Combined with the other ongoing conflicts it really feels like we’re in a WW3 era

Sadly history is a very poorly studied topic.

I look at European leaders and they don't seem to remember it any better.

The best way to teach history would be to make politicians dig slit trenches and then shell them for a few days. Anything less than that people will always end up regurgitating ethno nationalist bullshit or "geopolitics".

I don't see why you think that. That didn't work for Hitler, Göring, and the countless numbers of WW1 veterans in the SA and SS hungry for another try.
