Israel Declares War

Have you ever heard of the military term "blue water navy"? Why I ask is that it means that a nation not only has naval vessels capable of delivering a landing force large enough to invade a nation across blue water(Atlantic,Pacific) but also afterwards keep it re-supplied? Anyway China,Russia,Iran,North Korea ect. don't have true blue water capabilities as of 2023 and so would not be able to invade the US at this time(Russia's probably closer to it than others but not yet still)...Past that drafting unskilled troops into the US military would be next to useless other than for things like cooks,truck drivers,laundry ect. because they would need to spend years training them to operate the modern weapons systems.

I think that's generally the case with conscription. No actual military benefit (potentially a detriment), and everyone pays except those profiting from the war (usually bankers and politicians).

I think the retired Colonel McGregor used the term on one of his recent interviews - a really interesting and informed guy, if ever you get the time to listen to him. I believe he indicated China couldn't invade the US for this reason, but that the US capability to support Israel against Russia would likewise be similarly limited.

I think the attack on the US will be internal - the (UN sponsored?) troops have already arrived covertly (or not so much!) with Biden's open border policies - now they're just waiting for the green light to activate.

Just to clarify - the US do have a blue-water navy, but not large enough to support a regional war if Russia were taking it on, which would be likely.

The original question was: I wonder what would happen if a conscripting country was in a war, and those libertarians who are against conscription were not defended against enemy attack. Would they cry foul, desiring the benefits of being a citizen without carrying any of the burden?

The context had nothing to do with paying taxes, and it was not originally implied that a libertarian such as yourself would expect the government to conscript others as military slaves to protect you. Many things were added to the question/topic along the way but the question itself had nothing to do with any of those things.

The government tried to murder you? I have issues with the vaccine, but I do not equate a mayor, or a governor or a President with "the government". The ultimate authority in the US is the constitution, and there is nothing in the constitution that supports people trying to murder you. If a cop is bad, it doesn't mean all cops are bad or the institution of cops is bad. If a teacher is a pedophile it doesn't mean they all are, or even that schools are inherently evil. If a politician is a crook it doesn't mean they all are. As far as I am concerned that bad cop carries no more weight than a good cop and the good cops outweigh the bad cops, same with the teachers, and everyone else working for the government. I remember when the gays were fighting for political voice by claiming they represented 10% of the country. In fact they represented 1%. Satan is a liar and will always try to inflate his importance and influence. Even during the revolutionary war no one thought that the British government was trying to murder the American people. The fight was that they were being taxed and so felt they should be given a voice in the government as well.

Tell that to God and the Old Testament. When they were invaded they had conscription.

To me I think what D.A. Macgregor meant by breaking the phalanx was that things like trench warfare like you see Russia doing in Ukraine is like watching a WW2 movie instead of anything modern(after his time though he was in the Gulf War). Again the logistics needed to invade the US and support it over several months of real warfare is only capable as long as the US is allied to the UN. If you remove the US from the UN equation then the UN no longer has blue water capabilities.

What if the UN were allied to all countries except for the US? The UK, China, Russia, Iran, Japan, etc. They all have navies.

I would think that baring in mind that the two largest populations of Jews on earth are in the US and Israel that we would be describing the battle of Armageddon and that we should really examine things like Revelation 16 because that will happen after the beast,the image,the mark ect. are in the earth not before. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/16.htm

Keep it oh so simple, so as to once again justify "mowing the lawn" that is the what the Israelis government refers to killing people indiscriminately.

Amplified font doesn't make it true.

Have you ever read the proposals/plan was that a "No" I heard? Just what I thought.

And yet again to your wrong data in 2016 it was the Israelis government that refused the proposal.

Don't bother.

I don't read here posts.

Interesting that the comments bring more clarity and truth than the You Tuber.

Did you notice how the promise part of the Balfour Declaration was never held too...oh those backward poor Palestinians they had little or no rights but the British came to save the day and then gave the best land to Isrealis, yeah he forgot that part.

The Turks were not interested in creating nations they were interested in conquest.

We have British settler colonialism for the creation of nations with a mark of a pen I might add and here we are today on the eve of destruction.

I think that Psalm 83 describes the proxy war we are seeing right here.

This continues to get worse until Isaiah 17:1, Damascus becomes a ruinous heap.

That in turn leads to Ezekiel 38 war which is what we are starting to see with Iran and Turkey and a few African nations starting to declare they are against Israel.

Many think the Ezekiel 38 war refers to Israel being "unwalled and without bars or gates". I disagree, I believe that refers to the USA. When these countries go to war against Israel they will also attack the USA.

That happens six or seven years before Armageddon.

Do you work? Are you on any campuses?
Do you actually know any Muslim students?

Do you think the Muslims from Egypt are the same as Muslims from Saudis Arabia

Did I hear a "No" that is what I thought.

It is the countries in the UN calling for a ceasefire, btw, and no Hamas is not surrounded.

Netanhooo and his wifey are up on big corruption charges they do not want a ceasefire because his fragile coalition will come tumbling down and he will probably/hopefully go to jail.
