      It's already on though. Just as we now recognize the Marco Polo incident in 1937 or even maybe 1931 Mukden incident as first shots of World War 2, so is the 2022 SMO or even 2014 maidan coup first shots of WW3.

      I hope i'm mistaken, but seeing articles like those not in some marginal rags but in mainstream publications of the most powerful media apparatus in history make me pessimistic about the future.

        I think such first shots can only be seen well in hindsight, so I hope you are mistaken too 🙃. I like our little planet and you know... Living. So this news that shit only continues to escalate does not fill me with hope. 🫠
