Just a tought that popped in my head while taking a shower... The United States are preparing for actual war. As they are on a rather big island sort of, separated with 2 oceans between other continents, they now start to remove threads closeby. Venezuela, Greenland and soon probably Cuba aswel... Arming all the Nato countries in the EU (who will probably fight the war initially), as the westflank of Russia is open on that end. They are already using Ukraine now to deplete as much people and weaponery from Russia before the "real" war will start, but Ukraine is running out of people able to fight. EU is ramping up spending, training and will be forcing youth to enlists once more to die in some random country. While buying all weapons from the US. Taiwan will undergo a similar faith against China... Iran will be fighting Israel... Japan will be drawn in there too, first signs of that are already visible. All mayor powers will be fighting each other, US will try hard to keep the fight of their lands. I really hope this does not play out, I will not let my kids die for this. I will rather die trying to protect them, that have them in war
