Australia has to seriously consider reintroducing conscription to increase its troop numbers in the face of a looming “all-out war” with Russia, according to defence analyst Dr Alexey Muraviev.
His comments comes days after similar comments were made by European leaders, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In his Daily Mail column on Saturday Bojo pledged to fight in the British army if war broke out with Russia. “Would I sign up to fight for King and country?…. Of course I jolly well would,” Johnson wrote. (Yeah right)
He was responding to comments last week by General Patrick Sanders, the UK’s highest ranking army officer General Patrick Sander, who warned that British citizens should be prepared to fight in a potential land war.
News.com.au reports: Rapidly rising global tensions in eastern Europe and the Middle East threaten to “drag Australia into an orbit of an open confrontation”, Dr Alexey Muraviev, Associate Professor of National Security and Strategic Studies at Curtin University, said.
He added it may be “time for Australia to consider another uncomfortable subject — the return of national service”.
“Back in 1972, Labor under Gough Whitlam abolished the national service in peacetime, even though it could still be reactivated in times of war,” Dr Muraviev wrote in an op-ed for Sky News Australia on Sunday.
“Fifty-two years later, we should be asking ourselves and Labor under Anthony Albanese if we should consider reintroducing a form of national service to increase a pool of trained reserves while we still have time. Or should we wait to be dragged into a major conflict, and deal with the consequences?”
Successive Australian governments have recognised the inadequate size of the Australian Defence Force, with former Prime Minister Scott Morrison pledging a 30 per cent increase to a target of 80,000 personnel by 2040 — a policy supported by Labor.

The International Globalists want their third world war at any price and cost to soldier and civilian alike, and thee International Globalists are using the same tactic against Russia as they did against Germany in two world wars, that Russia has a diabolical plan to conquer the world.
In truth, Russia has a diabolical plan to LIBERATE the world from the International Globalist Gangsters who have caused nothing but misery for millions for two hundred years or more, the Palestinians being a classic example of the International Globalists policy of Genocide in order to ethnicly cleanse the Palestinians and inflict as much suffering as possible on the Palestinians.
As for Australia preparing for all out war with Russia, if Australia can raise an army of 40 thousand troops to fight Russia, it may take 17 years to mobilise 40 thousand troops, by which time the Russian military will have expanded by leaps and bounds, and Australia will be a Banana Republic in all but name. The International Globalist Gangsters can stick their “wet dreams” of World War Three where the Sun don’t shine.
