Totally agree. I want no part of it.

However,

They are 2 nuclear powers that have a history of conflict. It's not a stretch to say that there are very plausible scenarios of escalation that can lead to a nuclear exchange.

And I can't help but try to connect the dots that this is another front in WW3 that is starting to go hot. I don't think it's a coincidence that all these conflicts are seemingly starting. Wait for Taiwan and the western Pacific to go hot, wait for Iran, etc.

Nothing happens in a vacuum anymore. When there is an imbalance somewhere on the globe it's felt elsewhere. Other nations are now seeking to exploit a vulnerability or opportunity.

I view it from the lens of history, what would people have said in 1935, 1937, 1939, 1941. All those random independent events (Spanish civil war, Japan invading Manchuria, Germany taking the sudatenland, Denmark, Poland ) etc... you get the idea. All those events increased in velocity and severity and became increasingly connected. I think it's entirely plausible and perhaps even likely to make an argument that we're seeing the battle lines of a multi polar ww3 forming. Very interesting times indeed.

Strategical World wide planning is way outside my wee little mind, but what you say makes sense...it's always been just a matter of time, not if.

No one in 1914 would have predicted the assassination of archduke Ferdinand of austria-hungary would lead to world war 1. The longer 2 nuclear armed powers continue hostilities the greater the risk of a widening war. This is not good and it is getting remarkably little attention in our mainstream press. The arrest of some Democrat twat mayor is apparently a more important story.

If it keeps escalating it will be.

When your neighbor kid is playing with matches and gasoline, you can say "none of my business" if you live in the country.

But if you live in an apartment building, you don't have that luxury.

The world is a lot smaller than it used to be. Even a lot smaller than it was for WWII.
