Welcome to Politics by Faith, brought to you by Public Square.

Stop doing business with people who hate you.

So we did a TV show recently, a special on the Cold War 2.0, which I believe we're living in right now, particularly with China, but really just

on the eve of a World War III. You think we'll say to this, I come here to get rid of anxiety,

not to have more, and I know we'll relieve some of here. Just some things we need to know.

We talked about in the special that all of history is the history of empires.

Empires rise and empires fall.

We had a World War I and then World War II and people don't think we'll have a World War

Of course we will.

They called World War I the war to end all wars.

And 21 years later, they had another one.

So in the first segment of the special, we broke down six little mini wars.

Wars kind of like Russia versus Ukraine, little skirmishes and small wars that led to World War I.

And it took 44 years from the first of these

until World War I ultimately broke out.

And I would argue that we are following the same path right now.

It just is taking longer than we imagined it would.

So we talked about that.
