World War III: Has it Started?

[wayneL]

Interesting commentary, he will be cancelled for sure, no one will want to hear what he has to say. ?
I started a thread 'will China end up owning the World', I think it is only a matter of time, they are much more advanced than Russia and Russia is showing that we really can't do anything to stop them.
I'm not suggesting a war, because really I don't think the West is in any state to fight a war, which country has the ability to gear up its manufacturing to build a war machine to resist China and its manufacturing base?

The yanks do, but....

1) starting from well behind the 8-ball

2) will have to let go of wokeness.... What the Chinese call bai zhou or something like that.

No. 2) is the problem which will hold them back

Inching closer every day. We've never been closer to nuclear war in my lifetime. It feels like the world is on a knife's edge, and the stakes keep getting higher. A direct clash between Russia and NATO almost seems inevitable now. Either Putin is bluffing, or WW III is where we are headed.

There will come a tipping point, and that is when Russia's offensive operations start to crumble. If Putin is going to go nuclear it will happen then. This is a war that Russia isn't prepared to lose and a war that the west isn't prepared to let Russia win. That sort of scenario is bound to get ugly on an unprecedented scale.

Putin’s plot to destroy Nato is reaching its devastating climax

A Russian victory would unleash a cascade of events triggering irreversible changes, pushing the world to the brink of chaos

Will China be strong enough to prevent Putin from unleashing a nuclear weapon on Europe either as a scare tactic or a possible last throw of a dice?

Does Australia Have or Want Nuclear Weapons? Australia does not possess any nuclear weapons and is committed to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. Australia's core obligations as a non-nuclear-weapon state are set out in the NPT. They include a solemn undertaking not to acquire nuclear weapons.

However, America may put pressure on Australia via its territories should Russia unleash a warning strike somewhere in Europe.

Putin and Xi are allies and close friends to the point Putin can speak fluent Chinese and Xi can Russian and both idolise and worship each other

Russia is vital to the success of Chinas belt and road (old Silk Road) as part of the euro Asia pact
So basically almost zero chance of them going at each other

Did Ukraine just bomb Russia with US missiles?

Did Ukraine just bomb Russia with US missiles?

Confirmed.

Other more subtle escalations happening around the shop as well. More than a few high ups are saying we are actually in World war 3 now.

Putin warns Russia could provide weapons to strike West​

3 hours ago
George Wright, BBC News

Putin was speaking to foreign journalists at the annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow could arm countries with a view to attacking Western targets.
Mr Putin made the statement while criticising the West's delivery of long-range weapons to Ukraine.
Several countries including the United States have given Ukraine the green light to strike targets inside Russia.
Such action could lead to “very serious problems", Mr Putin told foreign reporters.

"If someone thinks it is possible to supply such weapons to a war zone to attack our territory and create problems for us, why don't we have the right to supply weapons of the same class to regions of the world where there will be strikes on sensitive facilities of those countries?" the Russian president said. "That is, the response can be asymmetric. We will think about it."

He did not specify which countries Moscow could supply weapons to...
