Iran-backed groups in the Middle East say thousands of their fighters are offering to come to Lebanon to join with the militant Hezbollah group in its battle with Israel.
Hezbollah and Russia have a defense treaty with some others like Iraq and Iran. Russia and NK just signed one.
Russia is losing in Ukraine, and none of the countries next to Israel can stand against a US backed Israel.
WW2 was because some minor dude got shot and treaties pulled everyone in. What’s going on now could definitely make WW3 pop off, it doesn’t take much historically
Okay, but that’s all of history. One thing leads to another. The problem is, you can’t say what would have happened if things went differently.
Would there have been no Nazi party if World War I never happened? Was Hitler’s rise to power in part due to his experiences in World War I and the economic crisis Germany was put in due, in part, to World War I? We have no way of knowing.
Maybe if Victoria and Albert hadn’t married, World War I would still have happened, but been even worse because there would have been even greater enmity between the British and the Germans. We can’t know. The best we can do is write speculative fiction.
This isn’t happening in a vacuum.

TIL WW2 started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
WW1 set the stage for WW2 to be fair. 2 as we know it wouldn’t have happened without 1.
I suppose if WW1 hadn’t happened, we wouldn’t have called it WW2.
I do think he confused 1 and 2 when he wrote that statement though. I actually think 2 wouldn’t have happened at all without the effects of 1.
And the Wars of the Roses (amongst other things) set the stage for WW1. That’s just cause and effect, not some sort of profundity.
It’s not profound, it’s what I learned in middle school.

Good thing I wasn’t grabbing all of history in my statement then, just 2 plot points.
Did you not read past the first paragraph? Everything else I wrote was about WWI and WWII. I literally talked about Hitler.
Do you get off on acting like this at every chance? And yes I did
