Some people argue that WW2 actually started in the early 1930s with Japan’s incursions into China which ultimately resulted in the second Sino-Japanese war. In 1932 that probably felt a lot like Russia and Ukraine felt to us in 2022. I think the real deciding factor on whether it spirals into a global conflict is the extent to which a bunch of regional conflicts combine into to a global clusterfuck. US shit in South America is not helping. Neither did Israeli shit in Palestine.
I live nearish to a military base so a lot of local businesses have a military/veteran discount.
At the store I buy dog food at, the staff are so tired of asking about it that they have shortened “are you a member of the military?” to “any military?”
After I noticed it a few times that every single employee in the store shortened it that way, I started answering “there is one, but I’m not in it.”
Loooots of blank stares. I stopped since apparently nobody gets it or they don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s the former but idk 🤷
