I could be wrong but I would think, maybe in a scenario where the US breaks apart and is undefended some nations could seize farmland and other natural resources. With increasing climate change there may be more motivation for taking better territory and resources. Ocean nations that stand to be heavily affected by changes in the ocean could band together and try to form new territories in more hospitable places, especially without a strong navy like the US as a world police.

I agree this seems most likely, and like WhatDoYouMeanPodcast said, the people themselves are more interconnected and have a lot less motivation to fight for nations than they might have had in the 40s. Who would accept a draft today but the most hardcore nationalists? I could see it being a bigger debate in the future whether events classify as a world war or not, with an increase in proxy wars, political manipulation, coups etc maybe.

Do y'all think WW3 is coming? If a conflict on that scale happened within the next 5-10 years I wouldn't be surprised, but I have a lot anxiety. I've heard plenty of people say they are reminded of the 30s by today's events, but is war like that possible anymore?

I Have No Horn and I Must Honk

In 7th grade a friend read that book for class, he was normally a very cheerful and joking sort of guy. After a few days of reading it he suddenly had the most serious and somber demeanor I had seen for a 7th grader.

If it was possible the entire company should be charged with negligent homicide and dissolved for these kinds of patterns, but they probably will get fined or pay a settlement, so it's just a cost of doing business.

At my work place, with a shop full of dangerous equipment, 20 years ago a person was killed using a lathe and we still hear about it and have extensive safety procedures specifically because of that, and no one else has died or been critically injured since.

Many average consumers probably don't specifically know what 'spatial' means, or what defines a computer vs a phone or whatever. People with too much money do spend 3500 carelessly, I have known a few of the types, and for the latest Apple technology I could see plenty of people buying it without even knowing what it really is.

Well that's the thing, the haters don't think queers and non-white people are human.

She could ride in an anonymous tour bus, harder to track, she could even have a security convoy, and still save money and emissions. Billionaires are murdering us all, I have no sympathy for her or anyone with her wealth if they take private jets on trips that would take two hours to drive.

I haven't seen anyone argue that the militants that attacked Israel aren't legitimate targets in a war like this. I have doubts about the reports that they specifically targeted civilians more than military points or that there were orders to attack civilians. Even Israeli news has reported that many civilians killed on Oct. 7th were most likely killed by IDF.

I'm not forgetting that, I pointed out that multiple groups have been attacking Israel. Yes, resistance fighters have used terrorism against Israel and bombed civilians, I'm not condoning these actions, but the people fighting for freedom from Israel don't have many resources at their disposable. Struggles against Apartheid and Nazi occupied France for example also resulted in civilian deaths.

But it's not just Hamas being slaughtered, all of Palestine is targeted by the IDF. There are other groups besides Hamas fighting. And there is one side who is stealing land and killing record numbers of children and aid workers, and has been for decades.
