      This is a weird kind of WWIII where almost none of the world is at war. Very unlike the previous two world wars which had the whole ‘world’ thing going for them.

      Im a 24 year old male with no preexisting conditions besides autism. If ww3 kicked off I would probably know pretty fucken quick since itd require the draft assuming it doesnt go nuclear. They would probably have me drive trucks around.

      “Orchestrating” a war that hasn’t happened yet is not doing the thing. Trump is orchestrating all sorts of shit by that standard.

      Weird WWIII, considering currently, there’s only two large armed conflicts in motion, and no country outside of Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, or Russia has actually placed boots on the ground in a conflict zone.

      Compare this to WWII, where we had: Japan, Russia, Finland, Senegal, India, Bangladesh, Burma, the Phillippines, Germany, the UK, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, and probably a dozen other powers and colonial holdings I’m forgetting, all in active combat.

      So.
