My other half thinks "No". I think "Yes".

I asked him if a lot of that was hope. He laughed and said, "Fuck, yes".

We had this talk the other night.

I agree we are already in WW3 as well.

The Ukrainians are suffering the physical and emotional brutalities of war currently but the world, a lot of it, is materially behind the defensive effort and while the skin in the game isn't the same as of now, because of that very real defensive material support, it soon could be.

It is, in essence, the world against Putin.

The world against an unstable megalomaniac who has no conscience.

You have to prepare for the worst he could do because, fact is, he could do it.

I don't know that he will. I do believe that he would.
