We are in World War 3 we just haven't started calling it that yet.

Eh… by those standards we’re in WWIV and The Cold War was WWIII.

We aren’t in a world war, even if we are the WW name is kind of a brand associated with those 2 wars. That’s not to say the world isn’t going through a unique period of unrest but I digress

Maybe the WWE should sue; after all, they lost their suit to the WWF.

Genocidal campaigns tend to do that.

“Israel’s war on Gaza” is quite the framing

I think the October 7th attack will quite possibly go down in history books as one of the biggest tactical blunders of the 21st century.

On the contrary, it worked perfectly. The intent was to cause a massive retaliation from Israel that could be used to transform the aggressors into poor pitiful victims. This victimhood is being used to turn western society against Israel.

October 7 was horrific, but retaliating by killing not only the perpetrators, but their families, destroying everyone’s homes, hospitals and killing the children in the schools is not exactly an equal response.

Possibly. Depends on how this all ends.

Any time someone says "the West", I lose as much respect for them as if they say "the East". It's a lazy generalisation.
