Why war won't work with Gen Z. You know, they say every couple of generations, one generation is bound to experience the most life-changing events in history. And so far, it's looking like Gen Z is fitting the boot. Oh, no, no, no, no, you don't remember September 11th. I do. I do. We had September 11th.

We had Y2K. We had the internet. There was the president getting his dick suck. That was a pretty big deal. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 Uh-uh, no, no, no, don't even Don't even say that That's a little bit of an exaggeration

But can you blame me after all the things we've had? Most of us were born around the time Or after one of the most devastating terror attacks In modern times happened We saw our parents trying to keep their sanity During the 2008 financial crisis As soon as we stepped out into the real world As adults, everything decided to shut down

because of COVID in 2020. We've been having drills such as we're five. Okay, all right, I give it to them. I give it to them. Gen Z did get cooked by COVID. Y'all did get cooked by COVID and like millennials like we, I'm, you know, fucking 34, right? And so I had already been out doing shit with people for 10 years before COVID, right?

And so they did get spawned camped on COVID. In case a lunatic comes in and mows the whole school down. And now to add the cherry on top, we may be running back to draft and being. put on the war field. Excuse me, I meant you guys may be running back the draft on the war field. I just found out I'm highly on the spectrum, so unfortunately that means I can't qualify. Be transsexual. Good luck, future soldiers.

I'll give you all each a high five and you can have fun on the battlefield. It's crazy how Gen Z is kind of running back what millennials had. Because millennials had a war growing up with a terrible economy and had to worry about if they could even afford a house. But man, at least they had good music coming out. What the f*** do we have for these turmoil? Dude, I remember me and Cody and Jeff listen to this song. Oh my god. Listen to this song driving around Riverside in Austin. ...times.

Oh, Babu. I don't think I really have to explain too much what's going on. If you don't keep up with the news, you've probably seen the memes already about getting 360 no scopes on the battlefield. But the United States of America officially got involved with the Israel and Iran conflict and decided to drop three bombs on what they say is their nuclear sites. But of course... He got that wrong, but I mean, you know, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, but yeah. A game theory. All right, I'm sorry. I feel like I need to take these matters more serious.

Now, I'm not going to say too much of my personal opinion on it and break this down like a five-hour political podcast. I usually say and talk about things more on stream, so definitely go follow me on there in the second channel. But it's not surprising that everyone is scared online and doesn't know what's going to happen. You know, in the past, you usually didn't have a president tweeting that they bombed a country. Then posting a- And then congratulating themselves and asking for a Nobel Peace Prize all within 24 hours. Oh, PNG photo of the American flag right after? This is definitely the worst time to be the ripe age of 18 to 25 because we go on first if the draft happens.

I think it's the opposite. I think Trump is so fucking crazy that there's no way somebody would want to start a war with him. He's so unpredictable and so crazy, nobody wants to fuck with him. Because they don't know what he's going to do. High school class of 2025, you only got a couple of seconds. Wait, I would not fuck with him at all.

I've been thinking to myself for a while. in a hypothetical, unlikely scenario of them actually doing a draft? The government doesn't... Do you ever... You think about like this. If there's ever a crazy person that's having a situation, you always want to act like that you don't even see them. That's what they do.

This is the wrong kind of dice. These aren't casino dice. Usually the one should be on the opposite side of the six. These dice are messed up. You guys see that? These are Timo dice, yeah. Like I taught myself how to drop dice Whenever I was in high school

And so like I know how I know how to do it right Yeah it's Realized that It would not be the worst generation Gen Z has got to be the worst generation For them to try and get on the war train with them And this isn't even mentioning about all the femme boys and furries we got Not even talking about how half of us are either

No, nah this shit's fake This shit's fake he'd be rolling Now if this was downhill he would be winning. One of the main reasons I think war wouldn't work with Gen Z is because the propaganda age of America is officially dead. And not just America. No, it's not.

And I think that I see what he's saying. I get what he's saying. But at the same time to say that the propaganda age is dead, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the propaganda age is so good now that you don't realize that you're in it? Okay, any country that has some form of free press is absolutely cooked. The reason why people back then were so patriotic and would do anything to be in the army in war times. You had kids who were in high school lying about their age so they could serve in the army

was because so many people trusted what the politicians said and how the media said things. Politicians were treated as saintly figures that would never do... He's a young guy. I get it, right? I get it. This is my take. Like I'm probably about like 10 years older than him. I don't think that's really true. I can see why he thinks that because like I think that a lot of guys my age probably have a romanticized viewpoint of politics

from before we were like really adults but the reality is that this has always been the case and I think honestly the real reason why a lot of guys went to went to war after 9-11 is because we got attacked right we got attacked and it was from an ideology that was so diametrically opposed to America that it was able to mobilize the entire country.

Like, the entire country after 9-11 turned into helldivers 2. It turned into super earth. It was insane to see it happen. Too bad for the American people because why would they? They sit on podiums and do cool speeches about us fighting for our democracy and freedom. And now we look back as certain conflicts America got in. Yeah, you've got to keep in mind that, like, my dad talked to me about this a little bit because the fact is that, like, uh,

Like Ronald Reagan was also seen as a joke whenever he first ran for president because he was also a former actor. And so people didn't take him seriously either. I realized that there wasn't no point in us being there. Hyper simplistic view from this guy? It's not simplistic. He's a young guy. He's giving his perspective. I'm giving my perspective as an older guy. And there's no, there's no hate at all. Like this is the way that he see things.

There's nothing wrong with this at all. Almost nobody nowadays thinks that Vietnam War was something America needed to get involved in. And it's crazy. The number one... Well, they did at the beginning because of the Gulf of Tonkin, which was turned out to be a false flag. And, you know, that's never happened before. And anyway, there was that, and I think that there was one other thing that happened as well. But the real turning point, according to my dad, who, you know, my dad was into Vietnam War,

is that, you know, he said that, like, the big turning point was like Walter Cron. you know, basically saying like, what the fuck are we doing in the war? I've always had the viewpoint. Like, I think a millennial, like, version of his take on politicians is that the media used to be unbiased. I don't think that the media was ever unbiased. I just think that now with the internet, we have the tools to triangulate the lies.

Superpower for military in all things. Lost to n-h-that-we're setting up a loony-toon ad, traps in the ground. Yeah, they had the, Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, my dad told me about this. He see people fall in these. Yep. They call them my punchy pits or something like that. Oh, bear trap. Also, the Iraq war is universally seen as a dumb war that shouldn't have happened by people now. Like, even Trump and Obama agree on that. That's probably the only thing they agree on. The reason is why- And also the Iraq war was just funded, uh, this is, I think that the Iraq war,

like the, like everything after the initial response to September 11th, was the military industrial complex at peak performance. Like, there's a reason why Metal Gear Solid got so popular after that. On Twitch? Because it was so much easier to push propaganda in the past. Like, in the Vietnam War, they were playing deep... I'm a real big fan of Hassan. How did that happen?

Okay, anyway. I don't know what that was. I was like, wait, where's Nick? Okay, anyway. So much easier to push... propaganda in the past. Like in the I don't I completely disagree with this. And I think that like my my opinion is that this is

the same viewpoint that I think that a lot of us had whenever we first got on the internet and we first like became adults. We were like, okay, propaganda's over now. But the reality is that propaganda has changed. And I think the best example that you can use for a lot of millennials, is the kid joking?

No, no, he's just giving his opinion on it. There's nothing wrong with that. It's like, remember what happened after Occupy Wall Street. I think Occupy Wall Street was the last genuine grassroots campaign against genuine oligarchy in America. And right after Occupy Wall Street is when all of the identity politics got turned up to 11. And I think the reason why is because I think this was a top down directive. And this makes me sound maybe like a conspiracy theorist, but I think that it's true. I think it was a top down directive that was done intentionally in order to keep people distracted

from, you know, again, like these people, they don't care if you're white or black or anything or a woman or anything like that. These are people that are like living in luxury private planes. They view all of you as just like second-class citizens. It doesn't matter what your skin color is. Everybody is like that to them. So, yeah, that's it.

And tone policing, yeah, exactly. And so that's what I think. And I think that's the most noteworthy tonal shift that's happened. And I think another great example of, modern propaganda is COVID. I think the way COVID was handled is probably the best example that propaganda is in full swing. And propaganda will always be effective.

The reason why propaganda will always be effective is because people want to believe what they agree with. So you're working against a person's biases, which are almost impossible to overcome. They were playing TV ads saying this was all about freedom and nothing else. Yeah. And it adds out the newspaper saying the only way to be a man by getting drafted to war. And at the time before social media, everyone basically believed it because that's all. No, it's not true.

That was what they thought in Sparta. That's what they thought in Greece. That's what they thought in the Ottoman Empire probably. I don't know enough about them to be sure about that. That's what they thought in probably ancient China. That's what they thought in feudal Japan. Like in Rome. Like this is, this is, like the entire idea of a men's initiation ritual being somewhat violent and sometimes combat oriented is something that is a tale is all this time.

Men's violent men initially initiation rituals and combat being a right of passage of being a man. I mean, Genghis Khan. Yeah. And by the way, it's, that's still the case now. That was shown. There wasn't anyone with major platforms that would go against it because they would. get censored. And everyone watched media through a few news channels, which are all. This is, I think that, I think this is his opinion because he grew up with this. He probably saw

a lot of people get, people forget this, but there was a lot of pro-conservative censorship during the Iraq war and after September 11th for anyone who was questioning the way that we were responding to September 11th. And so maybe he remembers a little bit of that. Like he seems maybe a bit too young to, but maybe he does. And so I think that's, also another reason too, but like it was in the past now, so people usually forget about it. Big time? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'll say the same thing. During the Iraq war, though, that's when you first started seeing people actually start speaking up about things. Saying, hey, maybe going into a country and

murdering innocent civilians and committing war crimes isn't a good thing. Just maybe. That wasn't the reason why people were mad. The reason why they were mad is because, I mean, we helped Saddam Hussein. Like, we worked with him in some cases. So, like, I remember, like, Saddam Hussein was almost surprised that we attacked him. Also, Saddam Hussein, any war crime that, like, you know Saddam Hussein had a mustache the way he did as a way of honoring Stalin, right? I mean, the dude was fucking insane. Like, if you think anything that the U.S. does, at least officially as bad, you should look at what Saddam Hussein did. That dude was nuts.

Like, he was a fucking, he was an Old Testament kind of guy, okay? media was still in its baby faces at the time it was going on so there was still a lot of enthusiasm for it but now with gen z we grew up in the most free era of social media no one would go because everyone would know it would be another lie that the government is doing and in military's numbers have already been dropping more than ever people have been making fun of it this is so this was true but it's not true anymore uh now during Biden military enlistment was extremely low but now it's actually gone up massively. It turns out that when you make the leader of the military a guy that works out that is, you know, in shape and that has tattoos of the Crusades on his arms, military enlistment goes up. I wonder why. Well, maybe because whenever they were wearing the shirts with the fucking crusades on them,

back 1,500 years ago, wherever the fuck it was, they were doing that then too. Yeah, how weird, right? again like the military like military service is very much a masculine thing obviously women participate in the military and they can be valuable parts of the military but it is primarily a masculine role and so when you have masculine role models and i think that trump and you know pete hegeseth etc and that whole group is much more masculine coded than Biden and kamala harris absolutely it's not even a question so yeah it's our sport yeah women shouldn't go to war I think women can play a great role. My grandmother was a nurse in World War II, and that's how she met my grandfather, who was a pilot in World War II. So I disagree with that. I think women can play a role in war,

but that role isn't on the front lines. Because they'd be trying to recruit soldiers anywhere they can now. They've been seen at anime cons. They got whole Twitch channels now. They even got them at NBA games now. I'm not going to lie, if I'm watching my Glories King LeBron putting up 40 points in a military,

military sergeant comes up to be like, Hey son, this game sure is great, right? Have you ever thought of the game of? Well, this is all, no, no, no, no. You want to know where they're really recruiting at? Working class high schools. How many of y'all had the Marines there and they had the pull-up bar

and they were like, son, do you think you can do 10 pull-ups? Yep. For your country? I remember me and Cody did it for sure. Fuck on my face, bro. I'm watching the Bronx. Even if there was a chance. That's the main way.

When we were rightfully defending ourselves from evil. The U.S. government has lost so much trust in the public. This is a great point that he's bringing up. And I think he's completely right about this. And I think this speech is probably one of the most mask-off moments for people to realize how much the American government is bought and paid for by foreign interests. And in this case, primarily is real.

These people were standing and clapping more than a seal at SeaWorld. It was embarrassing. I believe them. I don't know. single man I've asked in Gen Z that said they would actually go if they got drafted. Most n-h-ha-ha-ha. Yeah, that's what they say. But then after they go to jail for not going to the drive,

do you really think that they just wouldn't go? Like, you don't get a choice. This is the thing. I think it's a lot of young people believe this. Do you really think that you're the first generation to ever not want to go to a war? Come on. The prison time are fine, then go. And looking at it in the long run, it's not even that bad.

It's five years in prison max if you don't go. So it's either you get five years max in prison for not going and stay alive, or go and potentially get obliterated on the battlefield by a missile straight to the head. Hey man, I don't know about y'all, but I'm throwing a party in that prison for every day we're not in the warfield. I got a friend that's served in the military for a couple of years. And even he said nowadays he'd rather take the prison time. Also, the younger generation has realized we don't want to fight a war because I had a friend, a friend who was injured in the military for something that was completely

unnecessary and now he's a disabled vet. And so I think that this viewpoint and this sentiment's very accurate. Like, why don't you all fight it yourselves? Why got to grab the military equipment while you sit on a plane watching from above drink of champagne? They should host a boxing match every year for world leaders and whoever wins their country gets the most benefits for that year. Looking at her leader for now though. Who would win that? Maybe Joseph. of Coney. Oh my God. It'd be Coney 2028.

Yeah, we might be losing for the next couple of years if that happens. Also, growing up in this age, we've gotten exposed to how badly these war injuries leaving. Yeah, even though a dude's like 60. This right here might be the sole reason Genzi would never join in. There's always a chance you could end up on one of those. People in war or lose body parts I didn't even know what's possible to lose. The day I'm at war and they try to obliterate my meat, the whole place is getting torn down. They should have tried to stop those images from coming out because who the hell would want to potentially get involved in a war after seeing pictures like that?

And it's crazy because... I think you really would be surprised at how fast people can publicly turn and be warlike. It was really surprising. So, like, a great example of this is Pearl Harbor. And this is, again, me speaking from secondhand. Because, you know, I'm telling you what my dad told me that, like, you know, his grandfather told him about it and everything, is that it's actually, incredibly easy to manufacture consent from the public to go into a war.

It is. And the moment that you think that it's not easy is the moment that you are now susceptible to it becoming even easier. What happened at any moment to you on the warfield? One day you're chilling in the breezy weather of Iraq in... I don't know why he did it. I don't know why both did it either. You look to the right and see a man with 20 Cc's of C4 strapped to his chest

running to you at Usain Bolt's speed. Now you end up looking like two-faced back at home. I'm not sitting here and saying all of America's wars were unjustified, though. Like, I always appreciate the veterans out there who fought because most of the time, even if the war ended up being unjustified, a lot of joint to fight for justified reasons. I think that's a W opinion. Is that like I respect veterans, but I don't always respect the reasons they're veterans, if that makes sense?

Like, I'm not a big fan of, you know, the Iraq war, but if some guys in Iraq veteran, you know, respect for that. told and then felt bad when they realized it was a lot. And also for World War II, America was justified in a lot, like, let's be real, mainly making sure Adolf didn't end up owning the world. But like I said... Well, keep in mind, so Adolf Hitler actually had a tremendous amount of support from people in America. It was a massive amount.

And in fact, if you look at JFK, for example, JFK, the president, said positive things about Hitler. So Hitler being seen as a universal evil in... in America is actually not true. Henry Ford historically, I think is probably another great example of that too. And, you know, you had other people the painter. Yes, yes, really? Yeah, yeah. And obviously, I'm oversimplifying this. So like a couple of details might be a little bit off. But basically, after World War I, America had a very strong isolationist policy. It's kind of similar to how we are now because we were fatigued from World War I because so many people came back from, at least at that time. It's PTSD now, but back then it was shell shock.

And so we had a very, very isolationist perspective in America. And it didn't really change until Pearl Harbor happened. And again, like, I think that Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack on America because Japanese, what do you call it, officials, not officials, dignitaries. I don't know if that's a correct word or not. We're going to meet with FDR, you know, that was the president at the time, and he didn't meet with them because I don't know entirely about this, but my understanding is that a sneak attack would have galvanized the American public in order to engage in World War II, because the government thought that, you know, like Hitler was an imposing and ambassadors. That's the, correct word that I was using. Not really a surprise, yeah. But like that's a FDR wanted to enter the

war because you have to keep in mind, the war started, World War I started two, started in 1939. And America joined the war in 1941. The invasion of Normandy, I think was in 1944. So in a lot of cases, like Hitler owned gold himself by trying to go into Russia in the winter, trying to fight a war on two fronts, et cetera. And so America played a very big role in World War II. But to say that Americans all wanted to be involved in World War II. I don't think that's really true based off of what my historical understanding is. We're isolationists before World War I. World One justified our isolationism. North America has no need to interact with the world due to our resources. Yeah. Well, yeah, I understand that. But like I'm saying after World War I,

we were also very isolationist. Yeah, sure. And so let's see here. What part of this? talking about stuff you don't know what what do i not know yeah what what do i not know do you is there a point of like any information about this that i'm getting wrong because if i'm getting if i'm getting something wrong let me know we'll see what happens i don't want to waste a whole lot of time with this so just just try and type something out or like let's move on then i'm cook yeah it's this is taking too long i'm just going to ban them uh anyway so yeah uh there's nothing you're not not going to say anything you don't you don't even know you're talking about. And so anyway, changing history facts now. Yeah, and also keep in mind,

you can look any of this stuff up and verify it for yourself. But yeah. And also, like, for example, this is, again, something that, like, I might be getting slightly wrong, but one of the most commonly spoken languages in at least Texas back in a day was actually German. And America actually did certain things in order to pretend like that wasn't the case, because they didn't want it to seem like there was a large contingency of people that were supporters of Nazis here. I think it's true. Yeah. So there's a lot of context to this that, you know, again, you know, my dad's older.

And so, like, he grew up in this, so he knew a lot about it and he told me a lot about it. And also, like, there's a lot of cultural zeitgeist that's lost in translation whenever you look at history through Wikipedia. And it's more important to listen to what people say and then corroborate different stories. stories. ... testified a conflict may be the trust is gone from the public. It'll take a real hard campaign to have the youth agree the government is totally not lying in what they're saying. And the president we have now is totally not a liar, right?

One thing I can promise you this, I will always tell you the truth. He don't even believe that himself. Do you see his face? He was probably holding back and laughed so hard in his mind. That's the thing that's most important. Well, they all say that. a person that the younger generation wholeheartedly trust. It's a reason why a lot of dictatorships completely man social media.

Because they can fully propaganda the younger generation to look up to the leader and they're all going to believe in them. Even having... That's true. He's right about that. Someone that they trust is hard, but having someone that the younger generation doesn't trust. Yeah, it's going to be damn near impossible for the government to try to get us on the war train with that. It's so easy. It's so easy. And I think that by thinking that it's so hard, you let your government your guard down.

Your view on Trump, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that most of Chenzi does not have a good view on him. You take a room of 10 of us, and I would say at least eight people are going to say they don't like him. And look, like... Not anymore. I actually think that a lot of younger people are becoming more conservative more quickly. And at least that's what trends show.

I've said in the past, I'm not even one of those... That's a Trump hater 24-7 and spends all day writing hate articles on him. But if you truly think the younger generation would fully be behind him... him declaring a war on another country, you're delusional. Bro, we just had a protest around the whole country against what he's doing. And because he's commanding... No, it's a very small amount of people. Trump also won the popular vote.

I think that a lot of people like this and a lot of things like this and consuming mainstream media creates a very one-dimensional perspective. Is that if there were really that many people who were against what Trump was doing, he wouldn't have won the general election and won the popular vote. Trump, I think, has gotten more popular over time. Like, he's been building up momentum ever since 2015. Like, he's more popular now than he was whenever he was first president. ...in-chief and can set whatever war policies he wants.

I would not trust what the fuck this f*** would implement. Like, what if he implements a policy where if your meat is smallest, you got to be the first to go because you probably can't repopulate the population after it drops from all the casualties? All of us would... That'd be good. That'd be... They'd get rid of all the women, right?

That'd be it. Like, I don't know if I can trust the man leading the war that says this on stage. Because they asked me what I do. And I said, I'm going to bomb the shit out of them. Imagine he forgot there was a couple of the soldiers on the warfield and threw one right in the middle of the fight. Also, I got to say that what do you think Genghis Khan said? Really? What do you think that Soledon said? what do you think that

fucking Harry Truman said well he said it twice actually in that circumstance yeah the entire time all of this what do you think Caesar said yeah every single time

Alexander yes Another reason why the younger generation wouldn't be motivated to join in is because we really got nothing to look forward to and have no hope for an American dream our economy is still from COVID and inflation is still going on. No one can get a job.

It's not fucked from COVID. It's fucked because companies exploited COVID. They use COVID as an excuse. It's not a reason. Job on the mainland already. And most of Gen Z ain't going to get a house in their lifetime. At least back then, when you fought a war, you had those things to look forward to. You came back and could work a shift as a cashier and buy a house in two years.

Nowadays, I, I, I, exactly. I think this is also a sentiment with older people too. and like older people also like have to deal with like student student loan debt too also and I think this is a very good point is that the social contract the social contract that is made between a young person in a society and society itself has been violated and it's been broken and I think a good example of that is that the you know go to school work hard go to college you're going to get a good job you can afford a house and you can have a good life that social contract has been broken in America. That started, I think, that it began in 2008. And also, like, the divergence really began in, like, the 1975, 1980 period. That's whenever you really saw productivity and wage labor, like, the wages that you got for your labor, that's whenever you really saw the divergence. But now, obviously, it's become much more pronounced. The law-boating, hardworking citizen the government will have your back used to be the message yeah exactly and now it

doesn't so he's right about that for sure instead of that you're gonna come back and have no work available to you probably still be living with your parents all the fem cells on twitter and ticot are gonna be laughing at the men dying on the warfield and don't count on the government to help you either after it's so sad to me that there's people out there that serve the country and helped keep it alive only for them to end up homeless with no help from the government and what world should homeless veterans veterans even be a thing, bro. We spend $880 billion on the military a year. Everyone who served in war should be eating good and kicking back for the rest of their lives. They did something that...

I totally agree, by the way. And I think this is what, like, this is why I think people get so angry about, like, aid to migrants and aid to other countries when we don't have, you know, like veterans in our country. Like, I'll tell you that, like, obviously I have a lot of friends that are veterans. And, like, I mean, my dad, the only reason my dad wants to go to the the VA in order to get disability is so he can fuck the VA out of money. He doesn't need the money. He would only do it out of the principle. None of us wanted to do when the politicians and then got the shit end of the stick. If I was them, I would take back all of my service and stay my ass on the mainland. The government

has tried to write those wrongs. And also, I think that I'm surprised he's not bringing this up because he's younger guy, so he's probably more in tune with this. But another really big reason, why young people join the military is because of the GI Bill. Like my dad used the GI Bill to go to college. I had a number of friends that went to war or they joined the military. And this was during the Iraq War. And then, you know, the following, you know, just, you know, indefinite length, war on terror. Is that, and this is, and that's, by the way, that's the reason why they would go to those

working class high schools, because those working class high schools were the places where the people couldn't afford to go to school. So if you weren't in top 10%, if your family didn't have a lot of money, if you couldn't apply for a scholarship, you would be able to go into there. And so you had a lot of people that did for that reason, too. College is now a scam.

Yeah, and you can see how there's a confluence of instances that are coming together as a way out. Yeah, and there's also, like, for example, like we always think about the military as like, you know, shooting a gun and like, you know, killing terrorists or something. But there's also people who are in the military that are medics or their mechanics.

Like, and those skills are translatable. Like, I had a friend who, you know, like one of his other jobs, you know, he was infantry, he's Marine, obviously. But so, of course, he, you know, like saw a bit of combat, et cetera, very, very minimal amount, but he did see some. But he was primarily a mechanic. And he got out of school, or sorry, he got out of the military, and now he's a mechanic professionally.

It's for people, but you still end up with people who got left behind it have nothing after. The only reason why I would even join, to be honest, is the benefits. I just have to sit there and pray that a war doesn't actually happen. Because for real, I'd only want the free insurance of vacations. The warfield is a different conversation. I'm going to have to take my prison time for that game. Anyways, that's going to be it.

For anyone in Gen Z that's actually worried about a draft in war, I'm going to let you know right now, there's about a 95% chance no draft happens. Like first off... I think there is a nothing ever happens argument, but I don't think nothing ever happens because of young people, not being willing to go to war. I think it's just simply because there's not really a reason,

like with the amount of technology and tools, like, and resources that we have now, going to war with like troops on the ground, I think that's going to be seen in the same way that the cavalry was seen in World War I as antiquated, vestigial, and just simply not useful anymore and not effective. Of half of our paycheck if you live in the United States goes to the military. We spend $880 billion a year on the military and Iran spends a whopping $10 billion.

Their whole military operation would get wiped in like two nanoseconds if they actually tried to attack civilians. Exactly. Exactly. Like that's why I never bought the entire idea of, oh, it takes 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. No, it takes 20 years for you to make a billion dollars. The true reason why we don't have free health care. The last thing they'd ever want to do is let all politicians put their political beliefs aside and let Congress come together. And let Trump do whatever the fuck you want to do in a war.

It wouldn't matter if their allies got involved, which I don't think. No, Trump will always do whatever the fuck he wants to in a war. Obama did it and Bush did it too. There's no precedent that prevents him from doing that. And certain things I believe in the Patriot Act specifically, I could be wrong about this. so don't quote me on it, expand a president's wartime like capabilities and the way that a president is able to react to things without even having it be a war. Like recently, for example, like a president can respond directly to a imminent threat on the United States with military action without needing to consult Congress at all. And if it's ongoing for more than I think it's 60 or 90 days, maybe 30 days, then he has to get at a deprable.

approved by Congress, but there's ways around that. Just ask Obama. Yeah, war powers act. Yeah. They would have so much more to lose with Iran. Like, it wouldn't be worth it. Also, they wouldn't do it because I'm here. They know I don't play when I say leave us alone. Anyways, follow me on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. As always, I love you guys consensually. And until next time, I'm out. I think it's really interesting to hear a perspective of a younger guy about this. Because I think that like his perspective in a lot of cases, like I don't agree with a lot of the things that he's saying. in this video, but I think that Trump's live. Okay, give me a second. That's good, good fucking timing. All right. Well, anyway, I did, I did like the video and I want to hear one big

beautiful. All right, well, let me link you guys the video. Okay, guys, give it a like. All right? I know people disagreed with them, but I really appreciate young guys coming out here and giving their opinions. Even if it's something I might not always agree with.
