Autistic teenager stressing about WW3 and being called up

NAS91410

My son is 17 and has seen the news that people will be called up. Obviously the media take a stand that makes it sound like this will happen. He is texting me totally petrified and I don’t know enough fact about this to know the best way to calm him. I have said he won’t go if he doesn’t want to but the news is just saying one thing. Does anyone know any facts to help alleviate his stress, I am really worried about his mental health. Many thanks.

    Basically it's an old General spouting nonsense because he's upset about the army not getting as much funding as he'd like.
