Those politicians want the draft because they crave for wars the citizens will not support

Hmm.... are you sure about that?

Since your source is wikipedia, this is from wikipedia.
Read thoroughly: before the invasions (from 2016 to 2021) 365 civilians were killed in Donbas.
Since Russia hadn't invaded yet, who killed those civilians?
I tell you: the Kiev government did.

That is what Tulsi Gabbard said to Bill Maher.


I mean...the elitist, empious, Satanic gangs that support both the Left and Conservatives (both, I can promise you that) are thirsty for the blood of American soldiers, that is why the draft is something they would love.

Thoughts?
;)
Your use of Satanic as an insult (simjlar to how you use godless) is noted.
Amd thirsy for the blood of American soldiers? As usual you are wrong about America.

Tulsi Gabbard is correct. Although I do disagree with Bill Maher on this, I do appreciate that he has people of such differing opinions from him on his show. Respectful dialogue on these issues is much needed in today's political climate.
Yup. I don't like Maher but I do like his show for the discussions.

Christians are dissed 24/7...let's say we are even. ;)
No, because as a Christian you are supposed to turn the other cheek and mind the beam in your own eye before pointing out the plank in anothers eye.
And Christian doesn't get used as an insult like you use terms like godless and Satanic.

It turns out words can be used...they are not violence. Violence and war are unchristian. Words of condemnation are allowed: and by the way, I used that adjective on the basis of the Christian meaning.

That said...you know, I have met several American soldiers on a NATO base in Sicily.
The idea that someone may have died in Iraq because of Bush drives me crazy. It's an unbearable thought.
I will never forgive Bush. Never. That war was absolutely stupid.
And we are speaking of hired soldiers. That's why the draft is even more absurd to me.

The ethnic Russians fled to Russia because they were persecuted by the regime of Kiev.
And the Russian servicemen are actually Donbas people who speak Russian. Separatists. :)

Whenever they are "dissed", it's usually when they're trying to curtail the rights, freedom, and equality of others.
It's perfectly understandable.
But there are Christians like me who won't take rights away from people (like the right to abortion).
So I understand that when you diss Christians, you are not talking about me, but about other Christians.
Same thing as for atheists: I am talking about other atheists, not you.

You might not, but you openly admire those who are the enemies of liberty and human rights.

Who said I was an atheist?

Years ago I didn't care much for Bill. Now I like him. The fact that he uses his show for discussions between vastly opposing individuals appeals to me. I think this is much needed in today's political and social climate.
