    This isn’t happening in a vacuum.

    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

        WW1 set the stage for WW2 to be fair. 2 as we know it wouldn’t have happened without 1.

            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.
