the drums of war are beating

I don't like the reason why, but this should be the norm here as well.
“If I were proposing a return to basic military service, I would say so. We have several models. One of the most appreciated ones is the Swiss model,” he said, adding that in the latter system training is “not compulsory, but there are incentives that cause men to opt for annual training.”

It gives more clarity to the average citizen about what war would actually look like and it puts skin in the game.
Most would be less likely to vote for warmongers because it directly affects them.

I have no issue with a mandatory service here, would fix a lot of issues with society

A little bit dated with the line about W Bush... but it still applies...

Dear Sirs
If the pavement comes alive on Flatbush Ave with toothy smiles
Comprised of traffic cones and manholes become eyes
And birds burst into flames while singing Satan's praises
And fold into the sky and rain down ashy danger
If every office empties and all slaves walk in dazes
To a pool of liquid money where they bathe blissfully naked
And drugs no longer taunt me and flooze around my conscience
And every woman beating rapist is securely in their coffins
If every open hydrant in a Brooklyn time summer moment
Is opened up by cops and folds out into an ocean
And rent is paid by bread literally and parking isn't paid for
And food stamps can be planted and childhoods can't be damaged
If fire could power space ships that safely ship the creators
Of dynamite and gun powder to the graves of all who faced it
And the slurping nerf of bureaucrat life and bean counting slave owners
Is twisted in on itself til they shave off their own faces
If all the coke and crack in the nation is collected in a top hat
And force fed to the children of every CIA agent
And dust heads get an angel and an acres worth of rainbow
And the projects turn to clouds and the stupid aren't so proud
And the snivelling grimace mongrels of infected money slobbing
Pesticrats ignite into a brilliant beam of light
And mercy is the rule, and the exception's mercy too
And the desert comes in Brooklyn and the President goes to school
Time flows in reverse, death becomes my birth
Me fighting in your war is still, by a large margin
The least likely thing that will ever fucking happen, ever

This potentially leaves us alone to deal with any incursion domestically.
Not a NATO fan, at all, but I'm not sure how I feel about this.
International hardball.
It's not like they can be depended upon for an immediate response.

The US was attacked in 01, it took until 03 for NATO to do anything more than 6 months of AWACS sorties in the US and naval patrols in the Mediterranean?

NATO has been bastardized and abused well beyond it's original intent, their biggest benefit to the US is the customer base.

Which part of Turkey touches the North Atlantic?
