Just to clarify, so there is no misunderstanding . . .
- Armies are in forward positions.
- Scenarios were run through computer simulations (AI to use more trendy expression).
- Alliances were decided and consolidated.
- Legislation was put through legal process.
- Politicians who will run things were selected.
Everything is ready.
Now it is a matter of using an event or creating an event to start WW3. What will be the spark that causes the explosion of war?
I guess scenarios that were run through computers did not give satisfactory results and that is a reason for delays.
But, everything is ready . . . for world war, version 3.
Ukraine was a beta test.
