Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

Is Australian politics recoverable to something vaguely democratic?
If you think, it _is still_ or _has always been_ democratic then move on
It wouldn't be a 2 party system, that was too easily subverted, or circumvented
Whatever the new system is, it would have to be able to be imposed

France on Thursday announced the creation of a paid, voluntary military service for young adults, becoming the latest European country to beef up its armed forces in the face of perceived threats from Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
France Creates Voluntary Military Service as Europe Faces Russian Threat
The effort, aimed at young people, came after an army chief angered many by saying the country must accept the possible loss of “our children” in a future war.

First things first. It would be remiss of me not to refer specifically to the appalling and outrageous casualty list of Palestinian journalists and other media workers in Israel’s war on Gaza since the brutal attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens two years ago.
