      I will leave the US the minute I hear whispers of a draft occurring if that were to be a concern.

          Speaking as a latino, I would rather not be shot by the border patrol nazis. You think they give a shit about my I.D. as soon as they see my skin color?

            If you are a citizen of the USA, you can just book a plane before the draft. Down South you don’t have to get visas most of the time and you can then just overstay your inexistent visa. Might be some trouble and cost adapting but it’s better than dying in Ukraine and I don’t think it’d be that much cheaper to go to Mejico that the alternative becomes prohibitive. You can even do the ol’ “Actually I just enrolled into university so I can’t fight” trick since Argentina and a few others have plenty of open admission zero-tuition universities.

          I wouldn’t want to go to Canada anyway. Fear over where the US is going has been a huge motivating factor in improving my spanish I will say

              I want to get back into studying Chinese but haven’t it quite a few years. I’ve gotten so much better at Spanish than I ever was at Chinese I almost don’t want to go back.
