| Sweden returns to conscription http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39140100
We at Finland never stopped conscription (something I never agreed with but whatever), but it's still voluntary for women unlike at Sweden now. However, it looks like Sweden won't still actually force everyone to go, but it's more like Norway where only selected groups are thrown to army camps. So all in all, even though it's technically conscription for men and women, it's not absolute as Finland and some other countries
It's kind of sad to see the slow return of mandatory army services in Europe after a period when they were slowly abolished few years ago. |

| It's not really surprising with the resurgence of Russia under Putin via the actions he took via Georgia and the Ukraine. The Baltic Nations have every reason to this. Even more so considering Russia's aggression and threat level to them since the Stalin era. Surely you know of how he tried to conquer Finland twice. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| No, I most definitely do not know of a subject that's been taught to death in school and drilled to brain of every citizen, as well as having grandparents injured in them...
Times have changed however. Conventional armies in Europe are more like a public image of strength than actual workable defense grid nowadays, at least outside NATO barrier.
In any case, it is still sad to see conscription to have been reinstated so widely, whether or not one agrees with it's intentions. Would you like to endure through it if you lived in country with it?
As I personally went through 12 month civilian service, I'm not part of the actual reserve forces, however if hypothetical war did occur I would still have to serve in some sort of unspecified civilian aid job. Not that I think it will ever come to it, Finland (or Sweden for that matter) isn't exactly former Soviet satellite country like Ukraine or whatever, and also it's more tied to West even without NATO |

| It looks like the E.U. is considering it's own nuclear deterrent using the nukes France has as a backbone.
This is due to how Britain, which was the first Western European country the have nukes, pulled out of the E.U. and how Trump, and many on the right, want Europe to pull more military weight then it has done in the past. The problem is that this is all assuming that the E.U. lasts much longer. I can see Western European nations develop their own atomic weapons program, but under E.U. rule. That entity is dying. It's only a matter of time,10-12 years or so, before it implodes. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

In many ways, things are more dangerous. We have North Korea which has alienated both it's closest allies, Russia and China, so who knows what they'll do. And then we have the possibility of Iran, one of the main sources of terrorism, having an atomic weapons program since the 1990's. Not only that, but we have the possibility of Saudi Arabia starting an atomic weapons program. If Iran has an atomic weapons program, then the whole Middle East risks the true rise of an Islamic Persian Empire.

Christ... that's like something out of a nightmare. Now imagine Titanoboa doing that... Something like that happened a few years ago. A python killed a man and tried to eat him and a police sergeant took a picture. The guys head was in the mouth but he spit it out and tried to flee, but was killed by the sergeant and a force of some men. Some people don't think it was able to eat the guy since he was laying on his belly and the snake's mouth couldn't get past the shoulders, but the sergeant said it could have done so since an autospy showed that the guys bones were crushed quite badly. Here's the photo that he took. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.
