"Total War"

It sure would seem that way. A nuke ended WWII, but will it end or START WWIII?

Anything is possible. No one would dare to use nuclear weapons first unless the country is facing a crisis of extinction.

Nah we have another decade of proxies wars before the war machine gets really going

If we are, what are the sides? 🤷 I can't see it, yet.

I think yes. We've been in WWIII for years, maybe decades. I think it's a global top/bottom class war. I think it really started with gusto during the Arab spring, but arguments could be made it started with the crisis in 2008 or even the gold decoupling in 1971. There are people profiting off of these things, and they want everyone else to be slaves.

You think interrogatively about that. In my point of view, we have been since decades. The fact that different people that shine over others are treated like monsters and ostracized is the root of absolute war (at least from my perspective)

Seeing that the situation is getting worse recently, I feel that it may come in a few years.

NATO vs. Russia?

If only it was that clear.

Do you see Hungary, Slovakia, or Turkey fighting Russia? And I can continue with other examples. NATO can't shoot a bullet if there's a single country against. I can't see even the US entering the fight, Trump is a coward grifter that hits only weak opponents. Why not NATO against CSTO? Do you know that Russia has its own NATO equivalent? Right now Russia is armed by North Korea (soldiers included), Iran (weaponry and components) and China (components, machine tools, etc). About a week ago, Russia threatened Austria with an invasion and Austria isn't in NATO. See, it gets pretty awkward when you think about it. There will be no NATO Vs Russia.

NATO has treaties that Russia is testing right now with 12 odd drones. How much are these treaties worth?

They are absolutely zero. So there won't be any NATO Vs Russia. 🤷 Eastern Europe will have to defend (mostly) itself. Right now, Russia can cause real problems in the Baltics, nothing more. They tried when they invaded Ukraine, but over the border in the Baltics, there were French and Danish troops out in the open. Russia backed down. For Romania and Moldova, they need to get past Ukraine. Good luck with that. I know, everyone thinks Russia is winning, but nobody can explain to me how the Russians went from occupying 30% of Ukraine to about 19% right now. Other than that, invade what NATO country? Turkey? Turkey doesn't give an expired shit about Russia. Remember when Turkey fucked that Russian plane for being in Turkish airspace for a few minutes?
