Am I the only one who fears a third world war is among us? I've been studying the circumstances that led to WW1 and WW2, and let me tell you, we're not as far as they were. I hope the better judgment of people avoids such a catastrophic outcome.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". - Albert Einsten

I think the promise of mutually assured destruction has kept global conflict from escalating to the nuclear level. If it came down to it, there would be no one left to reign over the nuclear fallout

World War 3 will more than likely not be a traditional war like the ones from the past. In the era of information and digital spaces, the war will be fought through the spread of misinformation, damage to digital infrastrucutre, and the exploitation of human psychology. In many ways, this conflict has already begun and there are already major players, such as Russia, who take advantage of modern means of warfare

My only hope is that I can live out my life without having to experience the mass terror of all-out global conflict

I think the general population does have the judgment to opt against going to war, the problem is politicians with vested interests and war profiteers who are incentivized to instigate conflict so they can line their pockets

I seriously wish I could disagree with this sentiment, but I have this constant nagging feeling that trouble's a-brewin'. I don't even want my kids to know how scared I am. Praying for the strength to see this through

All the signs are there, it's only a matter of time before something escalates further. I certainly don't want it to happen. I'm hoping against it. Not exactly liking the state of things right now though

I hope you're wrong. But I'm not sure if I think you are or not. It's a pretty crazy political scene out there right now and I don't even know what to think
