The military industrial complexes of Russia and the United States (and increasingly so European nations) are business partners. They scare each other's populases enough to make their governments fund more military shit. Julian Assange had it right "the goal is an endless war, not a successful war." There is no big WW3 coming.

Or rather, WW3 looks like we have already seen. Interminable conflicts in many theaters. Not unlike the conflicts described in 1984. Orwell wasn't wrong about the future of war. I do not, however, rule out the possibility of it escalating to something worse.

well, Israel has already shown that they do not want peace by continuing to bomb Gaza and trying to make everyone in that place look like pure heartless monsters.

The Russian military-industrial complex is fully state-controlled (e.g., via Rostec)—in stark contrast to the privately owned and publicly traded companies in the US/EU. Hardly business partners; more like geopolitical rivals. Assange was right about endless wars, but the structures differ fundamentally.

only one nation you listed which allows people to defend themselves and create firearms themselves (in selected states) is the US rest of the “territories” are gun free zones they will get what they paid for but you can keep crying about military industrial complex

Jews make money and the goyim get sent into the meat grinder. Win win for them.
