Why are so many Y!A denizens obsessed with the idea of another world war?

Question

Circumstances change, and what was practical in the 20th Century is no longer a realistic proposition for anybody - unless the world economy collapses and stays collapsed, which looks many many decades off at present if it will ever happen at all.

To ask, for instance, whether there might be a world war over the Crimea, or Syria, is to ignore just about every factor relevant to those situations. Nobody cares enough about either one to destroy their own economies over such matters.

Nor, indeed, about anything else.

such interest is fueled by video games that employ the concept that the world is at war again.  of course real war is not a video game but it gets confusing sometimes to young people.

Well, nobody really cared about a president getting a bj but it turned into a bid deal.  Heck, WWI got started because some archduke no one cares about got shot.  Sometimes things that seem like they aren't worth fighting over are exactly the things people fight over.

It is young kids posting the questions, not adults. They all play Call of Duty computer games and think it is real life.

Lack of education hence always question asking.
