I’ve been warning for two years about NATO putting itself on an escalator toward World War III. Many people thought I was a little over the top in my analysis, but now suddenly I’m not feeling so alone in my assessment.
Over the last several weeks and months, many other astute observers have finally taken off the blinders, opened their eyes and acknowledged just how close we are to the point of no return in the rush to war with the world’s largest nuclear-armed country, Russia.
I can’t tell you how many times in recent weeks I’ve read or heard comparisons to the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The only difference is back then we had sane American leaders who realized the importance of diplomacy and talking directly with our adversaries in order to avoid a devastating nuclear exchange.
Some Westerner commentators, even some very smart ones, still deny that nuclear war is a real possibility in today’s world, or if it is, it’s very remote. My sense is that it’s not remote at all, given the leadership we now have in Washington.
If what we’ve seen so far is any indication, the Third World War will start as a conventional war between the U.S./NATO and Russia and quickly escalate to nuclear warheads exploding on military and civilian targets.
Why to I believe this?
It doesn’t matter if you like Putin, hate Putin or are indifferent towards Putin, there are some indisputable facts:
- Putin is a popular nationalist leader with the backing of 70 percent or more of the Russian people who believe NATO has become an offensive, existential threat to Russia’s existence.
- It is also a fact that NATO has expanded greatly over the past 20 years, against Putin’s clear warnings about how that could destabilize East-West relations. Just in the last year, NATO has added Finland and Sweden to its ranks, while treating Ukraine as if it is a de facto NATO partner and promising to make it an official member sooner rather than later. This completes the surrounding of Russia’s western flank by hostile countries, all of which will host Western military assets.
- Fact number three: Given Russia’s history of being invaded three times from the West, each time through the area of Ukraine, Putin will not let it happen a fourth time. He will blow up Europe and the U.S. before he lets his country be invaded and conquered by globalist puppet politicians in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin. So, if these puppet politicians persist in poking the bear, there will be no winners. We will all suffer and many of us will die, either instantly or slow and painfully via nuclear fallout.
Opposition to nuclear war would seem to be the one issue that could unite the right and left in today’s divided America. We see the left protesting the war in Gaza while ignoring the war in Ukraine, when it’s this European theater that presents the most imminent threat to human life. The American right is always asleep and living in a false sense of security, so that’s no surprise.
Below is an excellent analysis by economist and attorney James Rickards explaining how we got to this point and why it’s not likely to end well.
By James Rickards at The Daily Reckoning
The steady path toward World War III continues. U.S. and NATO support for Ukraine in the war with Russia has been one long failure, but that hasn’t stopped them from escalating the war with new weapons and tactics.
Russia has met the escalation with its own escalation every step of the way. At what point do rational leaders in the West (if there are any left) pause, consider that the war is lost in Ukraine, deescalate and seek a treaty to end the war?
There’s no sign of that yet. In fact, all of the signs point to further escalation, which is a sure path to nuclear war. What good has escalation accomplished?
The West supplied Ukraine with HIMARS precision-guided artillery, but that largely failed because the Russians quickly learned how to jam the GPS guidance systems, so the missiles went off course.
That doesn’t mean the Russians shoot down or jam every HIMARS rocket Ukraine launches. Some will always get through. But overall, their effectiveness has been limited compared with expectations.
The U.S. and NATO also supplied Ukraine with Abrams, Leopard and Challenger tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have been left burning on the battlefield. They also require intensive maintenance Ukraine can’t necessarily provide, and are often unsuited for the battlefield conditions in Ukraine. Many Ukrainian soldiers have actually expressed a preference for Russian-made equipment over NATO’s.
Not Wonder Weapons
Meanwhile, the Patriot anti-missiles systems cannot shoot down Russian hypersonic missiles and have been destroyed one-by-one at a cost of $1 billion each. F-16s are the next wonder weapon promised. But Russia fields the most sophisticated air defense system in the world. Many planes will be shot down by Russian S-400 anti-aircraft batteries and other systems.
These planes are also old, obsolete models from NATO inventories at the end of their service lives. And they can’t even be flown by Ukrainian pilots since they barely read English (the training manuals and maintenance manuals are all in English) and have not had enough time to train.
It takes about two years to become a competent F-16 fighter pilot; the Ukrainians have barely had six months to learn. F-16s are also unsuited for the often rugged airfield conditions in Ukraine (they require pristine runways so debris doesn’t get sucked into their engines on takeoff).
They can be operated from NATO bases but that opens another can of worms.
NATO’s Latest Harebrained Scheme
What’s the next harebrained scheme from NATO? Here’s the latest example. The U.S. and its allies have green-lighted missile attacks deep inside Russia using U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles with a range of up to 190 miles.
These attacks have hit civilian targets such as the Russian city of Belgorod and critical military targets such as the Russian nuclear missile radar warning arrays. Both types of attacks are prompting a severe Russian response, including the final destruction of the entire Ukrainian power grid.
The attack on Russia’s early warning system is particularly provocative. Ukraine used U.K.-supplied drones to strike this radar system used by Russia to detect incoming nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The U.S. and Russia already adhere to what’s called the “launch on warning” doctrine. This means that if you detect incoming nuclear missiles, you don’t wait for them to hit their targets.
Instead, you launch your counterattack as soon as you detect the missiles. When it comes to nuclear war, it’s use it or lose it.
That puts the world on a hair trigger. Hitting a radar facility that’s part of a nuclear defense creates a blind spot in that defense and makes the hair trigger even more sensitive and launch prone.
And while Ukraine may have technically launched the missiles into Russia, it could not have done so without precise targeting data provided by the U.S. and its NATO allies. How do you think the U.S. would react if Mexico attacked U.S. targets using targeting data provided by Russia? It would directly implicate Russia and hold it responsible.
Here’s another question: Why would Ukraine attack this radar system at all? Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear missiles so it has no reason to compromise Russia’s nuclear defenses. The radar has no impact on the ground war in Ukraine. It wasn’t an airfield or ammo depot or any other militarily relevant target.
This plan is just another example of dangerous escalation by the U.S. and NATO and moves the world one step closer to nuclear war. Ukraine is all too happy to comply.
“Don’t Worry!”
Proponents of escalation dismiss these concerns, saying we’ve already crossed multiple “red lines” and Russia hasn’t directly retaliated against us. Maybe against Ukraine, but not us. We can therefore go ahead and cross another red line, the Russians won’t do anything.
First off, that just provides more evidence that Vladimir Putin isn’t some bloodthirsty maniac who can’t be deterred. He obviously can be, and clearly recognizes the dangers of escalation. He doesn’t want war with the U.S. and NATO. Why would he?
Secondly, and more importantly, NATO’s arming and equipping of Ukraine was never a red line for Russia. Western observers simply assumed that providing HIMARS, ATACMSs and tanks would be red lines for Russia. But Russia never specifically said they were. They warned about the overall threat of escalation, but these weren’t specific red lines.
But direct attacks on Russian soil are a different matter. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Putin himself have issued specific warnings about NATO facilitation of attacks within Russia itself. That’s the difference. Here’s what Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, had to say:
Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries. This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us. And such actions could well become a casus belli. Nobody today can rule out the conflict’s transition to its final stage.
It doesn’t take a genius to understand what he means by the conflict’s “final stage.” Now, Medvedev often issues provocative statements. But listen to the comments of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. It’s about as strongly worded as a diplomatic statement can get:
I would like to warn American leaders against miscalculations that could have fatal consequences. For unknown reasons, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they may receive.
Except the reasons aren’t unknown. It’s because the West is led by incompetent and reckless people who don’t know what they’re doing. They don’t understand that they’re playing with fire.
How Nuclear War Starts
I began studying nuclear war fighting in 1969 and have continued my studies for decades, which includes all the leading thinkers about nuclear war. While the experts disagree in certain respects, they all agree on one thing:
The most likely path to nuclear war is escalation. No one wakes up and says, “Nice day for a nuclear war. Let’s start one.”
Instead, war will be the result of a process of one side raising the stakes, the other side responding in kind and escalating further and so on in successive rounds until one party is backed into a corner and has no choice but to use nuclear weapons in an existential response.
Ironically, in that situation, the party that is less threatened may actually start the nuclear war in order to get the first-strike advantage. The result is annihilation: not just World War III, but possibly the end of most human life on Earth. Those that survive would probably wish they hadn’t.
This is incomprehensible. Ukraine is trying to drag the U.S. directly into the war with U.S. boots on the ground. Events may not get that far.
We may be destroyed in a nuclear World War III if this reckless escalation continues. Will anyone stop it?

I find it interesting that no one is even interested in how ancient nuclear fear porn really is.
Nuke fear has outlived polio and AIDS, the New Ice Age (1970s), and the New Global Warming Age (ongoing). It’s into 80 years almost, therefore older than most humans now living.
It’s the perfect boogyman. No proof beyond a rack of ancient rotting movie films showing sunrises, gas fires, and whatever the hell else.
They hit the Fear Porn Jackpot in 1945. Like Satan, it can never die now.
“I’ve been warning for two years about NATO putting itself on an escalator toward World War III. Many people thought I was a little over the top in my analysis, but now suddenly I’m not feeling so alone in my assessment….”
Blah blah blah blah….
“Upgrade to paid”
Only two years?
I’ve been warning about this for over 20yrs, and I’ve made countless comments about Nazi UKs almost secret war against Russia and Putin.
I used to talk intermsnof the great convergence of tipping points, that’s all the tipping points within a relatively confined period of time.
Just the other day, Russia became officially the 4th largest economy. The UK must be down in 10th place by now.
China, US (huge? mark), Japan, Russia, Germany, France or Brazil, Italy, & then it gets merky.
Back in 2010, Chinese state media were taking the piss, saying total US GDP was around $5.5 trillion. After 2008, the CIA Fact Book failed to show any decline in US GDP. So fair to assume, US economic data isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, and we can say the same about the UK.
Meanwhile, Japan has been burning its economy down, just to lube the US debt machine and aid the big bust banks.
Things are so bad for the NWO Satanic Nazi West, that the Russian Ruble is now regarded as a top currency, if not the No1 currency in the world.
In contrast, US military clout peaked in the 1990s, and has declined alarmingly. It’s the same in bankrupt Britain. Both, combined, can’t deal with the Houties, and we have Russia offering to dish out advanced long range weapons. Putin has already given North Korea some very advanced Russian nukes, with the ICBMs and tech to launch them, and can hit any part of the Nazi empire.
It’s also been suggested Russia could put missiles in Cuba. Don’t be fooled by fake history, the Soviets won the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The best way to guarantee they’re in their bunkers when nuclear war starts is to get in their bunkers then start it. One thing that probably helps them is increased Russian warnings about a nuclear attack so that gives them grounds for a false flag. Emotions over such a traumatic event will override most people’s reason as to why Russia didn’t do it, it’s a FF, so the only consideration is who and what do they target?
They can’t attack a pro-Russia east European country because that’s too far from us westerners who they need to traumatise, and who would believe Russia did that? So it surely has to be an anti-Russia target in western Europe. British politicians are rotten to the core and our dreadful class system operates almost as a caste system so they may volunteer a poor part of Britain to take the hit, somewhere they can claim is a centre of industry or innovation. Somewhere like Liverpool or Manchester where few people vote for establishment parties. It’ll cull a lot of opposition voters and maybe turn others into supporters.
I’ve tried to get through to DUMB Yanks, THICK Brits & EuroFCKTARDS before… albeit to absolutely NO AVAIL!
Nevertheless, I feel obliged to give one LAST WARNING… in the hope – no doubt vain! – that the “penny might drop” in the craniums of at least some of the ZOG Zombie cretins that pass for “citizens” of (((The West))). To Wit:
If you’re a native of The West your (((Government))) wants you D E A D.
Since VaXXXtermination and the Third World Invasion/Population-Replacement Program appear to be behind schedule…
the Synagogue Of Satan’s “U$$A/ZOGUK/EUSSR Axis Of ZOG” franchise has determined that the best way to expeditiously “Wipe Out Whitey” – with “plausible deniability” of culpability! – is to goad Russia into “doing the deed”… by delivering the Mother Of All ‘Coup De Nukes”… which renders those “on the receiving-end” into heaps of ash… all the better to be blown away in the wind… as if Whitey never existed.
Thought you might like to know that those Deagel ‘Population Forecast’ numbers also jive with this assessment of what lies in store for The West… by NO LATER than 2025..
ANY questions.. like “Is it worth booking a summer-holiday for next year?” 🤔
How do you stop a nuke war? Release the dogs (demons) during three days of darkness. You will not even hear the warmongers scream as their throats are ripped out.
WRONG Rickards is a Dickheadz.
It will be WWIII. It’ll quickly blow
BUT NO NUKES MR DUKEZ.
It will be Ze JEWS DEWS mow West
They are going mass genocide us then get us to blame other Whites.
So Frigging obvious.

“We may be destroyed in a nuclear World War III if this reckless escalation continues. Will anyone stop it?”
If the author is looking for DUMB Yanks or THICK Brits to have even a moment of self-reflection and utter so much as a “peep of protest” to their respective (((Regimes))) at the prospect of being annihilated…
I’m afraid he’d have better luck expecting a rocking-horse to win the Grand National AND the Kentucky Derby….
in the SAME season! 😂
the americans are great at pushing others into wars
the american jews pushed the UK toward war with germany in ww 2
they think others will fight rusia and they only supply the arms
but the USA has very bad karma
the destruction of the USA is imminant
the only freind it has in the wold is the YK
an no one here wants to be involved, in fact they are vany much against israel
for its human rights abuses
The nukes are less effective than advertised
Russia IS not an opponent to nwo/us, they are partners
For the information of the readers on this sight War is the last tool in the kit of the Globalists. Everything is a farce. Twenty years ago I was in a restaurant and had a conversation with a young German citizen at the table next to me. I asked him what it was like to be on the front line of the next war. He responded: “My family isn’t worried because we get a phone call from Moscow three days before it starts. Then we fly to British Columbia”. Nothing in geopolitics happens by accident.
when an article that mentioned possible nuclear war, the Zionist shills invade the comment section and claim ‘ancient nuclear fear porn’ while the Jewish owned MSM ‘Putin’s bluff’. public awareness and public discourse is most feared by those who enslave the western world. children and women genocide in palatine is also a distraction to turn us to nuclear ash quality.
all antiwar demonstration was a controlled program to train the masses when to go out to the street otherwise there should be mother of all demonstration today than ever before the nuke arrives.
The people who are in charge of both sides of the conflict are once again, all on the same side. When you go marching away to defend our freedom, you really are an idiot
The globalists want a nuclear war – albeit not an all-out exchange, which even they would be unlikely to survive. A limited exchange would dramatically reduce the population and collapse all national governments and infrastructures, thereby paving the way for One-World government. However, once the nuclear genie is out the bottle, there will be no way of holding it back, something that the delusional lunatics now at the helm cannot see.
Let’s get honest here.
Other than saving a few people, the buildings, art and architecture; who wouldn’t love to see the scum in Tel Aviv, London, Washington, New York City Paris and LA go up in mushroom clouds?
A well managed nuclear exchange could be the perfect quick and easy way to get the reset they want.
The problem is, the wrong people will be choosing the targets.
The “fear porn”/”no such things as nukes”/”Putin’s bluffing” jew trolls should be banned from wasting bandwidth here.
@Harold Smith
Please give an extended list of who should be “allowed” to post according to yourself. Seriously…
Give a list of “permitted” beliefs.
Maybe we should ban English translations of the Bible, or the works of Darwin, or anything criticising modern medicine. After all, you as the King of The Universe KNOWS what is right and what is wrong.
I believe nukes are a hoax. What’s more after several years here, it seems to me the brightest people know this. Maybe we should go back to the Latin mass or better still, return to the trees with the hope of reversing evolution — if this was the process — and becoming a knuckle dragging buffoon like you?
How can you expect people who have examined this honestly and spending time on it be expected to retreat to your ignorance? If everyone had to retreat to what the lowest common denominators believed, where would we be?
You are welcome to your own belief system, but why on earth do you believe your view of the world is the only view that should be allowed?
Have you ever examined the evidence? I can’t unlearn what I believe I know just to be able to swing from the same tree branch as you…
Harry Smith, I see what ya did there, the Jew switcheroo where the best insult it call the goy a Jew. The goyim know, shut it down!
In a world full of Jews telling the goyim they’re minutes away from being blown to bits by Jew invented New Clear Bombs, for the last eighty years, it drives you to distraction that a few goyim point out they never existed. That it’s all a Jewish hoax, to control the masses, to rob them blind, to keep them from looking at the filth which infests every nook and cranny of government.
For 26 years, Netanyahu went on about how Iran was just weeks away from Getting The Bomb! So bomb the hell out of Iran you doity Merkin goyim!!!!! Even he knew when to give it a rest.
Putin went all ass kissery whenever Kissinger came to town, he is a pathetic tool of Chabad and grovels before Klaus Schwab. He’s the best head waiter Russian Jews ever had. And he also does bar mitzvahs. One of his daughters married a full on Lubavitcher. The other one scooted to Merika and asked for asylum where Trump is the biggest ass kisser the Jews ever had and Trump has twenty five Jewish grandchildren! All of his wives appear to be Jewish. Biden, married to a Jewess, was photographed kneeling before Lubavitcher Jews and all of his spawn married Jews.
all no nukes existers have not studied all
the scientific, military + political history
of the matter + are in my humble opinion
green young idiots or leaded by some
background manipulators for mystic aims .
my christian latina also hates when I speak
about the devil . she believes that the devil dont
exists + wants stay in this comfortness .
