Now Sweden is going to war?

If everyone is just fighting their neighbor...isn't this still a world war? even if it is over different issues? isn't that the way the other world wars started?

Countries which border Russia are deeply worried at the moment – nobody knows what the Russian butchers will do next.
Although Sweden does not border Russia they have to prepare for a full-scale war. It's horrible. Countries like Sweden have been peaceful for centuries, but we all have an enemy now. Russia is an aggressive enemy 😕

@helenS someone has got to put a bullet in putins brain

@tenente Yes that might save millions of lives.
On the other hand, he may be 100% expendable and perhaps he can be replaced by someone else with ease. Nobody knows how important Putin (as a person) really is. It's not a democracy, we can only speculate.

@helenS Weird how all it takes is some psycho path in charge to start a world war...why do people go along?

@LILY61 I think it's not just one psycho. There's more to it. In the former Soviet Union, there were two powers: the Communist Party, and the secret police (the KGB), which was controlled by the party. The party doesn't exist anymore (essentially), but the KGB still does, albeit under a different name; the Russian secret police has changed its name many times (starting with "Cheka" under Lenin). The current leaders of Russia are a faction of the secret police. If Putin is killed, another one will take his position.
Our enemy is the Cheka, not just one madman.

@helenS fine, but Putin has gone completely off the charts since he got seriously ill. it is like he wants to take everyone with him. if he and the North Korean child were assassinated then maybe people coming into power would be sent a message. Then we wouldn't have this Hitler like threat from atleast two countries.
