There's actually 161 active conflicts around the world right now where bullets are being fired and explosions are going off.

When you look at each of those conflicts, it's not just one group against another group in the same country or even across a state boundary.

It's multiple countries engaged in supporting one side or another side proxy conflicts.

Right now in the United States, we're focused on Israel, we're focused on Ukraine and Afghanistan, Russia, and then sometimes we're focused on something else.

When people think World War III, the common misconception is that a nuclear weapon must be used.

If you're waiting for a nuclear weapon to go off, that's not going to be World War III.

It's a whole different evolving landscape, and that's what we need to understand.

And I don't think our chances of a nuclear weapon going off are getting less each year.

I actually think they're getting to be more each year, but I don't know why people think

It's going to look like a thermonuclear weapon being launched from a missile silo and going off in the middle of a first world country.

That's not what it's going to look like.

Israel's M.O.

is to do incredibly brazen acts of violence and take public credit for it and then air footage and everything else because they know that there's a fear mongering element that deters its enemies even further.

Whereas China goes in and just breaks everything and they don't really care if they get caught and Russia doesn't want to get caught.

The United States also doesn't want to get caught, which is why the United States denies everything.

It seems to me like we have more indicators that we are in a world war rather than we are not in a world war.
