Discussion Thoughts on WWIII?

[ThatStateOfMind]

Do you guys think there will be one? If so, how do you think the countries will be split? Any general thought on the subject?

I'm bored and felt like this is an interesting topic which has been on my mind for a bit now.

I think I'm old enough to no longer have to participate in any draft that may happen but if it involves Taiwan in any way I might feel like I have to participate out of ethnic obligation.

Well, USA, Israel, and Germany are currently trying really hard to start WW3 by bombing Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. Then again, over 40 thousand people in Gaza died in just under a year, and that hasn't started WW3 yet. I guess Taiwan could become a reason for a world war starting if USA gets involved when China is trying to invade Taiwan. Which would be hypocrisy at it's finest, as USA sees no problem with the genocide in Gaza, and constantly sends billions of dollars, weapons, and air defence to Israel so that they can continue killing more people. I'm in my 20s so I'm still young enough to participate in a draft (it's not like age matters considering that the TCC in Ukraine kidnaps and sends 40+ year old men to their deaths), but I don't live in USA, so thank god that that won't be shit I have to deal with. Even if I was from USA, there's no way in hell that I would participate, I'd rather shoot myself instead of supporting a corrupt regime.

I have a feeling if it gets bad enough, they'll raise the age. It's currently 25, but I wouldn't doubt them raising it to 40 if they need to. Of course, circumstances would have to be very dire for a draft to even be considered. I've even heard proposing that women be made to register for selective service.

Yeah, that's my thoughts as well. We keep getting involved in other wars, Israel and Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, China and Taiwan (not exactly a war, per se, but you get the gist). I've never heard about the TCC, which makes sense as I am in the US and I imagine the media is keeping silent about it. If there were a draft, I probably just wouldn't show up. I doubt I'm alone in this either, as the older generations have consistently put down Gen Z, we're stuck currently with a bad housing market, stagnating wages, and living with the results of climate change denial since the 1980s.

Can't wait, I'm too old for frontline service but I can drive a truck so I'll get stuck in some rear echelon logistics role.
At least it'll break up my days a bit, if they give me a rifle as well even better lol.

The age for registration is 19-25. My frienf's job in the reserves is call people up and keep track of that stuff now in that event. IIRC you can't register after age 26, but the obligation to serve if drafted can extend until age 35. In times of extreme national emergency, the draft could potentially include men up to age 40 or older, again IIRC. Theoretically the government could dissolve all gender and age restrictions.

*edit: it comes in stages of priority by age.


*edit: per wiki, "U.S. federal law continues to allow for compulsory conscription for militia service under emergency or extraordinary security conditions. The law is described in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and 10 U.S. Code § 246.[5][6][7]Such conscription would apply to able-bodied men between the ages of 17 and 44 who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, U.S. citizens, as well as women in certain health care occupations."

Climate change started 10-12,000 years ago with the domestication of goats and irrigation of farmland, both of which led to massive desertification. (Areas that had port drainage would have salt buildup).
