Title: With Russia invading Ukraine &amp; China preparing to invade Taiwan, I can&#x27;t help but wonder.<p>In the 2010&#x27;s, many people told me &#x27;WWIII will never happen, the world is too interdependent&#x27;.<p>When I look at the world unfold in the 2020&#x27;s, it seems very few people accounted for how much corruption, economics, social media, propaganda, etc. would factor into geopolitics.<p>At this point, to me, another global conflict with massive consequences seems inevitable. There is just enough desperation, social unrest, government corruption, and resource depletion to trigger survival instincts on the largest scale.<p>Just like individuals have a drive for self-preservation, nations do too. Wars happen when two or nation&#x27;s drive for self-preservation collide. It seems Russia, China, and North Korea have already aligned while the US&#x2F;EU have aligned, not sure where India stands. The US has warships moving in the South China Sea, China sees that as an act of escalation. Winter is coming in the EU with Russia withholding energy. TikTok is spying on the all it&#x27;s users and Russia interfered in US elections...<p>I&#x27;m just curious to hear what others think&#x2F;feel. I&#x27;m open to any perspective, none of us are prepared for what&#x27;s ahead for better or for worse. I&#x27;m hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.
