    There had to be a World War for Nuremberg to happen. What my fear is instead of World War there will be a World Civil war.

      What is a “world civil war” and how is that different from a world war?

      My understanding is that a “civil war” is a war within a country, for the dominance and rulership of that country, usually over ideals or laws or something. And a world war is just… a worldwide war. I wish my grandparents were still around to seek real advice on this, I truly miss them and their experience and wisdom.

        They will be factions within countries fighting amongst each other. There maybe alliances amongst those factions but no nations against each other. The end an apocalyptic fragments of Nations

      I just thought about ww2, and I just realized how egregious it is that the Japanese and Italians sided with Nazis.

      They thought “yes, mhm, we are on that side”.

        Don’t sell Italy and Japan short.

        Mussolini invented fascism, and did population-scale deployment of chemical weapons in Ethopia… Imperial Japan are absolutely an all-time G.O.A.T of horrific war crimes.

        Their behavior was egregious, and that’s why they sided with the nazis.

        Italy was more of a trapped situation

        Japan pre-nukes however were extremely genocidal fascist, look up some of the stuff they did just before WWII, such as the “Rape of Nanjing”, if anything the Nazis took some inspiration from them
