This feels a lot like start of a WW3 for the third time in past few years.

First it was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel Hamas conflict, now its this.

It will be a proxy war as usual.

WWI flashbacks. No UN. Reactionary military operations...

WW2 didn't start overnight. There was a series of military actions that went unchallenged. That only made the belligerents bolder.

Indeed. WW2 was a massive slow-walk into the full war. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.

At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

Lots of people tried to stop it but the material conditions of austerity on Germany post WW1 plus the banks smelling blood in the water kind of made it inevitable from a materialist perspective
