War is about old men arguing and young men dying

[yunekoVT]

its sad that we as an "intelligent" species cant do something as simple as getting along

[kylesmith]

I have been saying this for about 2 years, but instead of myopically focusing on the 3 big boys, I am focused more on regional flare-ups all over the world as the catalyst and battlefields of world war 3.

[boy]

It's sad how everything is decided for everyone in every society by only a few at the top, they always prosper while everyone else suffers!🤨🤔✌

[joshirish]

The rich start wars and the poor fight’s them.

[TheWizard]

It's okay guys. Only peasants die during war. Our overlords will be safe in hidden fortified bunkers while we fight for their amusement.

[kenwin]

Americans are so divided. It’s either your democratic or Republican but when war comes around the leaders will just sit back & wait for the smoke to clear. While all the poor citizens kids are dying the rich has the money to avoid it all.

[ashado]

We are already in World War III. The difference between earlier world wars and this one is that weapons and intelligence are being supplied to Ukraine along with economic blockade of Russia on the one hand, while China and other countries are helping Russia sustain the war on the other. If this is not a world war, what is? The old idea of war with boots on the ground is partially outdated. So far the casualties have not been on the same scale as in the past but as one side starts to dominate, it can all change.

[elinope]

As technology progresses, the world keeps shrinking.

[oplex]

What a bloody path that we're going through. It's inevitable!

[clockworkNate]

"As I walk through this wicked world,
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?"

[michaellabarbera]

Yes it’s going to happen again it’s just a matter of time.

[revolutionaryprepper]

A sobering reality of the world we currently live in! God help us! Amen. 🙏

[jasonmartinez]

I want a "Team America World Police" sequel so bad!

[Lani-Grace]

Are we more likely headed into a Great Depression maybe even the worldly depression I'm not sure

[alanculbert]

Can you imagine what a beautiful world this would be if there was literally no human left on it?

[ilonchik]

Ww3 can begin anytime soon especialy in next year

[praveenspike]

All zelensky had do was sign the neutral and minsk treaty, nothing like this would have ever happened and both countries would have benefitted from it as they are related through the people.

[j.d.]

People like these two guys are the reason for WWIII.

[What.]

I had a dream last night, the third world war: Many countries teamed up together against Russia and China, many new advanced weapons are being launched into the sky, I believe this means the war in advanced technology.
