This war will affect teens, too!

We all know about the war that’s currently in progress. I mean how could we not? It’s seriously a war, one that’s certainly shot up our gas prices. Some of you guys have probably already asked “What would happen if Ukraine fell and the war spreaded?” and so I came up with a few theories today. I can’t say that they’re 100% but it could be a possibility. 

As you know with the war between Ukraine and Russia, lots of their civilians are dying.

From what I read there are lots of deaths. For those of you are curious, I’ve added them up to a total of 1,625 people that have died and the majority of the deaths are civilians.

So what would happen if the war were to spread over here? Well of course we’d have to evacuate but there would probably still be a good chunk of us that would refuse to leave. The people that chose to stay might lose their lives trying to fight back. The ones that wish to fight just might be beyond the current death counts of Ukraine and Russia’s war.

The fight could probably get so bad that America just might forcefully draft you. Yes, they can do that, not children, but certainly adults.  Congress and the president could bring back the drafts and forcefully take male and females to serve in the military. No ability to refuse and walk away, they will seriously take you against your will.

You may already know this but they’re actually a lot more women in our country than men. Sure you might think that this is a bluff but there actually are more women than men. This is because a long time ago we used to only let men fight and they’d of course lose their lives on the field, 

Another way this could affect us could be food. It’s already going to be tricky with deliveries since our borders are closed and the many sanctions that are being ordered against Russia. Because deliveries are getting tricky this will lead to shortages of everyone’s favorite food.

You’ve noticed not many stores have stocked back up on certain things, it’s because they’re low and it’s hard to find a way to get what they need back. We’ve already taken in 500,000 refugees meaning we obviously have to feed them so they can stay alive.

We also have to worry about the children who of course have their eyes glued onto TikTok. Most of them are more than likely aware of the war raging since it’s everywhere on TikTok. We’d have to find a way to keep the children educated and out of danger. If we were to be invaded and a little rascal is playing about instead of listening to directions, little Timmy might be donezo. I mean not unless he could pull off an Ip Man and K.O. the troops.

Pets are another thing. We have to feed our fur babies. To some of us these are our literal fur babies. We would have to find a way to get veterinarians since everyone’s attention would be on the humans. 

So you see, war would affect us in a major way. I still think we’d all be safe though since we’re the cool guys.
