WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of those as young as 18.
A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to help expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia.

Disgusting DC business.
BUTT OUT BIDEN!
We are witnessing a crime.
Makes good business sense, they are going to need a lot more guns if they do this.
If it’s good enough for Russia (and the United States when we are engaged in a full mobilization war), it’s good enough for Ukraine.
I was 17 when my mom co-signed me into the service.
BTW I have never been in favor of military entrance at 18. 21 is soon enough, and those three years teach a lot to a young man.
Old joke:
"When I was 18 I thought my father was the stupidest man on Earth. But by the time I turned 21, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in three years!"
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they’ve always done before
Look at the leaders we’ve followed
Look at the lies we’ve swallowed
And I don’t want to hear no more
“Civil War” by Guns N Roses
SOME wars are necessary evils.
This is just a WASTE.
And our “leaders” in the US and europe are monsters. Neocons are monsters...zeepers are, well, at the least incredibly misled.
8 weeks...God I hope and pray the world makes it until Trump.
Chaired by John McCain for 25 years. Funded in part by the NED which in turn, is funded by congress($200 million). A self lubed circle jerk. The NED fuels color revolutions.
My comment above (#6) is referring to conscription — getting drafted and sent to war. If a younger man wishes to enlist voluntarily at earlier age, that’s fine, presumably he knows what he’s doing.
“If it’s good enough for Russia (and the United States when we are engaged in a full mobilization war), it’s good enough for Ukraine.

Ukraine (and Russia as well) have a huge demographic problem. They are concerned that if they draft 18-year-olds that their catastrophic demographic problem will be terminal in fifty years. Putin has the same problem as he may have thought incorporating the population of Ukraine would make it less of a problem. The chart below shows the problem. And, realistically, this war is a catastrophe for both sides. But if Ukraine surrenders, then they will basically be slaves to Russia.
im no ukraine people fan bu ive always thought it odd draft age was so high if they serius bout fitin a war ai’ Russie. dont mos’ cuntrees draf at 18? we do. when we draff.
How about drafting all those who voted for Harris. They seem to be OK with the Ukraine war so why not?!
... and it’s hey ho, what are we fighting for? Don’t ask me. I don’t give a damn. Next stop is Ukraine.
The fact they braynes not fully developed at 18 is a feetcher not a buug.
Speaking of Zeepers, they need to be conscripted and sent there. Show us their true courage. Put their money where their big mouths are.
Vietnam
> he’s trying to get them to wipe out an entire generation of young men <
We are witnessing an exact repeat of WW1, only this time on a smaller scale.
It was about exterminating demographic brackets.
Plus, the plan had been to have a full blown shooting war between NATO and Russia by now.
What a disgusting piece of shit Brandon is. He has no regard for life. He can’t be gone soon enough.
White House and Biden’s bosses need to stay the H*LL out of this....
