The U.S. Army is raising the enlistment age to 42, in response to the ongoing war in Iran. This makes author believe that this increase in enlistment indicates the world is becoming more dangerous. The move comes as a warning that the military is not just recruiting gay people, but recruiting more regular white males. The Army also lifted a restriction on minor marijuana offenses, which was previously imposed. Author believes this shift could signal a shift in global power, potentially leading to multipolarity or a potential war with Iran. The current conflict could potentially threaten the petrodollar, as oil is priced and purchased in U.K. The author acknowledges that the Pentagon is declaring this as a significant change in policy.
