I would posit that is still the case, but can't do that AND be embroiled in wars.
Yup. Send them overseas to fight.
Then go after them when they come back.
But i don’t think it is going to work this time. The white men from flyover country will not believe the globohomo politicians that they have to “defend America” by fighting overseas wars.
They can try a draft, but that gets opposition from almost everyone.
The other thing is that this Regime is fragile, and incompetent. We saw in Kabul how they deal with a crisis, even if they have years to plan.
If they create an international incident to try to spin up a war, they are so decayed and inept that it might collapse the Regime, rather than manipulate the nation to support another foreign war.
