Biden is Calling Up Military Reserves..Are Your Kids Next? By Ron Paul

As a rule, United States war reporting since Vietnam has been mostly mainstream media cheerleading the mission rather than digging beyond government war propaganda. After all, it was images of American boys coming home in body bags shown on the six o clock news across the United States of America that finally galvanized mainstream opposition to that war.

The Pentagon learned its lesson by the first Gulf War, and it severely restricted up-close media coverage. Only "trusted" journalists were able to report from the front lines. Most of the press corps wrote up stories based on United States military press releases from luxury hotels in Baghdad.

By the time of Gulf War II the Pentagon came up with the concept of "embedding" select journalists with the troops. This allowed the story to be framed by the Pentagon with the false impression that actual journalism was taking place. It felt authentic, because the journalist was with the troops and close to the action, but the story presented what the Pentagon wanted to be presented.

This is perhaps a long way of pointing out that United States mainstream media coverage of the war in Ukraine leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, sometimes the truth does slip out in publications like the New York Times, which reported last week that in just the first weeks of Ukraines "counter-offensive" at least 20 percent of the weaponry and equipment donated by the United States and NATO has been destroyed.

However, usually what the mainstream media serves up are Pentagon and neocon talking points. Russia is losing, they report. Russia has already lost, as Biden said recently. Most Americans do not go out of their way to listen to actual experts like Col. Doug Macgregor, who from the beginning has been telling a very different story. Thus Americans continue to be fed propaganda.

There is a funny thing about propaganda, though. Sometimes it comes face-to-face with contradictory reality and is shown to be nothing but a pack of lies.

Take for example last weeks shocking report that President Biden has signed an order to mobilize 3,000 United States military reservists for deployment to Europe in support of the 2014 "Operation Atlantic Resolve." What is Atlantic Resolve?? It was launched in the aftermath of the United States-backed coup in Ukraine and the ensuing unrest under the United States-installed puppet government.

So, if Russia is losing - or has already lost, as Biden said last week - why has it suddenly become necessary to call up United States reserve forces??

Well, in the midst of one of the most serious United States military recruiting crises ever, it seems Washington,D.C. does not have sufficient troops for its anti-Russia mission in Ukraine. So what is the mission and why does it seem to be creeping toward sending more United States of Americans close to the battle zone? No one in the Administration seems interested in explaining it and no one in the United States media or Congress seems interested in asking.

We are on a very slippery slope, with President Bidens neocons continuing to escalate in the face of massive Ukrainian losses and an apparent shortage of United States troops.

Make no mistake, if the US-NATO proxy war with Russia is not halted the next step will be to look at the United States Selective Service. That means they are coming for your kids. How long before the United States of America wakes up and says "NO"?
