  1. It’s sad that we live in a world where young men should even have to think about this. That being said, I have a nephew who can’t wait to sign up, very much against his parents’ wishes.

  2. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  3. … I mean or the other option is to stop the Russians right now in Ukraine.

    Just, you know. Laying the options out there, for the voters to think about.

  4. Just another load of fluff that will never happen, just to make people worry.

  5. Very alarmist and I don’t think it will happen.

    However it is exceptionally peculiar that a number of European leaders have come out and said “we need to be ready”. All within a fortnight of one another. I’d love to know why.
