When I added this second blog, I thought I would make it an opinion blog relating to the apocalyptic events happening around the world, so this piece today is entirely my opinion. I don’t want to increase the fear porn so many seem to thrive on right now, but todays blog addresses a serious question.
My other blog is under the heading of my handle Prepper-girl. This post today may bring up more questions than answers, I don’t know. Please subscribe to both of the blogs to get the full effect. It is called Apocalyptic Blog.
Are we in a war now or are we heading into one?
This is a question that you will get so many answers to. Some people are oblivious and do not have any idea what world events that are occurring. Some have an idea the world is on fire, but choose to believe all will be ok, because it’s always been ok most of their lives. And there’s some like me that feel we are already in a war with various countries, there just hasn’t been a ground invasion of sorts.
On so many fronts, we are staging and participating in a virtual war on so many levels. China/Taiwan, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran all have major issues, and we are wrapped up in all of them. With the United States being the main superpower of the world, we have our hands in every cookie jar so to speak. It seems to me that we have just stretched ourselves too thin across the world stage.
Wars are not fought like they use to be, lining up in a straight line and marching across an open field for engagement just doesn’t happen. It just isn’t done like this anymore. It’s sneakier. China dumping a multitude of fentanyl across our borders into major cities constitutes a war-like action. I wonder if this has been done to undermine the continuity of our fighting age men and women. It has been streaming across our southern border for years now and they seem to get a new strength or type every so often to increase addiction. I had just heard of a “new” drug being found in Tucson, Arizona within the last month, more powerful than fentanyl. Makes you wonder.
If China attempts to take Taiwan, as they most likely will try, it is going to throw us into a major escalation. China feels they have rights to Taiwan, and they want to be an independent nation. Taiwan is an ally of the United States, and we have helped protect them for a long time. It is expected if China attacks them, we will step in to protect their country. What do you think will happen with that situation? I think it’s only a matter of time until China tries to take what they feel is theirs’. I feel they are bidding their time until the United States is occupied in another region of the world, then they will attempt to take Taiwan. Maybe this situation does not constitute war, but it definitely is war-like.
The Russia/Ukraine conflict has been going on now for a while. Under the Biden administration, money was dumped left and right into their coffers. Who knows where that money went. It was earmarked for arms, but there is no paper trail leading to a conclusion that this occurred. The US also supplied many millions of dollars of military arms also. Ukraine is not a NATO country, though they would like to be, but yet they are our ally. Pitting Russia against the US is what it has come down to. Is this a proxy war for the US? Sources say no, but to me it looks mighty suspicious. This issue is not going to get solved any time soon. Since the Trump Administration, the amount of funding has slowed, but talks with Zelensky and Trump were evident at the NATO conference a few days ago. A wait and see on this one too.
I don’t even know where to begin on the Israel/Iran 12-day war. This is the most volatile for the US right now. President Trump helped broker a ceasefire this last week, but it is extremely fragile. Both sides are teetering on engagement, and I pray that the ceasefire holds. Again, Israel is America’s largest ally next to the United Kingdom. Actually, I’d say they are the largest in my opinion. I try very hard to keep up to date on world events and such, but this one had me very worried.
I think we are in war time because of these three issues that are going on. It will take one small match to blow a powder keg into the stratosphere. Cyber-attacks are occurring across our country every day, some larger rather than smaller. It seems every day I read information about something happening like A T n T or Microsoft getting hacked. It’s just never-ending. So, there is a war going on, it’s just on the internet versus face-to-face combat. Wars are fought on a different plane now a days.
