“What amazes me is how there is little to no coverage in the US media.”
Mark Twain said, “War is God’s way of teaching geography to Americans.” He was referring to the fact that Americans, not threatened by invasion since the final war with Britain in 1812, were uninterested in anything beyond local politics. To Americans, local politics is real. International politics is theoretical. The last several presidents are a reflection of America’s turn inward.

WW3 will fail to teach Americans anything then.
This will be a very local war. It won’t be fought by armies facing armies…or even by nuclear exchanges. It will be fought locally in the West with the enemy forces being the massive 5th column that has been embedded throughout Western nations by its own greedy and corrupt governments. It will be a war of large- and small-scale terrorist actions - reminiscent of the Oct. 7 attack in Israel - that will collapse a weak and fragile West.
All of the action will be quite local.
