The world once again is descending into chaos, creating a perfect storm for an upcoming war. Some countries are preparing militarily for this, with large spending on weapons, investment in research of missiles, including space technology, taking over disputed areas such as the Chinese annexation of the South China Sea. War rhetoric is ever increasing from China and Iran, with threats to invade or destroy other countries. Meanwhile the West is tearing itself of part, with a woke culture and drastic measures in response to the prolonged Covid 19 outbreak, which serve to weaken them by dividing and demoralising their population rather than concentrating on unifying people and preparing to counter those who beat the drums of war.
