      It’s only recently I’ve come to the frightening realization that…we’re all tensely waiting for World War 3 to start. It HAS started, the fronts just aren’t within the traditional empires; and a good 70% of the war is on ideology and propaganda.

        I think WW3 already happened - it was fought with oil in the '70s and the West lost (badly) to OPEC. The current one is WW4 and fought with information - and we’re losing (badly) again.

          sorry not to be a douche but I think you’re both wrong. The cold war never ended it’s been ongoing

            And Russia won it without spending any money on their military. They just had to hire a room full of internet trolls.

              Ehh nobody has won yet Russia is still doing their three day special military operation like 1000 days later. I wouldn’t call that a win.

              I think just like WWI and WWII the major powers will all lose and new players get a shot at finding a seat at the table
