I find it quite astonishing that as the world comes to the obvious conclusion that we are indeed already in World War III, the world suddenly wants to act like they have absolutely no clue what that means. I'm almost one hundred percent positive that it was a given across most countries in the world that people knew this hard-to-deny fact: World War III is Armageddon. As in the Final Battle. The Last Hoorah for Humanity. The End of All Things. The Ultimate Battle Between Good & Evil. I mean, we have literally known this minor little factoid since August 6, 1945.
So, for 77 years, I was just under the assumption that everyone knew this. Countless films and television programs have been made on this very topic. Many famous novels and bestselling non-fictions books have been written detailing this for generations. Songs, poems and stage plays have been written about it. A million sermons have been preached from the pulpits about this inconvenient fact of life. For decades, our children had to learn how to prepare for it while at school. And now, here we are, closer to nuclear war than we HAVE EVER BEEN AT ANY POINT IN OUR HISTORY. And it doesn't mean anything to anyone?!?
While Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear war against the "Evil West" on an hourly basis following his invasion of the Ukraine, suddenly, everyone has forgotten this lost nugget of information? No one I know talks about what is happening in Russia or Europe. If you bring the matter up in casual conversation, people look at you like you have lobsters crawling out of your ears. "Ukraine, where's that?" they seem to ask. Not a mere mention of what is happening in Europe, they haven't a clue about an energy crisis, or a food crisis or a humanitarian crisis. Inflation is going through the roof, but no body want to talk about the coming famine, the complete collapse of the supply chains across the planet. No one has a clue about the extreme shutdowns in Shanghai and Beijing, China. They simply don't comprehend that all the junk you buy at the Dollar Tree and Walmart comes from those places and simply IS NOT COMING. That most of the medication we need comes from China, that Russia produces most of the fertilizers US farmers have to have to grow crops, that 80% of the neon needed to make microchips that are literally in every gadget we use on a daily basis comes from the Ukraine. And NONE of those things are coming. It's as if the rest of the world simply does not exist and therefore could not possibly have any effect on our lives here.
No, everyone is mindlessly posting goofy memes on Facebook (not that I visit that rancid place anymore), laughing at stupid Tik Tok videos or posing for selfies on Instagram. The Real World could never penetrate that level of fakeness. Fake, staged photographs to show the world how fabulous it all is for you. Instead of taking the time to prepare yourself for what is obviously coming down the pike.
The United Nations, Unicef, the World Bank and many other global organizations are warning of the coming hunger and food crisis. A "Biblical Famine" is coming to the entire planet, they caution. This crisis is not simply going to be limited to countries "Over there", it will take place on almost every continent. Hundreds of millions if not billions of people will be affected! Governments in Europe are preparing their citizens for World War III this very moment as well as for an energy and food crisis. China and Russia are preparing their citizens for the War of Wars against the West. Russian propaganda is telling citizens that they can win a nuclear war against the US, that they will be martyrs to the Motherland in the event of nuclear holocaust. Russia does not subscribe to the US theory of "Mutually Assured Destruction", which has left Americans complacent for decades. What is the country getting YOU prepared for? I see, you just want to scroll through Facebook and watch The Real Housewives while sipping on a Starbucks coffee? Get real and get a clue folks....fast, before the mushroom cloud takes out the Internet and cable. Whatever will you do then?
World War Three is Armageddon? Who knew indeed?
