      It won't really be a world war, more Russia vs all the nations it has pissed off recently.

      Which is actually a decent chunk of the world, come to think of it.

        Only the West hates Russia. The other 6.5 billion people outside of the West have made it clear they either support Russia or are neutral. I'm sorry but you're living in a bubble.

        The world war, which has arguably been going on for 200 years and never really stopped, will now be: The United States, and its dwindling vassals on one side, and the rest of the world on the other.

        The singular nation that has slowly ensured its own demise by teaching other countries to hate it is not Russia, it has never been Russia. It was and always has been the West, more specifically the United States.

        Well BRICS+ is on Russia's side and so is most of the rest of the global south. BRICS alone has a bigger population than the entire West combined. And they are the rising economies with the number one by far most powerful industrial base in the world on their side which is China. So it's more like the West vs the rest of the world which the West has pissed off over the last centuries with their arrogance, their colonialism and their imperialism.

        Not that any of that matters cause once the nukes start flying everyone loses. So none of this dick measuring and chest thumping you are trying to engage in will matter which is why it is so stupid that you people are so gleeful about the prospect of a world war.
