We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
With Zelenskyy on board, Trump must then turn his attention to Russia. And they are not exactly in a charitable mood. Unfortunately, all of the leverage to win the war rests in their hands.
The good news is that the president and those he has on his team are good at diplomacy and that’s the track they will take with the Russians. However, that could change if the Russians don’t give them what they’re asking for.
“The Trump administration is envisioning a very large force of European soldiers in Ukraine after a ceasefire is declared. The Russians are adamantly against this, and they have repeatedly stated that they will never accept western forces in Ukraine under any circumstances,” End of the American Dream reported.
The Russians are also not going to give up any of the territory they have gained through this invasion.
It’s a very tense and delicate situation. Please pray for our leaders and all those from other countries involved in the negotiation process to have wisdom and make good choices that will lead to a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
