LOS ANGELES.–Former President Donald Trump, 78, voiced the obvious opinion that if current trends continue in the Ukraine War it would lead to reestablishing a military draft in the United States. CNN and other liberal networks fact check it as a “lie” because Democrat nominee Kamala Harris has not explicitly said that is what she would do. But if any NATO country, including the U.K. were attacked by Russia for expanding the war to use U.S., U.K. or NATO long-range weapons to attack the Russian homeland, that is precisely what would happen. It doesn’t take a psychic to figure out the mission creep in Ukraine where weapons were restricted to defending territory inside Ukraine, not attacking the Russian Federation. Ukraine’s 46-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky boasts about seizing Aug. 8 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory in the Kurk border region, refusing to get out.
Where do Democrats and the fake news think the Ukraine War is heading? Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated explicitly last week that the use of U.S., U.K. or NATO long-range weapons to hit deep inside Russia would be an act of war that would trigger Russian military attacks on combatants authorizing the attacks, including the U.S. and NATO. What more can Putin say to warn the world that the U.S. and NATO war strategy has gone in the wrong direction? Instead of heeding calls for a truce, ceasefire or peace talks, the exact opposite has happened. Kamala has made clear at her DNC speech and in the Sept. 10 debate that she would continue 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s policy of proxy war with Russia, but more importantly, allowing Ukraine to attack deep inside Russia. CNN says Trump’s claim about a future draft is a lie according to its biased fact checkers.
What does CNN and other oblivious fake news networks think is going to happen if Putin nukes Kiev or uses conventional weapons against the U.S. or NATO? Biden told a reporter yesterday to “shut up” asking a similar question about escalating the war to allowing Kiev to attack the Russian homeland? How would Kamala in a full-scale war with NATO and Russia supply U.S. troops without implementing a military draft? There are simply not enough troops in the voluntary military to handle any major war involving U.S. and NATO troops in Europe. Or, as Biden said in Sept. 2022, he would commit U.S. troops to fighting China in Taiwan. Where are the U.S. troops supposed to come from without implementing a draft? Yet the fake news think it’s a defamatory statement against Kamala to suggest that at an escalation to the Ukraine War would require a U.S. military draft.
Trump’s point in raising the issue at a rally in Nevada is to open voters eyes to what happening right now at the White House granting Zelensky the right to use U.S., U.K. and NATO weapons to attack the Russian homeland. Biden dismissed the reporter’s question about a draft before talking to 62-year-old U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, discussing at the White House the prospects of letting Ukraine use long-range weapons to attack the Russian homeland. Ukraine has already breached Putin’s red lines, seizing 1,000 square miles in the Kursk border region but hitting Moscow and other Russian cities with drones, apparently made in Ukraine. “We have no idea what he’s talking about,” said the Kamala campaign, about Trump statements about her military consultants discussing the prospects of a military draft. What does CNN think would happen if Russia attacks NATO?
Biden’s response to the reporter asking about escalating the war after Putin warned of military consequences tells the real story. Biden ignored Putin’s warnings for months before the Feb. 24, 2022 invasion involving 200,000 Russian troops. Now the Biden-Harris White House are kidding themselves that there would be no consequences if Ukraine starts using U.S., U.K. and NATO weapons to hit targets deep inside Russia. Biden said “he doesn’t listen to Vladimir Putin,” a crass statement either showing he’s not fit for commander-in-chief or repeats the same mistake as he did in 2022. Biden called Putin’s Feb. 24, 2022 Ukraine invasion “unprovoked and unjustified.” Yet Chinese President Xi Jinping said that Biden pushed Putin to invade Ukraine by military encroachment on Russia. So, when it comes to the latest provocation of letting Ukraine hit Russian targets, there will be consequences.
Trump has been warning about escalation of the Ukraine War for a long time, saying, if he wins Nov. 5, he would begin the process of ending the conflict. No one in the fake news that backs Kamala would do anything but ignore the dangerous escalation to the Ukraine War. Allowing Zelensky to start attacking Russian targets with U.S., U.K. and NATO long-range weapons would give Putin grounds to attack Western targets. Trump raises the draft issue to alert voters to the very real possibility that the Ukraine War is dangerously close to spiraling out-of-control. Trump wants voters to know Kamala’s policy of escalating the war and getting to the point where a military draft would be necessary. Biden’s proxy war has now morphed to the point that it could engulf the U.S. and NATO directly in the conflict. So, a military draft is not out of the question.
