Who died and left the US $7B?
What are the odds of something like WWII though, compared to the odds it’s all spent by the second generation?

Normally you'd be right, but we are eerily close to a WWIII right now...

We have been "eerily close" to WWIII since the day WWII ended. There's nothing really special about today's situation.

The situation now is much worse than before COVID. That much is obvious. There are two major wars involving developed nations which were not happening then

The fun thing about this war-mongering doom and gloom sentiment is that neither of you are right, yet.
That said, 2 developed nations are at war, and a NATO nation is being substantially threatened.
