I feel that if ww3 starts

It will be a battle of authoritarians and authoritarianism,wealth hoarding,poverty creating ,unequal societies and sociopath personality types and the the law of the ruler.

VS

The rule of laws, democracy egalitarianism,fairness,income fairness, equality,
anti-authoritarianism,
inclusive,freedom loving,empathetic
people who are not sociopaths.

Sometimes I think this clash has been happening since the two kinds of incompatible personality types and the cultures they have existed. War is a reaction of one type to the other type.

Any empire cannot stand to have a true democracy living inside it.

Non- authoritarian people that do not benefit from living in an empire would abandon it if given a free un manipulated choice between autocracy or democracy..and the autocrats and oligarchies know this that's why they propagandize and manipulate,abuse the people in their empires .

I’m too old to practice diving under desks.

On other hand, maybe putin will just withdraw.

Ukraine is like a lit cigarette dropped on the pavement, three feet from a puddle of gasoline that leads back to a tanker truck with a leaking valve, parked next to a school where class is in session…

The driver of the truck dropped the cigarette.

And it’s a windy day.
