This is a call to war
World War 3 is already here, it just hasn't ramped up yet.
Do you mean the war where a country of 120 million people can't win over a country the third it's size. in a world of 7 Billion people?
A war constituting only less than 2% of the global population?
Is that the world war you mean?
I mean the war that showed the world that territorial conquest is back on the menu, and now other countries, like Israel and China, are trying to emulate.
Maybe if Xi is removed we can get back to improving relationships again. I hope China is pragmatic enough to realize a war against Taiwan will 100% cost them more than they gain.
IDK why they are behaving like such assholes about it currently, except Xi is an idiot about it, and want China recognized as a global power kind of like Russia wants.
The difference being China is an actual global power, while Russia is nothing without their nukes.
But I don't see it as a trend following the Ukraine war, the situation with China has been uneasy for a while, and even if Russia conned Hamas into their attack on Israel, it is of little military significance, except of course for the Palestinians that suffer greatly from this.
So I get what you mean, but I disagree it's a trend.
