While most Americans continue to remain in a trance-like state, preoccupied with watching reality television and other forms of mass produced entertainment, it appears to anyone with his or her eyes wide open that the world is inching dangerously closer, each day, towards World War III.
The problem with most citizens living in the United States is that they secretly like to glorify war and have no real understanding about the horrors associated with armed conflicts. Americans watch too many war movies and television shows that intentionally glamorize war, violence and killing. It’s a form of sick and twisted entertainment that many people have become hopelessly addicted to.
Most American civilians have obviously not had to endure the terrible atrocities of war. They have not had to run for cover because of bombs being dropped in their communities. America is not a place where we have had to deal with bombs being dropped on us by jets or missiles (excluding Pearl Harbor). When Americans think of bombs exploding in a war scenario, they envision those explosions being detonated in the Middle East or on some foreign territory.
As each day passes, the leaders of various governments continue to make foolish decisions that are needlessly placing the lives of billions of people in harm’s way. Although any armed conflicts of war in our future will most likely begin with conventional weapons and troops being deployed, it’s also very likely that before these battles conclude, they will feature the launching of many nuclear warheads that will definitely destroy the lives and properties of millions of people around the entire planet.
In a nuclear war no country will be able to claim victory. The direct damage to our planet, its food chain, and life in general will be unbelievable. And for those people that foolishly believe American soil will be off limits to these deadly attacks, like they have been in the past, they should definitely think again.
It’s time that we all wake up and recognize that the leaders of various countries are completely out of touch with reality. These people are warmongers, and the media whores that praise war and the military industrial complex are pushing a dangerous agenda that will end badly for all of us.
