Despite the main leaders of the West being in denial, World War III is moving along and, like in World War II, unspeakable atrocities are being committed, with the civilian population paying a huge price. Countries that are in the firing line feeling uneasy. Some, such as Finland and Sweden, have woken up and are rushing to join NATO. Those who remember and had suffered a lot last time, such as Poland, have been preparing for a while, and are now preparing their citizens. Poland has issued a handbook for survival during war. On the other side of the world, Taiwan is following events, knowing that it is a matter of when, not if it is attacked. Likewise, it is also preparing and has issued a handbook for its citizens. Rather than crushing the problem at the beginning by stopping Russian aggression, the West is slowly building up to a more major war. This is a repeat of the events of World War II with a change in some of the players.
