If you live long enough, you see that history keeps repeating itself, or at least that people do. Every time before a big war starts, governments start lying to each other even more than they usually do while the arms race intensifies. As it is now.
Trump recently bragged, several times actually, that the US has weapons no one else has, weapons they can’t imagine. Israel, such a tiny country, has just put into use a laser system capable of shooting down pretty much anything that flies, if they’re to be believed, and do it for a few dollars a shot instead of hugely expensive missiles.
He even wants to go back into Afghanistan and take back the Bagram Air Base because “It’s only one hour away from where China makes their nuclear weapons”.
China and Russia have joined in a military pact along with North Korea. The government of South Korea is destabilizing.
The Saudis and UAE have joined a military pact with nuclear Afghanistan.
More and more nations are “recognizing” a so-called Palestinian state within nuclear-armed Israel, that has no clear boundaries, hasn’t been formed and doesn’t exist.
The list goes on. Every day we hear more lies involving more and more important people and what they’re doing, lies to cover up the truth.
The price of precious metals is rapidly rising. They always do, right before a big war breaks out.
There’s something in the air and the odor is getting stronger. I’m not sure what it is yet, but it kinda smells like war.
