[ April 24, 2024 ]
President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” philosphy has thrown the globalists of the world into a state of upheavel and anger — so much so that some on the world stage are actually talking about the potential for World War III, and mapping out the scenarios they see as possibly unfolding.
Among the hand-wringing by global powers: Trump has committed to sending more troops to Afghanistan. Trump’s rhetoric has stoked angry North Korea fires. And Trump’s no-nonsense and military-minded Cabinet is not diatmetrically opposed to taking the fight to the battle field — unlike the former Barack Obama administration.
So World War III on the horizon?
Story continues below advertisement
Some are preparing.
The Express reports:
The North Korea crisis, the fight against ISIS, the war in Syria and the conflict in Libya have a ‘critical’ impact on US interests, according to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
The Taliban in Afghanistan, tensions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea dispute are also given ‘critical’ status by the New York-based think tank.
The map below shows the 18 conflicts identified by CFR’s conflict tracker as having a ‘critical’ or ‘significant’ impact on American interests.
These ‘critical’ conflicts are likely to trigger US military involvement or threaten the supply of critical strategic resources.
In contrast, the ‘significant’ conflicts affect countries that have strategic importance but do not involve a mutual defence treaty commitment.
The war in Afghanistan has been thrown back into the spotlight after Donald Trump agreed to send as many as 4,000 extra troops to Afghanistan.
The Taliban is now believed to control more territory than at any time since America invaded Afghanistan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
Since then, ISIS has replaced al-Qaeda as the world’s most feared terrorist group after taking over swathes of war-torn Syria and neighbouring Iraq.
The war in Syria divides the world with Russia and Iran supporting Assad but the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others in the region backing the anti-Assad rebels.
In contrast, the North Korea is isolated and only wields power on the global stage due its advancing nuclear weapons development.
North Korea’s state media has pointed out the downfall of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi came after he gave up developing nuclear weapons.
The recent war of words between Mr Trump and Kim Jong-un has sparked fears that tensions could lead to conflict or even World War 3.
While the US is encouraging China to put more pressure on its trading partner North Korea, it is also trying to resolve the South China Sea dispute.
CFR says: “Territorial and jurisdictional disputes in the South China Sea continue to strain relations between China and other countries in Southeast Asia, risking a military escalation.”
There are also tensions between China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea.
Although not included on the CFR map, China is now demanding that India pulls back troops from the Doklam plateau – a contested region high in the Himalayas.
Meanwhile, the crisis between Qatar and four Arab countries is straining a Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s government in a two-year war against Iranian-aligned Houthis.
In June, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE cut ties with Doha. Qatar rejects accusations that it funds extremist groups.
At the heart of the crisis is the accusation that Qatar supports the Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt and is an affiliate of the Islah party in Yemen.
Elsewhere, there are long-running conflicts between India and Pakistan and Israel and Palestine while the conflict in Ukraine could damage US-Russia relations.

None of these will lead to WW 3. Only real war is within US/EU that is already on but nobody in power understands or want to recognise. even if they do they have no clue where to start .
After the Latest Jihadi attacks Most Pro-Islam Left/liberal Leaders would not even talk about “Islamic terrorist” http://bit.ly/2idyQrO
Because they are deliberately covering up and only way to fight back is to speak the truth and call out these Leaders as Islamonazi jihadi apologist/enablers and not elect them if citizens value their life/country.

None of this is by accident. Our leaders are not ignorant, nor are they in denial about the reality of the Muslim invasion being suppressed by them, their globalist bosses and their leftist media. THEY ARE COMPLICIT.

It seems to me that there is no doubt that our planet is in crisis. It is all related to what I have always believed, those in power will do everything necessary to keep that power and control over people who do no have any power. When one analyzes the outlined conflicts that are affecting this world, one can easily come to the conclusion that it is the protection of power and control that is motivating the many individuals and factions that will never give up their dominating controlling ways. Even in the U.S.A. we have that same conduct emanating from the liberals supported by the media, and then there is the ultra right, who have allowed their bigotry and racism to run amok. The Islamic’s who have lost the ability to claim that their belief system is one of peace due to the fact that they have allowed the terrorists to commit acts of horror, while the terrorists insanely claim that they are doing the work of some Deity. We see militant conflict from the left whenever they purposely organize to oppose any opportunity by others to speak what they believe is their truth, as seems to be the case prior to and following the incident at Berkeley. I also see those in our own congress who are participating in this avenue of power control. They will do everything they can to hold on to their power by retaining their offices, but seem unable to determine what is right for the citizens that they all represent. Because of that I have always believed that the opportunity to be political was never expected to be a full time permanent job, and I have supported term limits and restrictions on the ability to lobby. To me that is what we are all facing, here internally and externally from leaders who will never give up any control to their people, such as Un of North Korean, China’s leaders, Russia’s leaders, etc. We are now living in a very dangerous world, and I do fear a conflagration is just around the corner unless we can somehow change the concepts that activate the need to retain power at all cost by those who presently wield that power. It will take some form of miraculous event to right what does seem to be a sinking ship.

The globalist schemes are causing more chaos in this world that they solve.
Globalist control freaks are not near as smart as they think they are.
A lot of our problems are the direct result of their “best” thinking.
They should be marginalized in the decision making process.

I think the cure for global warming is ridding the world of all the Islamic Nations, and pushing Islam into the annals of history. Removing these terrorists from the world will reduce CO2 enough to bring our CO2 levels below normal.

There is no global warming. Until we see the raw data, before it is manipulated and massaged by socialist environmentalists who hate the USA, we have no valid evidence.

There can never be a world at peace as long as their is the cult of (Islam) submit or get raped, stabbed, car crashed, suicide bombed.
Islam if it persists will create global warming by setting the planet on literal fire.

Empty threats from idiots who can not afford to go to war
because even they know they wouldn’t survive.
Silly saber rattling by jerks who haven’t an iota of
testicular fortitude.
Would these morons prefer pre-emptive surrender instead ?

“The Taliban is now believed to control more territory than at any time
since America invaded Afghanistan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in
2001.” Um, so WTF have we been doing there for 16 years now, besides letting things like this happen.

We’ve been protecting the poppy fields so heroin could become an epidemic and recreate a 9/11 every two weeks in the U.S…All so a few politicians and businessmen can get wealthy.

It is inevitable that islam will make a move to take over western europe which will spill over into other countries with large muslim populations deciding that it is time for islam to rule. The resistance will be sporadic, but increasing as the fruits of islam, violence, disease and starvation manifest themselves. There will be no front line, the battle will be fought everywhere.

It is in the qur’an, though most of the qur’an is gibberish, there are enough fanatical muslims, who follow the “Santa Claus” image of alice, thinking that they will be given dominion over the world. A qur’anic version of the tower of babel myth mixed in with the apple tree in the garden of Eden as well.

When the Umma occurs wars will escalate as there will be no western milch cow to milk and no one left to parasitize and Islam will turn on itself(as it has been doing since 632 AD) and there will be < 1 billion humans in 100 years and <100 million in 200 yrs. islam cannot exist without a host.

“…Israel and Palestine…”
Referring to the collective of the Antisemitic / blood thirsty / parasitic / failing Arabs that infest Gaza, Judea & Samaria as “Palestinians” that are or ever will dwell in a territory that would be recognized as a state called “Palestine”, is a very very big assumption
At best, I would rephrase that to “…Israel and the Palestinians…” as the “two state solution” is dead (there is a vast, irreconcilable chasm between what Israel is willing to give the Palestinians and the delusional demands / expectations of the “Palestinians” + the “Palestinian” society is irreparably divided + the regional situation precludes any ability of Israel to give away any degree of control in areas that are vital to it’s security) and the only solution at this point, that might remotely be doable, is autonomous Palestinian rule (with a police force but with out an army) in parts of the “west Bank” (Ares A, B and parts of area C for continuity) as part of a confederation with Jordan, with the Palestinian Capital, being Ramalla
After the 82 year old retired terrorist Abbas (“Abu-Mazen”) croaks, (hopefully soon!) and with nobody to replace him (Hamas will probably take over the “West bank”…), the “Two State Solution” will be totally, 100% irrelevant and the “Palestinians”, if they want to ever have a normal life, will have to drastically change their mind set and reduce their delusional demands / expectations, dramatically!

As soon as western handouts cease and they have to actually work to feed, clothe, shelter themselves, the supposed “Palestinians” will place food before jihad. the bleeding hearts in the west have subsidized these tools since 1948 and the left is to blame for that as well. Even before the west came to the ME it was dark age warfare there and dictatorships so no rubbish about it all “being the fault of whitey” as it was an Islamic hell hole long before they did.

AbbASS is not retired, he is just as much a terrorist now as when he helped fun and plan the 1972 Munich Olympic Games Massacre, now he is just better at looting.

THIS is the “you shall hear of wars and rumors of war” phase. So the END is not yet.
The end comes when North Korea falls so that the TRUE Gospel gets preached to the LAST nation on earth NEVER to have HEARD the TRUE Gospel.
Methinks the fat boy (the only one in Korea it seems) will be outed in a coup of some kind or limited but EXTREME military destruction.

Wars and rumours of wars… Thus it has always been, and always will be for the foreseeable future. I remember one time when I was young and suffered a spell of unemployment, I got hooked on the History Channel. I watched that for a month or so solid, every day for hours, and witnessed the entire history of civilization unfold before my eyes, astonished. I learned that the history of mankind is endless war, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

Which of those 18 potential conflicts were originated by the Trump administration? Not a damn one. Every single one is some mismanaged pot of fish which he inherited and now intends to correct, no advocate of “kicking the can down the road” he.
Recently, the “National Enquirer”, which has of late been giving the corrupt lamestream media a run for its money, printed a very unlikely scenario that identified five most likely places where the US could precipitate WWIII with a five front attack, some amphibious. You would have search the mental institutions on five continents for that sort of fantasy. Never happen.
