It may be a multi-front war like World War II: in Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, in our hemisphere, and globally. Our enemies include Vladimir Putin’s Russia, Xi Jinping’s China, and Kim Jong-un’s North Korea; and arguably, they are at the top of their game.
Would such a war be over in an instant because of a nation-ending EMP Attack or similar event?[2] Will we even have time to rebuild our military forces? Will we have national leadership like Franklin D. Roosevelt provided? Will we or our loved ones—both men and women—be drafted into service and become cannon fodder?
Are we prepared at all, both mentally and militarily, for a multi-front and multi-faceted war?[3]. Clearly, we have a brain-addled buffoon in the White House, who is the laughingstock of the world.[4]
Tragically, our enemies are superb “chess masters,” who might be moving against us while Joe Biden and his Vice President—Kamala Harris, the cackling former ho of California’s Willie Brown—are still officially in office.[5]
Arguably, we are in the midst of World War III already, as our military involvement and that of our NATO allies increases in Ukraine, and as something similar is true in the Middle East. And we have been aiding those in Taiwan who are arrayed against China’s might.

We are not in WWIII yet and hopefully cooler heads will prevail and we never will be.
Agreed.
