I'm much more careful what I write and publish now than before the Ukraine war. Why?

 Because I lived through the Cold War as a younger man from my childhood on until 1991 when it finally ended with the Collapse of the Soviet Union because it went bankrupt from the Afghanistan War and from too low an Oil price caused then by Saudi Arabia. It's one reason why Saudi Arabia doesn't want to lower the price again because they don't want Putin to Attack them somehow next. Especially, now he has part of the Ukraine since 2014 and Syria and Iran in his back pocket. Russia has been attacking Saudi Arabia through a proxy war through the Houthis supplied by Iran for some time even with missiles so they are afraid to offend Russia right now because they know Putin hates them and want revenge on them for the Fall of the Soviet Union. So, this war with the Houthis supplied by Iran is likely funded somewhat by Russia since Iran, Syria and Russia are all allies (generally speaking). But, this alliance is likely Only regarding middle Eastern problems as far as Syria and Iran are concerned.

So, because I lived through the Cold War from the time I was born until I was in my 40s I'm very careful now what I put online because 100 million people died in the Cold War including people assassinated in the U.S. and throughout the world. And if you are a mature person you might want to think about what I"m saying here regarding whatever you publish online during these times when nuclear war is NOT unthinkable during these times.

I would say presently from living through the Cold War from birth to my early 40s that Nuclear war of some kind in the next 5 to 10 years is a 50 50 possibility the way things are presently going.

In other words there is a 50% possibility that Russia will nuke Ukraine, Europe or the U.S. (or all three) sometime during the next 10 years if Putin stays in power and doesn't disappear or die before then.
