Whatis the treatment that you refer to that "blacks and other Latinos" [sic] receive? Other latinos? What does that mean?

Use a little brain power. Nothing was said about enlisting him in the military. Just send him to Iran for them to use Iranian justice for drug dealers

Use less fuel. Send him across the border to Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia where drug dealers get the death sentence.

Another ignorant statement.

Stanislav is a US national. The USA does not have the draft for military service. why would he go to Iran, if he is a US citizen?

news today indicates that the US now has an automatic draft registration versus one had to register upon turning 21.

actually, news was a CNN April 4, 2026 which indicartes auto registration in effect beginning December of this year. Barron is 20 right now so guess they will be finding that he heelspurs from his Dad! for a deferment.

Yeah, Wow - high rent district - wonder how successful he really was, notice they only say USA, no city/state, and if I am correct ‘Stanislav’ is a first name, no last name given. Maybe just a low hanging fruit for the DEA, who happens to be in Pattaya. Peace

Even if there was a draft, I doubt the US mlitary would want convicted criminals in the military.

No "Stanislav" on the DEA's list of fugitives:

https://www.dea.gov/fugitives/all

There are 3 Stanislavs with Red Notices against them, but none are wanted by the US.

Stanislav is unlikely to be his real name, if indeed he is the fugitive.

Stanislav was 34 years of age.

The USA does not have an active active draft. It has an all volunteer military.

If the USA were to have a "draft", it would first need to be authorized by the US Congress and approved by the President.

The USA does have the Selective Service System which applies only to males aged between 18 and 25. This is not the same as a draft.

Now let's sum up;

Stanislav cannot be drafted because there is no US military draft and, Stanislav would not be on the Selective System registry because he is too old.

The USA has treated its minorities considerably better than the Europeans. The USA did not invent slavery. On the contrary, it inherited the system from the European colonialists, and as a nation only had slavery for 89 years. The Europeans had it for hundreds of years. Nor did the USA maintain a system of colonies that enslaved and exploited people and looted their wealth. The USA was a far more diverse construct than Europe and today is far more integrated and mixed than Europe.

There is lots to criticize the USA about, but its failings on racial harmony and opportunity are no worse than those of Europe. On the contrary. the USA has offered opportunities to everyone. There is a reason why so many marginalized and minority people succeed in the USA (and Australia and Canada) and it is all about opportunity and freedom from the suffocating European society, a society that discourages individual excellence.

And I forgot the natives that were exterminated. In modern times slavery didn't exist any more in Europ, while it was the business model from the US. This allowed the US to acquire such wealth, thanks to the shameless and bloody exploitation of black slaves. Shame on people like you living in denial

Natives were not exterminated. Yes, there were deaths and other unfair treatments but you are looking at government policies from the perspective of 2026. At the time, particularly in Australia and Canada, they reflected European doctrines of the era that were believed to be advanced and enlightened. The treatment of native peoples as bad as it was, was nowhere near as bad as that of european society with its public executions, floggings, debtors prisons, workhouses and child labour.

Your revisionist history is not accurate. The Europeans were still allowing, engaging in and profiting in slavery long after the USA had emancipated its slaves and made the activity illegal. Try reading a history instead of inventing it. Are you even aware that slavery was not universal in the USA as it was in many European countries? Many parts of the USA had banned or forbade slavery BEFORE European nations did so. Vermont abolished slavery in 1777 and slaves were freed in 1783 in Massachusetts. By 1783, the US Congress had passed the Northwest Ordinance that forbade slavery in the Northwest region of the USA. Other states preceded and followed this law. By 1794, the US forbade the use of US vessels in the slave trade and the export of slaves. When Lincoln emancipated the slaves of the US Confederate states in 1862, slavery was still occurring in European colonies.The USA's 13th Amendment put an end to legal slavery in 1865. It took 40+ years for the Europeans to put an end to slavery in their colonies and occupied territories. Spain only passed its slavery emancipation Act in 1870. Italy only freed its slaves in Somaliland in 1895. British east Africa abolished slavery in 1905 and the French followed in French west Africa.

It is you who lives in denial. The Europeans stripped the world of its wealth. They invaded and stole. That is why a region of relatively limited resources is so wealthy today.

Why would I care if he's gay and why is that even brought up? Strange Rangers on this Forum.

No, he posted draft in the U.S. and send him to war in Iran which is gobbledygook nonsense as there is not a draft in the U.S. and no U.S. military boots on the ground. Thought I'd posted that earlier but I guess announcing someone is gay is a little more important to you but equally nonsensical.

Compare voting rights in the UK and US, and come back with an argument that the Jim Crow Laws were enlightened.

Though that is largely true and there's a lot of very useful information that you posted, the American treatment of Native Americans was fairly grotesque, and very duplicitous, and the same applies to their treatment of black people right on through the 1960s.

America has always been a very cruel nation that absolutely adores its violence.

When did the UK represent Continental Europe? 😄

You are so sure of yourself aren't you. Do you know your history of voting rights in the UK? Do you even understand how the USA is structured? There are federal laws and jurisdictions and there are state laws and jurisdictions. The behavior of one US state does not control that of the other states. For example, in 1791 Vermont gave all men the right to vote without condition of property ownership or ethnicity.

Start with the exclusionary laws in the UK that required property ownership to have the vote. The Representation of the People Act 1918 finally abolished nearly all property qualifications for men to vote and granted limited voting rights to women. Women did not get full voting rights in the UK until 1928 with the The Equal Franchise Act.

In the USA, almost all states had abolished a property ownership requirement for voting and in 1856, North Carolina was the last state to lift the requirement. Multiple states allowed women to vote earlier than other states. For example, Colorado and Connecticut had full emancipation of women by 1893. In 1920 the USA passed the 19th Amendment ensuring the voting rights of women.

Yes there was discrimination in multiple US states and it took multiple legal initiatives to ensure the overt discrimination was stopped. The UK has a history of voter discrimination too. As a carryover from colonial times, voting rights and holding of public office for many US residents was restricted, and citizenship denied. After independence in 1776 , most US states had lifted those restrictions.

Between 1865 and 1870, the US Constitution had 3 Amendments; One freed the slaves, the next gave them citizenship and the third gave them voting rights.

Maryland was the last state to lift the exclusion of jews from voting in 1828. In contrast it took 45 years for jews to obtain similar rights in the UK. Starting in 1845, the Religious Opinions Relief Act allowed some jews to hold municipal office. Then in 1867, the Reform Act set out the voting rights of male householders. Finally, in 1890 all restrictions were removed for all citizens of the British Empire.

Yes, Jim Crow laws were horrible and inexcusable. Unfortunately, the UK had similar discriminatory practices with the legal system in the African countries it occupied. Ever hear of India? There was one system of education and law for the Indians and another for the colonial power. The systemic discrimination was just as bad as Jim Crow laws, except that it applied to 350+ million Indians. Ever hear of the UK colour bar? Even with the Race Relations Act of 1965, the discrimination in the provision of services, employment and educational opportunities persisted in the UK. The US passed its Civil Rights Act in 1964.

As I wrote previously, there is lots to criticize about the USA, but neither the UK nor Europe is in a position to pass judgement.

You need to query the current US draft policy - as of April law passed, beginning December all eligibles between 21-25 all ELIGIBLES will be automatically registered for the draft versus having to do so personally. This could mean that Barron , son of Trump could be registered but maybe an inherited heel spurs deferral could exempt him.

ICE should take her away as she got an Einstein visa which is only allowed for super intelligent and gifted folks and being a talented Escort for rich and powerful men does not meet the criteria. I fail to understand how they can continue to allow her to remain in the US IMHO based on her lies about her background.

The US may not have invented slavery, but we are the only country that made it such a linchpin of the southern US economy that long after most countries around the world had made it illegal, without much fanfare, the US was willing to fight a civil war to keep it legal. And doesn't tell me that the civil war was about "states rights." The only state right was the right to continue with chattel slavery, the right to own and treat humans as livestock. Actually, one of the little known reasons that the US fought the revolutionary war to separate from the British was that Britain had made slavery illegal and the colonies feared that they would extend this law to the US. The European system does NOT discourage "individual excellence." If the US was so good at encouraging "individual excellence," please explain to me how you managed to get Trump as president.

I am not going to defend slavery because it is indefensible. However, your comments lack context. The USA did not fight a war to keep slavery. On the contrary, the USA was opposed to slavery. There were 23 states in the USA at the time of the US civil war as 11 states that kept slavery had seceded and technically were not part of the USA. The 23 states of the Union forbade slavery.

It is wonderful that you reference Great Britain. It was the British who supplied and propped up the Confederacy. Had the British not supplied the Confederacy with naval vessels, munitions, markets for its cotton and blockaded Union ports, the Union would have defeated the Confederacy sooner. The largest market for slave plantation cotton was Great Britain. Had the UK forbade imports of slave cotton the Confederacy would have lost its income and collapsed. So much for moral leadership. Are you even aware of Great Britain (and France's) support of the Confederacy?

Your revisionist history is remarkable for its scatological logic. The US revolutionary war was fought between 1775 and 1783.

The British Abolition of Slavery Act was enacted on August 1, 1834 and took complete effect by 1838. The attempt to link resistance to a ban on slavery and the revolutionary war is ridiculous. Aside from being off by 34 years, you ignore the fact that even though the Emancipation Proclamation was 1 Jan.1863 , by that time a majority of US states and territories had already banned slavery.

In respect to individual excellence, the reality is that the USA offered opportunities for free thought and scientific advancement that were not available elsewhere. This is best demonstrated by the number of Nobel laureates. Over 70% are Americans of which 29% are reported as immigrants.

As for the election of Trump, considering who his opponent was, first an infirm Biden and then the lamentable Kamala Harris, it is understandable why so many Americans voted for Trump, even if they disliked him. Americans voters picked Trump the same as UK voters picked Starmer, Brazil voters elected the corrupt da Silva, Canadians picked Trudeau, Hungarians picked Orban, the French got Macron etc. Sometimes the person they vote for is seen as the less awful of options.
