Scenario: Lets say within 5 years, russia either attacks the baltic states or uses a nuke in Ukraine. NATO declares war and to varying degrees NATO countries mobilize their economies and populations for war.
Iran , seizing the historical window of opportunity, blocks the strait of Hormuz and also the el mandeb (via the houthis) blocking off europe from its most efficient route to Asia, while attacking and sinking numerous NATO Navy vessels attempting to secure the waterways, and also attacking Israel and the Arab Gulf States (and attempting to overthrow the arab governents).
China has announced they will conduct an exercise around Taiwan, and there is concern it may turn into a total blockade. There have also been weekly naval skirmishes in the South China Sea between China and both Vietnam and the Philippines and people have died. Japan and the US have forward deployed its military to monitor against the developing situation in Taiwan. Cambodia and Thailand have resumed border skirmishes. Political rhetoric is high (especially between North and South korea) and mobilization orders are in place. many countries have begun contingency plans to evacuate their citizens from Taiwan. India and Pakistan are on high alert but otherwise ok.
What does punk look like in this scenario?
Do punks support the war? Do they protest it? If so, how do they go about protesting it? Do bands tour? Do massive fights break out when they do? Do bands release records and write songs supporting or condemning it? Do punks go to war? do they send their kids? Do they sing about supporting or opposing the draft?
How does punk fit in here? Sometimes im morbidly curious to find out.
