Do as I say, not as I do
-USA Foreign Policy
The USA are quite clearly using Europe as a proxy against Russia which is yet again checkmark for their Europe destabilization project. If you’re not sure about the latter, please consider subscribing to read my important article on the truth in Ukraine!
The USA themselves however are in a tough situation. Presidents with such a low approval rating as Biden has done one of two things; resign or start a war. If the former seems unlikely, than we should expect the latter; but, where are they going to get the troops? Do the American people wish to beat the war drums again?
With military recruitment at an all-time low, the entire notion of the “all-volunteer” force that has kept us safe for 50 years is in peril. Research by the RAND Corporation reports that “propensity [to enlist is] hovering around 13% for the general youth population aged 16-21.” During World War I, citizens were literally fighting, cheating, and lying to enrol in the war to fight for ones’ country. One thing that both Democrats and Republicans can agree on is that Generation Z and the military are not seeing eye to eye.
In addition to Ukraine, we also discuss what is fuelling the push for more and more migrants in Europe and United States in the Premium Subscription service (under Membership Levels).
Tim Kennedy, television show producer, UFC fighter & former Green Beret has been quoted on Joe Rogan’s podcast years ago saying the following: “Special Forces specifically, we are gonna have the biggest deficit of eligible population, to select from. You have to have a certain level of intelligence, a certain level of physicality, just to be eligible for Special Forces to pick you… that pool is the smallest that has ever been in history.”
From the Washington Post: “The Army’s new campaign of “Be All You Can Be” successfully taps into Z’s desire for self-betterment. It accurately recognizes that a prime driver for service isn’t patriotism or idealistic thoughts but rather a pragmatic gain made via investment in one’s career”
The military is nothing to do with individualism and “career-progression”. It’s the highest stakes of all–life and death with significant inhumane trauma a long the way. A militaries’ success is derived from it’s collective discipline, focus, strategy and support for the person next to you. Trying to recruit from an angle of “be your own great military” is doomed to fail. I cannot find any promising statistics to show that “woke” is working for military recruitment, but it continues anyway…
The approach as of late is not about patriotism or nationalism, it’s purely an exchange of services. The young man or woman exchanges part of their life in service to the corporate military and in exchange he/she receives education or a small stipend to gain an edge in the marketplace. That young person can go onto exchanging another 4 years of their life so that one day they might retire with a pension worth peanuts. This extension of dystopian corporate America may work for retail, it may work during peacetime but not during times of conflict– and Uncle Sam has a hard-on for conflict.
I recall when the latest Top Gun was released, the US Air Force stationed outside of the theatre looking for recruits who were inspired by Tom Cruise’s pulling ‘7G’ barrel rolls. I wonder if the army did the same after the latest Captain America & the Space Force did after Star Wars.
And let’s be honest–if someone is motivated by neo-marxist ideologies or wishes to flaunt their race or sexuality to join the military (you already know what type of person I’m talking about) are they the best fighting force that USA has to offer?
Bad Numbers
The US military are desperate for recruits. Latest figures show that 76% of the American population would be ineligible under current military standards (which have been declining) given ONLY their weight, body metrics, criminal history or drug usage.
If you haven’t seen Russian military recruitment ads, here you go:
For year end of 2022, just the Army, missed their recruitment mark by 20,000 people–more than the population of the Cook Islands. For 2023, the army will fall short 10,000, the Navy short of 7,000 and the Air Force short 10,000 as well. Even if we go back pre-9/11 and compare to the lowest point in 1987, the number of active military personnel are down 39% from this point.
If we go back to World War 2 (after 1944), the United States Army had 4 five-star generals (there’s only ever been 5) and 13 four-star generals. Now, the US Army holds 16 four star generals, no five-star generals and a staggering 46 three-star generals (just the army). These positions have increasingly been politically driven as opposed to military-oriented. Experience takes a back seat to time served.
All of the Navy Seals who had been present in Iraq and Afghanistan had been trained or reported to senior leaders had Vietnam war experience (the last Vietnam fighter retired in 2005). However, the seniors replacing them in 2006 (who were junior officers during peacetime) were too senior to get into the fight in the middle east, leading to an entire generation of “Paper Generals” given their birthdate and the date of the wars. This would be rectified as the current Captains and Colonels “move up”, however that’s as if you can keep them in the military.
Only 43 of an amazing 8400 rejoined the military after they were all discharged for correctly refusing to get the Covid-19 shot. This is in spite a 15,000 dollar resigning bonus– single digits in the Navy returned after their discharge.
I believe that study shown above is that American voters believe it to be a real problem–but they’re not willing to do anything to change it speaks volumes. With the exception of huge monetary spending (on top of the already trillion dollars in the budget this 2024) to attract people, the American military is simply not prepared for a long-lasting fight.
The USA is a war machine that has been growing old, inexperienced, overweight and lazy. They have told too many lies and abandoned too many service veterans. Their most capable are failing to stay for the long-run due to short-term political endeavours and scams perpetrated by the central planners of the world. The political class has cried wolf one too many times and competent patriotic folks have stopped listening. This is to say nothing of the suicide problems amongst former military personnel either.
US citizens are far more likely to stomach some other country dying on their behalf “to fight the bad guys” than their own men and women. Presidential candidates who declare their objection to the war in the Ukraine receive hoots and hollers of support–Americans are growing tired of it let alone fighting in it.
If the Bidenistas need a big distraction from the elections, the economy, inflation, the expansion of government and police surveillance (& so much more), they need a war–but not by using American troops.
Where am I Going With this? European Pawns
I hope to have painted a picture of a corner with the US political class painted inside. On one hand, the war machine needs to be lubricated for another major distraction from all the horrible things going on (or excuse for markets to crash), but they don’t have the resources nor the mentality to draw upon. They can replace the Bidenistas with more favourable political personnel but these are not types of people to relinquish power. In other words, if war is inevitable, the people will come from somewhere other than the USA.
Migrants? No. Recruits.
In my article of the Ukraine war, I mention the critical nature of mass migration to Europe (not in a good way)–at the same time, there are absolute scores of migrants entering the USA. But its wrong to think of these folks will integrate into society.
You heard it here first with On The Ball!
There is another article in our subscription-level that provides 4 ideas on why there is a concerted effort to bring millions of migrants from the 3rd world to Europe & North America. Click #StayOnTheBall above!
New York City has declared it a state emergency, draining their budget by a staggering $5B in 2023–now the number is up to $12B. It’s hard to think that someone is spending this amount of money without receiving a return on their investment.
Caravans from Panama are steady and large, where 3,000 a week enter either by walking or direct delivery with bus funded by various NGOs around the world. What’s noteworthy are a few different things. A) The clear majority of the economic migrants are military aged men, few women and hardly any children B) Their arrival is clearly supported, organized and intentional; the migrants and the organizations are taking advantage of this prime time & C) They are not solely Mexican. Most of the migrants are from the Middle East, Africa, Caucasus’ and Central/South America. In other words, this can be thought of as an international selection of people–not just Mexicans looking to join their Tia and send dollars back home.
Genuinely countless heads all headed to the border, or headed to the border and granted asylum with many benefits (California pays every illegal 300 USD a month). I’ve come across a video showing a Spanish speaking man (likely mid-20s) who has been living in a hotel in New York for seven months (yep, 7) totally paid for by the state government and non-profit agencies–all meals paid.
With a friend I asked, what the hell are they going to do with all of these people? All I could think of was the economic strain that this was going to bring about… My friend quickly suggested, “They’d be good for a war…”
Wanna be American? Die first & then we’ll work on your Green Card
Now this is purely speculative but this is exactly what has been done for years all across West Asia and Africa. They train local forces to fight a battle for them & then let them loose. Of course it ends up terribly due to the fact you’ve just taught someone how to kill effectively. Plus these have completely different views of the world and are motivated by money, not by American ideals. Mercenaries form, terrorism ensues and countries are destabilized. It really is a bad idea–but central planners have no shortage of bad ideas and if the last 3 years is any guide, they aim to create as much havoc in the world as possible.
Wars are immensely profitable for a select few who play their investments right and seek regime change & control. This hasn’t changed and will not change–but in order for the American public to be pleased and the puppeteers to continue the show–they will expend their European & migrant pawns forward. To use a chess analogy from their evil perspective, sometimes it’s okay to lose a pawn or rook if it means getting you closer to the prize.
