What does a French policeman shooting a child have anything to do with a World War? This is all internal to a single country, and one that isn't even in the top 10 most active in current conflicts.

It's partially a joke made out of fear. A nuclear power is at war with a country in Europe right now. Other nuclear powers are actively supporting the defense of the attacked country. Another nuclear power is very likely to launch its own offensive against a little island it claims is it's this decade. Politicians parroting fascist talking points are gaining power all around the world. You can see the cause for the fear, no?

Yes, I can see the cause for fear in all of these events. I also really like bagels.

Are we just stating random facts, or are you going to link this event to the ones you listed in some way?

I mean a state actor gunning down a civilian and getting more public support than the victim sounds pretty linked to the rise in authoritarianism that could very well plunge the world into conflict to me
