Nobody wanted bloody murderous Bolsheviks to kill millions of Russians. The Bolsheviks unleashed the Red Terror and killed millions of Russians. (Despite everyone in Russia was fighting them)
Nobody wanted 3 decades consisted of two World Wars in a row. "We're going to war whether you like it or not" -- the Warmongering trolls said to the rulers of the world. And the 3 decade long world wars occurred anyways.
Now back to the present day:
At least in America or Europe, nobody wanted the neverending covid world to materialize. The enemy still runs at full cycle as if nobody is standing in their way anymore. (And in some places, the enemy is completely unopposed)
The Omicron scare mongering is a proof that they now believe that all opposition ceased to exist.
Are we any different now from what we are in Russia 1917 or World War II? The arms and knowledge might be better, but when the people refuse to change -- having been overestimated their boundaries and refusing to look back at the past (where EVERYONE FOUGHT TO THE BITTER END but still failed and for good reasons), the results are inevitably the same.
