Two global alliances may soon be directly engaged against each other

Israel and Iran are fighting, pulling in Lebanon and Gaza. Russia and Ukraine are fighting, pulling in NATO countries. India is strengthening ties with Russia (via BRICS) and will probably get involved somewhere. North Korea is sending troops to fight with Russia, and so South Korea is considering getting involved on Ukraine’s side. And China is getting ready to invade Taiwan which will definitely involve the U.S. That’s… 43 countries at war or about to be at war, representing almost half of the world’s population.

    Or… America might be about to get involved on Russia and China’s side, instead of against them, depending on how the Presidential election goes.

      I think that if he wins and if he orders the military to join Russia, one of the Joint Chiefs will end his presidency with extreme prejudice.

      Then we will have an entirely different can of worms opened.

        I hope, when this case arise, that they have the guts to pull the trigger.
