We have been de facto at war for a while. And world War 3 has already been raging for years now. Just none of it is presently like the movies and fiction told people what it would be.
Depending on what America decides to do the next year could see a change in that. Russia and Europe could start shooting at each other sooner than anyone wants to admit. Not because Europe is itching to get into a nuclear war. But more because Russia is a dying nation and will act more and more erratic as they lose control of their empire.
I wouldn't say WW3 is raging, but you could argue we are back in another cold war.
its far beyond cold war. Russia, while not the primary opponent of America see China, is engaged in full scale war with a neighbor who's being pumped full of weaponry for its defense, and the Europeans are panicking , realizing they have an existential crisis on their hands. Both sides are committing acts of war against each other on the regular.
and elsewhere, the Israeli/Arab/Iranian conflict more or less has battle lines driven between countries that are allied with Russia and ones that aren't, While they aren't helping each other, Ukraine and Israel are both facing off against Russian/Iranian Forces and their proxies.
I say we're fighting WW3 right now, because the allegory of 2022-present is comparable to either the Spanish Civil war, or the Sino-Japanese war, both conflicts that saw direct confrontation involving the aggressor in testing grounds for the future
The cold war never ended. It has ballooned into ww3.
It ain't cold tho it's proxy at and honestly that boat that ran into the bridge in Baltimore I'm convinced was an intended attack
Pretty much the entirety of the cold war was actually a proxy war, not much different than this.
okay you are right about that I feel the cold war was so because of the open hostility between the pair where this time half our politicians have Russian or Chinese nuts in their mouth and vice versa we're much more intertwined
