    People forgot how long it took the other world wars to really get rolling. (Presumably because they weren’t alive when it happened.)

    I’m also of the opinion that unless something happens to de-escalate this conflict it will inevitably draw Europe, the US, and China in.

      They also forget about the 4+1 treaty.

      If Israel expands to other countries, it would draw Russia in on their side, and the US on Israel’s

      Which now also brings NK in. And we’ve got a multi front multi country war with two distinct fronts.

      People might not call it WW3, but there’s a world war coming straight ahead, and as good of a movie as it was, I dont want to recreate the Titanic

      It didn’t take long at all for WW1 to get rolling.

      June 28, 1914 Archduke Francis Ferdinand is assassinated.

      July 28, 1914 Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, beginning World War I

      WW1 has an insane pace compared to WW2. Battles where a single day has casualty numbers that compare to an entire month past D-day.
