Fears of World War III are rising as Iran-Israel tensions escalate, Russia boosts military aggression, and global powers brace for conflict. During the NATO summit in the Netherlands, Trump was asked if he saw Putin as an enemy. He replied, *“It’s possible. I consider him a person who I think is misguided,”* but added, *“He would like to get out of this thing. It’s a mess for him.”*

NATO leaders have called for increased defense spending amid growing concerns of conscription returning. While the U.S. Selective Service doesn’t currently exempt specific jobs, certain professions—like healthcare, engineering, education, and ministry—could be spared from front-line combat due to their essential nature. Those with religious or moral objections may also be reassigned to civil roles.

In the UK, conscription history shows a wide draft net during WWII, but exemptions were made for critical workers like farmers, medics, and engineers. MP Mike Martin warned, *“If we get involved in a general war with Russia, we’ll be conscripting the population.”*

The alarm grew louder after Putin announced the mass production of hypersonic Oreshnik missiles, capable of hitting targets over 3,400 miles away. He claimed they’re *“impossible to intercept,”* likening them to nuclear weapons.
