Russia is going to invade Ukraine and I hope it turns into the next world war

The world needs a correction and its people need a readjustment of their priorities. I wish all able-bodied men and women are forced into a draft in order to separate the wheat from the chaff. Only 1% of the United States have served in uniform this generation yet the entirety of the nation reaps wealth from its global power over the past 20 years. Of that 1%, only 10% have been sent to a combat zone during these past two decades. Yet 99% of the nation dares to have an opinion on something they lack the knowledge of yet speak as if they are experts in something they cannot even fathom. Those of you with opposing views may say that I am a warmonger or ironically call me some childish internet term with parentheses around its title. These same people would rather our adversaries gain world dominance and create greater suffering of innocent people if it meant they could live their lives in comfortable cowardice. They would rather sit down and ignore what is wrong instead of standing up for what is right. These are the people who have witnessed ISIS systematically murder Yazidis and Shiite civilians while smugly stating it isn't their problem. Yet they complain over trivial problems because their minds are filled with selfish, worldly consumerism. They gleefully cheer at the destruction caused by riots in their own country because it's entertainment for their side. They roleplay as patriots while wearing MAGA-sloganed hats and feel proud when a police officer abuses someone's constitutional rights as long as the victim isn't one of theirs. These soft and fat times have enabled the greedy, selfish, cowards to spread like a malignancy and infest our society with their divisive platitudes.

They are no different than the draft dodgers and hippies that evolved to become the despised "boomers" we know of today. They squandered their parent's goodwill and sacrifices and when their country asked them to do as their parents once did, they fled to Canada, pretended to be unfit for service, or used their parents' money to stay perpetually in college. These selfish cowards did everything they could to avoid recognizing the need to become something greater than themselves. When their country no longer needed them for the draft, they gloated with glee that they dodged it while looking down upon their fellow countrymen whom some gave the ultimate sacrifice. Today they are the grandparents and great-grandparents of the modern generation but act perpetually like children because they never shed their childish idea that the world revolved directly around them and that there is nothing greater than themselves. They are a generation of fools and proudly adorn their heads with jester hats in pink or in red without a care of how they are perceived because no one can be greater than themselves therefore anyone who disagrees with them is less than. Millenials hate them but for the hypocritical reason that they are exactly like them; selfish, cowardly, and only focused on worldly consumerism.

We as a society find it taboo to call these people cowards because we live in an age where only 1% of our nation serves their country. This active service is only meant for peacetime efforts and overseas operations. Russia is trying to take over Eastern Europe, threatening western hegemony. Ukraine is the door to Western Europe and if we allow Russia to step over its threshold then what stops them from raping the rest of Europe? If you believe Russia will merely request a regime change in Ukraine and then return to Moscow then you know nothing of Russian history. Russia pretends to adhere to the rules set out in the Geneva Convention while allowing its own soldiers to commit atrocious war crimes against civilians. They blow up civilian airliners, purposely target hospitals, and laugh as they use sledgehammers and shovels to decapitate Syrian Army deserters. These are the people you want to give our world power to in order to avoid a sacrifice for the greater good?

The world is becoming smaller every day. Every time the World Bank refuses to give a loan to a fledgling African nation, China swoops in and steals their port through a predatory system of loans. That port then becomes a monetary and soft power gain for China. When we pulled out of Syria, Russia stepped in and helped our adversary while also building themselves a permanent military base in the Middle East. Before we pulled our forces out of Iraq and Syria, Russia had no bases in the Middle East. Leftists, libertarians, and the far-right complain about the military budget, deployments, and military base placements around the world for their own selfish reasons. They cannot seem to understand that every time the US steps back, China and Russia step forward. There are no untouched power vacuums in global policy. Diplomacy only goes so far and when that fails, you either show your military prowess or lose soft power. War is inevitable with Russia and China and the longer we as a country hold off on this conclusion, the worse it will be for us all. We cannot be like the "boomers" and pass on this task to future generations until Russia and China become our military equals. Russia is China is Iran. They are all enemies to Western society and the longer we allow them to continue their proxy wars, constant threats, and annexations, the weaker we become because of it. War is the answer.

A lot of you will disagree with me and that is understandable because many of you are what I described in this post: feckless, selfish cowards who only care about making their opposing team "cope and seethe." You are the chaff just like all the Redditors you believe to be below you.

TL;DR: Blood makes the grass grow
