#1 Gotta love a four-star who improperly use MilAir and made fishy TDY claims.

The best one was his junket to France to be part of this "brotherhood" (almost something out of Monty Python):

"Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin translates from French to English as “The Brotherhood of Knights of Wine Tasting Cups.” Its original name, in the 18th century, was the “Order of the Drink.”"

#2 No one is going to support a Russia that uses nuclear weapons,"

#3 "no one wants to be drafted."

No shit.

But it does work if you have a good logistical support for the drafted and a good program to quickly indoctrinate them into the military. See the Draft, USA version.

The Russians do not have the above which is why it will fail.

#5 I don't believe that Stavridis is willing to risk nuclear war because of a minor border dispute between Ukraine and Russia. He and his NATO/globalist colleagues must have much bigger plans. They don't seem to mind that this is the first time NATO has used violence to force their expansion into a country.
