Several US military bases across Europe were put on a heightened state of alert over the weekend, with the level of force protection raised to its second-highest state amid concerns that a terrorist attack could target US military personnel or facilities, according to two US officials.
World war II wasn’t called “world war II” until 1944, future events will dictate weather we’re already living in the early war.
There are Russian, North Korean, and Iranian troops fighting in Ukraine
There’s conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine
China is playing a game of brinkmanship with Taiwan and The Philippines.
If things heat up, future historians may place the beginning of world war 3 on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The beginning would definitely be the Ukraine invasion, with things like Crimea and Syria pre-heating the oven, like Anschluss and the occupation of Sudetenland did before WW2.
As interesting it is to watch world history unfold, I would very much prefer the “boring” but prosperous times we had in Europe for the decades before - hope to go back to that soon.
The problem with the Doomsday clock idea is it’s very unspecific. The closer to midnight the closer we are to the end of the world but what does that mean? Who decides if we are 30 seconds or 35 seconds before midnight, what’s one second worth of Doom represent? For that matter what does 1 second after midnight look like (as far from Doom as possible), What’s that is that, a utopia, and how is that different to 3:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.
Is there some sort of tracker for the chance of WW3 breaking out?
