All these draft dodgers posting lately


I'd 100% dodge a draft. I'd never fight for our countries considering there's a flood of migrants living out of our tax $. We can send them all to the meat grinders.

Could you explain what you mean by this?

The government pays for their accomodation, food and basic healthcare. In some cases even for their cellphones.

This is putting a huge strain on local budgets and has already led to cuts for their residents:

Having soldiers without American values is a surefire way to lose a war. Just imagine the low morale.

I know you read about this from Germany or wherever you are, but here in America it's hard to see how the brown people I drive past who are trying to find work at some shitty construction or landscaping job are living off the government dole.

I literally linked you an article from an American local newspaper which goes into great detail about the costs the presence of these migrants imposes on its city.

Or, if you want a more "reputable" source, how about this article from the New York fucking Times in which they admit that one in five hotels in NYC is now housing migrants:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/25/nyregion/hotels-prices-migrants-nyc.html

Me not being from the US is completely irrelevant, as is your anecdotal evidence. If the tax revenue created by these migrants exceeded the costs they cause their host cities, then places like NYC, Boston or Denver wouldn't cut their budgets and cry for help from the federal government.

I understand that generations have already forgotten the struggle for the freedom of their own country, but maybe it is not too late to help another one that is still fighting, it somehow goes poorly on the forum, do something real. Zelensky wants you, 600 hryvnya a month, £4.50.


I'm glad you understand its about freedom, something of which you mockingly have little.

How long can you go to prison for criticising the SMO? :hail:

I mean we literally pay for them as taxpayers.
Take Minnesota for our local example. Anyone can enter the country illegaly, submit an asylum claim and never have it resolved. They are then eligible for Minnesotacare, Medical Assistance and Child Care Assistance. They can receive a drivers license, Minnesota Food Assistance Program, Family Stabilization Services and a few other state services. They can get local services and food programs. They are a handful of social services they can't get, mostly at the federal level like SSI and food stamps. But then there are also private funded programs subsidizing their housing but that doesn't really count.

Still the health insurance costs alone vastly balloon premiums for everyone else, an obvious effective tax

Hezbollah ‘fires first ballistic missile’ at Tel Aviv
Israel’s military said it was the “first time ever” that a missile fired by Hezbollah had reached the Tel Aviv area before it was intercepted by its air defences. It reported no injuries from the attack.
Israeli warplanes, meanwhile, pounded villages in southern Lebanon for a third day as part of ‘Operation Northern Arrows’, which Lebanese officials said has killed at least 569 and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.

The only question now is: will uncle sam get dragged into this mess? Cause iran has done everything in its power not to get the states involved. Iran/hezz benefits more from this back and forth style fighting and while the Israeli airstrikes have been effective, only boots on the ground will be able to permanently stop Hezbollah from firing missles at tel aviv.

Yeah Hezbollah really out there benefitting right now :thumbsup:

Israel is going to force Hezbollah into a terrible position for negotiation. Iran is not going to come to Hezbollahs aid and risk being wiped off the map.
If Iran goes to war with Israel openly, or the US the Iranian people are ready and waiting to overthrow the Mullahs, count on it.

Irans regional Shia sphere of influence is built on pillars of sand, and its rapidly collapsing.
