I feel that the "western" civilizations are being lulled into a fight that they will not only lose, but the loss will be intentional on the part of the "leaders". People have been conditioned that the war is not only "winnable", but that victory is assured. After all, the west never loses, right?

However, there are much larger forces at play now. There is now unquestioningly a war against the general public of the western countries by their own governments (the visual of Biden, on "president's day", handing over ther wealth of the taxpayers to a known criminal money launderer while an unprecedented-in-scope disaster in the country where he is said to lead, remains unaddressed, is only the latest blaring air raid siren for the masses) of whose representatives are squarely on the side of destroying conditions for "their own" citizens whilst laundering money through various means to themselves. The ultimate "win" for those "leaders" would be to simply surrender to the opposition, which is, of course, themselves.

It is my prediction that conditions will continue to worsen and weaponry will be depleted while the swords rattle, and then at the proper time, "war" will be declared and the lack of weaponry and the deteriorating infrastructure will put the west in a position where surrender is the "only humane option", and the people will be delivered into a totalitarian state with no nuclear volley and a much smaller war than envisoned, leaving a somwhat pristine landscape for the new rulers to enjoy.
