Ok do we have to worry on Iran or not? USA preparing to launch on Iran in Kuwait troops been send, also in Georgia prepared hospital beds and China with Russia telling that USA pushing to world war3.
Scary comrades.

and from tweets as well.
god damn it
I personally don't give a shit. Scaremongering as usual. There won't be a world war 3, and if there is, it'll be started by some crazed madman or by accident. Even George Bush wasn't stupid enough (/wasn't allowed) to be that batshit insane to provoke a nation that mattered on a geo-political level (namely Russia, China or India and Pakistan!).
Are you sure about that? Stammer and Tickle around Russia is missales and Russia don't like this, is treat for Russian security.
So sounds some attacks can be.

RT like the Russian Fox news I don't think it's a reliable source.
Well RT seems anti NATO news but I never thought is like fox news. What about Guardian wrote USA troops deployed in Kuwait.
my bets are 50/50 the strait of hormuz will see a gulf of tonkin incident this year.
i am stressed about it though. its just... stupefying. it feels like its been months but its been barely a month since drills took place and obama signed new sanctions/ndaa into law. but, the EU hasnt signed an oil embargo/central bank sanction yet and asian markets apparently 'rebuffed' efforts to not buy iranian oil.
its just a bunch of fuck thats going on right now.
i guess one question, if war did break out, would the draft be a possibility again in the US? assuming it turned into a broader war?

i think war with iran alone would be a very poor move for most of the us political establishment. combining that with a draft would be more or less a suicide move. they remember vietnam

Yeah I think it's just a sabre rattling contest, Iran is trying to act unexpectedly and to piss off the US but they can't risk a war, and they know that they can't win a war without major support from Russia, China etc. the likes of which the US can't risk upsetting too much either
The biggest risk is Iran disrupting the flow of oil by sending its submarine fleet into the Arabian Sea to hunt oil tankers, and oil tankers are much much larger then during WWII, where then tankers were only around 10,000 tons back in WWII while today tankers are around 300,000 tons.
id honestly snap if i got called up. its the only way i could see myself reacting to that.

I once believed that we wouldn't see an attack on Iran at least within 10 years, but it appears that the bourgeoisie are getting ready to scale up an assault against Iran. I'm not sure that Russia would come into defend them, as they don't really stand much to gain. China on the other hand gets cheap oil from Iran and would hate to see their partnership with Iran go after a US friendly change of power. But then again China might be willing to let go the same way Russia did Libya. Iran also faces a strong threat from surrounding countries. They aren't well liked by the Saudi's, the Iraqi's, and Pakistan might be wanting to improve relations with the US. I don't believe it just yet, but war with Iran is a definite possibility.

Don't worry: There won't be a revival of the draft -- ever
A couple of years ago, someone in the US military told the press that trying to draft and train young people these days would be way too much trouble, and I doubt young people represent less of a challenge to military indoctrination now, what with visible mass disaffection, even in the US. Plus, a draft would mean that thousands of middle-class parents would automatically orient towards antiwar activity. We would have a massive anti-war movement again, just like in the 1960's; an aroused petite bourgeoisie would do everything it possibly could to stop the war, before Chip or Buffy got their hair mussed.
Does the US really have the money to fight another war, given its recent commitment to keep GI's in Afghanistan for years to come? I doubt it. Isn't the US government broke? Isn't that why US post offices are being shut down, right and left?
Rather than drafting young people, imperialism is probably depending on the (apparently permanent) recession to drive them into the arms of the US Army, just to have a job.
And I really can't imagine the US committing to another, third, war in Western Asia, with a nuclear-tipped Iran. From what I read, there are lots of indications that US power worldwide is in serious decline. And I don't think the US government is eager to challenge another nuclear power.

If there does happen to be a draft, the most rational course of action would be to leave the country. I know that's what I'll do.
