Spurred by Trump turnabout, European nations debate conscription.

This will go down well. I don't expect the rest of europe to cooperate more than your average ukrainian
All the brave keyboard warriors with flags in their bios will finally get to live out their dreams on the frontline.

i appreciate you - also australian… fuck all this comment noise… i like our country the way it is and so do most aussies - the economic system is entirely irrelevant
it’s wholly ironic that there’s someone arguing that aussies are fascists when they’re trying to say their way is the only way and force their beliefs on you
