I had ten years more WW3 is about to happen at any time than you did. We saw Northern Ireland become a peaceful place after such a long time like a war zone, the Middle East calmed down after always being a warzone somewhere or other. We watched the Berlin Wall come down in ’89 with such optimism, the USSR broke up peacefully and Europe started to be a more interesting place, now these borders with Russia are bloody dangerous. Somehow there’s a new and improved ‘Cold War’ that isn’t actually a secret at all, a real war hiding behind words like conflict, the holy lands are all to hell again, my god we are useless at this peace thing - the rich twats just can’t make enough money unless we’re all suffering obviously.
