Honestly, with all the stuff going on the last few years it’s easy to forget the Syrian Civil War never really ended.
I was under the impression Assad had managed to consolidate power and pushed the rebels to the outskirts. If the rebels can capture Syria’s 2nd biggest city… it puts the future of the Assad regime into doubt. And by extension Russia’s influence in the region.
I do not think this bodes well for the future stability of the region.
Seems quite some areas in the world are having growing tensions. And with Russia and the USA having some kind of proxy wars, I’m not so sure how off we are from WW3 :-\
I see Ukraine war as a sort of Spanish Civil War before WW2. Proxy war which the big powers used as an opportunity to test new technologies on the battlefield.
That started in '36 and ended in '39 which is also when WW2 started.
So if we were to go along those lines, WW3 is coming in the next year or so. Ukraine War is almost pushing 3 years now.
Basically when Ukraine war ends, the next one will start. And it’ll dwarf the former.
Of course history doesn’t repeat, only rhymes. But I’m seeing an awful lot of rhyming these days

Yep, exactly what my gut is telling me, but you put some nice historical data in your reply, which is very much appreciated.
Thank you!
I’ll bet we’re in the times the history books would consider the start of ww3 rn.
Hopefully we avoid
