History really does like to repeat itself. Take WWII for example:
-US economic downturn (1929 Great Depression)
-Germany rearms (1935 military buildup)
-Japanese PM assassinated (1936)
-Soviet Union goes to war (1939 Winter War with Finland)
-UK Prime Minister steps down (1940 Chamberlain)
-Blitzkrieg on Poland
Now:
-US economic slowdown (inflation surging)
-Germany announces big military spending boost
-Former Japanese PM assassinated (Abe)
-Russia launches full-scale war (Ukraine)
-UK Prime Minister steps down (Johnson)
-…
History may rhyme, but peace is never easy — and never to be taken for granted.
