Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine
-
Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.
It's a fucking depressing state of affairs....
-
They are planning to make all public school kids take the test but not the private school kids. It will be for conscription. They will know where to throw your ass to make the meat grinder run better. That's the only reason for this bullshit
Believable, and on point for these fascists, but you got a source? OP does.

Ukraine is Russia’s Vietnam.
or Russia's Afghanistan

Just fail it so that you would need a waiver to join
Just don't ace it or every branch of the military will start harassing you at home trying to get you to join.

I fought my mom's mountain lion when I was in my early 20s. Had 20-30 pounds on that bitch. She hated men in hats for some reason no one ever figured out. Teased her a bit, looking her in the eye, on my knees on the living room floor, with a straw cowboy hat on.
All I saw was a tawny blur, ended up on my back with my long hair coming out in hanks. The cat ended up with my hat. Along with more of my hair.
I no longer have illusions against my chances vs. a possum.
I think you could take a possum. They generally forget they can bite while hissing. A puma on the other hand...

or Russia's Afghanistan
Afghanistan is Russia’s Afghanistan.

I mean, it's a fucking pointless, blood drenched meat grinder on both fronts. Like some kind of WW1 reenactment with the safeties turned off.
You don't need to be a fan of either side to want this nightmare to end. But since the people in charge have no real skin in the game (because they're sociopaths who are more than happy to see these populations sacrificed to their vainglory) the killing simply will not end.
If that simplistic and dismissive view is your take on the whole Ukraine defending their sovereignty against a foreign invader...
Then Doktor Jidanbo prescribes you with less Fox News consumption - as 9/10 dentists say it clouds judgement.

No, childhood obesity is way up since then.

It's not that she didn't like men in hats, she just preferred Men Without Hats.

Ukraine defending their sovereignty against a foreign invader…
Wasn't Donetsk in the grip of a civil war, during which ethnic Russians were being bombed and gunned down by Ukrainian militias? For six years?

According to this article, project 2025 doesn't do that. It proposes requiring students to take the military ASVAB test. Which honestly isn't the worst idea. In my high school they recommended people who didn't know what they wanted to do for a career to take it even if they weren't going into the military.
Huh... They made all of us take it.
But I went to school in a rural red state in the mid 90s. -
Doesn't that just make it easier for the US to conscript people?
It's a 3 hour aptitude test. Are you good at math? Are you good at electronics? Etc. I would imagine it's a minor speed bump to joining the military.

glad you picked that up haha

Private schools don't have to follow the same requirements as public schools already. The person above you is just inferring that since they're already separate in the current system, the new ASVAB requirement would also be separate. But until it becomes an actual law, it isn't super useful arguing hypotheticals in this context.

I call bullshit on them being Russian.

I have a friend who insists he can defeat any animal in a fight as long as he has enough size advantage and lay on the animal and pin it down. He has apparently never seen a cat, much less a chimp.
This makes me think of my nephew who is convinced that a dog like a Cane Corso or Kangal can take on a bear 1v1.

No, childhood obesity is way up since then.
Fat people can still fly drones and kill political enemies

Where are they from then?
Ethnic Russians from the Moscow area are not being conscripted at the same rates as minority groups from the poorer areas of Russia.
