It is frightening to see us gearing up for war and what this will mean for our children, our economies, our quality of life, and the future of the world and the environment.

World War III might not be officially declared in 2024 and perhaps not for a few years, but I have every reason to believe it is coming.

This month in the UK, Tobias Ellwood MP and former defence minister said there is a “1939 feel to the world” which came on the heels of the news that the head of the army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, that we might need to consider conscription as the military is too small. In addition Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO’s military committee told us we should prepare for WWIII with Russia within 20 years.

It seems like the decision is already made. Russia is NATO’s enemy and war is inevitable.

I’m wondering why? Who is set to benefit from the war? And what will a victory look like?
