    LOL thanks for letting us know that someone can go snatch him up and send him to Iran as a bargaining piece.

      He’s the son of a Politician. They mature around 60 and reach that peak predator energy around 80.

    Controversial opinion: more young Israelis should do what this man is doing. They should say “lol fuck this shit, who wants to be fighting anyway” and move out of Israel. North American and European countries should welcome them with open arms. Anti-aliyah. Who needs a shithole apartheid bunker state anyway? Settlers move out, come live free from that shit and Free Palestine.

      OTOH, the children of leaders calling for war should be the first on the front lines.

        The more you say stupid shit like this the closer we come to a draft where Barron is sent to whereever the safest place near-ish the front lines is.

        You are sleepwalking into a draft and you should be ashamed for even suggesting it. Like, genuinely — you are a stupid, bad fucking person for hoping for a draft.

        Edit: Interesting how many troglodytes came out of the woodwork, and half of them are Canadian. When children, your children, start to die as a result of the world you’ve helped build — I will not let you forget.

          Drafting the kids of leaders first in any draft makes a draft less likely dude. No amount of deranged anger from you is going to change that.

          I think the point of the draft “thought experiment” they were proposing was to stop people from starting these wars and conflicts if they had a personal stake in it.

          There’s this NPR episode I heard where they said that the codes to the nuke should be in someone’s heart and that person carries a suitcase with a knife. To get the nuke, the president should plunge the knife into that man to do it. It’s absolutely horrific and bloody but to kill many from afar you should at least be able to do one up close. I think that the person that recommended it said he’d be the first volunteer and would love that job. He’d make best friends with the president and get to know their kids, just to make the decision absolutely impossible.

          I’d like to think that’s what they were getting at? Your response to the thought experiment seemed confusing at first but I think what you’re getting is that they’d just send the kids to safe areas of the war, rather than anything real anyways, right? which makes sense … politicians would weasel to get their own skin out. I’m not 100% sure why that’d lead to a draft? Do you mean in retribution they’d take it out on others and protect their own?

          Anywho, from another Canadian. ✌️

              it seems you have severe issues with reading comprehension, so I will spell out: the leaders are calling for draft, not that user. that user targeted these pre-existing leaders with their statement.

    Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!

    I dream of a world where whenever these ‘leaders’ and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

        They’re are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

          This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

          That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

          People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

          It’s not enough

            This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

            You’re dead serious. I’m joking. It’s not that I take the situation lightly, but it’s a blessing to behave so lightly in such a situation.

            That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

            No need for bets. I’m sure that’s what will happen. The elites know it too and they’re building secret bunkers to escape it. Currently they are stretching the divide and rule tactic as far as it can, by getting the ordinary men and women to fight each other. But they know that it won’t work forever.

            However, I must warn you. The results won’t be as clean and just as you imagine it to be. Angry people yearn for vengeance, not justice. It won’t stop until a lot of innocent blood is also spilt. That’s what happened in the French Revolution too.

            People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death. It’s not enough

            The same people won’t seek other solutions until a tragedy is inevitable. Whenever I speak a solution that can recover our economy before it goes south, the same ordinary people scoff at me saying it’s wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that it has been implemented successfully several times in the past as a measure of resistance.
