China Raises Draft Age up to 60 Years Old
Armstrong Economics ^ | 14 Feb 23 | Martin Armstrong

Of course, China knows that the Biden Administration wants war. They are increasing their age limits for military service to up to 60 years old. Don’t get upset and think you will be too old for the United States and Europe. You can never be too old to die for your local politician. We will see the draft age rise dramatically in the West all because our fearless world leaders, who will never go to war themselves, all need World War III desperately. Just as we can no longer define what a woman actually is, we can no longer discriminate against women for the draft and it is also a matter of being fair to end age discrimination for the draft. It was Franklin Roosevelt who made the remark after going to great lengths to get the US involved in World War II. He said: “War is young men dying and old men talking.”

While governments play with the numbers, during World War I, the Great War, they asserted that the average age of dead soldiers was twenty-seven years old. However, more nineteen-year-olds died than any other age group.

The U.S., Military raised the limit for enlistment in June 2014 precisely when our War Model turned up with the Air Force raising the maximum age for enlistment from 27 to 39 years of age. The enlistment age restrictions for the Army, Navy, and Marines are 35, 34, and 28 respectively. The U.S. Army announced that they were increasing the maximum enlistment age to forty-two years old, and then the second time in six months after previously raising it to 40 years old.

The UK Ministry of Defence raised the enlistment age limit for its Army Reserve in November 2014 to 52 from 43, and for those individuals with specific qualifications or experience the age limit was raised to 45 up to 50. For World War III, combat forces will most likely be drafted up to the age of 40 or perhaps 42. After all, they claim that 40 is the new 20. So start with those pushups. Get used to it. You are expected to die for the Ukrainian Nazis and Taiwan neither of which would actually alter the future of the United States.

And by the way, women you will NOT be discriminated against anymore. They have already been talking about drafting women as well to satisfy Hillary who argued women can do anything a man does – from being president to dying on the battlefield. You better start having kids real fast. But you too will die for Ukrainian Nazis – what an honor.

My grandfather was in his mid to late 30’s with three kids and a wife when he was drafted to a non-combat position in the Philippines in WWII.

If his draft board knew of his age, his wife, and his children, he almost certainly would have been excused from military service.

But we're not doing that. We've been waging war on weaker nations, promoting hedonism, and sticking our beak where it doesn't belong; it's clear that our government needs an opposing force to keep it in check.

More like we have American led hegemony. The most important thing is the freedom of the seas. Our ships can trade anywhere in the world (well, maybe not in Somalia).

But we export some bad ideas. Feminism is one of them. Eventually, that will be our downfall. But we will probably last for a little while. The Romans lasted a couple of centuries.

Baloney. China owns Biden. All this is just optics to convince idiots that Biden isn't owned by China.

I believe he could have appealed but chose to serve. At least that’s what I was made to understand.

Wont work for either one of you; they’ll slap a set of BDU’s on your naked skin, shove a rifle in your hands and kick your ass out of a landing craft, helicopter, or aircraft.

You’ll either fight or just die!

With the neocon/dems in charge you won’t be given a choice.

I guess you could surrender but that might not be a real choice either, a lot of times in the field soldiers don’t have the time or resources to take care of prisoners, SO THEY JUST SHOOT’EM!

For the USA, it’s got to be the debt and the unfunded liabilities.

There’s no way to solve the problem.

What ObamaScare didn’t kill off in the first round, Covid-19 took care of much of the rest. /shiny side out

I absolutely agree. You can feel it.

It is going to be the culmination of the gnawing feeling many of us have felt for years.

I’m not happy to say that. But I’ve never seen anything like our current times.

A note to always read articles with a critical and discerning eye. In this case Armstrong is a convicted felon for scamming investors out of hundred if millions of dollars.

Heh, interesting you wrote that. If you’ve got the time, check out the first 15-17 minutes of this video - YouTube kept pushing for months at the top of my recommends - I finally watched it about 5-6 months ago (can’t be sure).

This sorta dovetails with your statement.


(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)

it seems you have the reading comprehension of a sixth grader.

“They need to topple the US military as a superpower by 2030”
- this is the stated goal of the WEF, the ‘they’ in the sentence.

“Deliberately going to pointless wars with country’s not being aggressive towards us is not responsible leadership”
- this is obvious and shows my stance against their actions

“We need these people gone asap”
- ‘we’ would be America and ‘these people’ would be the WEF and their cronies.

very obvious but too many syllables for you it seems.

You need to work on your writing when you post on a thread about the Chinese military and bringing ours down by 2030.

No, you are just unclear, largely because you are just blurting out undeveloped thoughts in your head without thinking of how little sense they make to other people.

Your post was gibberish.
