| Estonia PM Calls on UK to Reintroduce Conscription |
| 2024-04-05 |
| [Breitbart] Russia needs a stronger deterrence to stop its aggressive moves on mainland Europe and a UK reintroduction of conscription would go some way to foiling Moscow’s predatory ambitions, Estonia Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Thursday. Kallas made her call during an interview with the BBC in her prime ministerial office in Tallinn. Estonia’s leader since 2021 sees conscription as another integral part of both providing a deterrence to Russia but also stronger defence if it does attack. |

| #10 I can see all western nations bringing back a limited conscription to keep their military numbers up. I see the demand for 'social justice' and make up for hundreds of years of institutional sexism, draft women! |

| #9 Calling for another country to institute conscription in order to be ready to fight for you. I'm thinking you might be planning to bomb the wrong targets. |

| #8 It will be difficult to legalize drugs and still call draft dodging a crime. |

| #6 I can't think of a more certain way for politicians to lose an election than to reintroduce the draft, especially for purposes of waging wars of aggression in parts of the world where we do not belong. |

| #5 With dropping birthrates, more kids out of shape from sitting around playing games and eating junk and a general sense of being introverted from the newest generations... I can see all western nations bringing back a limited conscription to keep their military numbers up. |

| #1 I'd call it a "Chutzpah", but - since Estonians used WWII to kill of their Jews (some before the Germans arrived, and some after Russians returned) - I doubt Kaja will understand. |
