We should be worried about World War III

I’m not worried about the price of eggs or the cost of gasoline these days. According to new statistics, the U.S. economy has bounced back faster and stronger from COVID-19 than any other country in the world. But this could change.

If Trump gets elected, or becomes president by some other means, he will likely hold to his threats to stop the support to Ukraine and as well withdraw from NATO. He’ll tell his buddy, Putin, to go ahead and ravage Ukraine. Putin will murder thousands more men, women and children, and when it’s done, he’ll deport Ukrainian people to Siberian consecration camps.

Putin will then be emboldened to continue his agenda to attack Poland, then the Baltic countries. The remaining NATO countries will be brought into the war to stop this invasion of Europe. The U.S. will eventually get dragged in it as well, not only with just weapons, but with American troops fighting in Europe. Prior to World War I and World War II, the U.S. had a policy of “America First” and isolationism. It’s nothing new. It didn’t work. Had the U.S. not entered the war to stop Hitler’s aggression, we all might be speaking German. Putin must be stopped, not befriended. If not, this will become World War III and it could extend into our homeland. Have we learned nothing from history?

If we are at war next year, you’ll be lucky to get eggs and gasoline at any price.
