World war 3 and the idea of a literal 3rd global conflict is a bit of a cunt isn’t it.
I’m not playing down the seriousness of such an apocalyptic event but I’m sick and tired of reading about “World War 3”
Vietnam – this could lead to World War 3.
Saddam Hussein and the Gulf War – this could lead to World War 3.
9/11 – this could lead to World War 3.
ISIS in Syria – this could lead to World War 3.
The election of Donald Trump – World War 3.
Putin invades Ukraine – World War 3.
Hamas cunts murder a thousand Israeli’s – World War 3.
You get the idea.
If World War 3 started tomorrow – would we know for sure if it was actually World War 3?
Is there an official start date?
Have we not been engaged in a defacto World War 3 since 1946 but nobody has bothered telling us?
Will the post second World War period to the present day be recognised as “World War 3” one day in the future?
I’m aware that World War 1 was originally the “Great War” (I think?)
But did the people caught up in or who lived through the second World War know that it was “World War 2” ?
Or did that title come later on as a retrospective view?
As I say – I’m certainly not downplaying anything here but it seems every conflict these days is a prelude to “World War 3”
Apologies for the slightly abstract nature of this cunting of a potentially catastrophic event, but dare I say it, I sometimes find it all slightly hyperbolic.
Maybe that’s the smoke and mirrors world I’ve become used to living in.
Peace ✌️
