'WW3 HAS begun': No atomic mushroom clouds. No nightmare 'day after' scenario to survive. But military experts explain why they believe the third world war has already started

From the battlefields of Ukraine to the volatile waters of the Indo-Pacific, the fabric of global stability as we hurtle towards 2025 appears frayed, stitched together with little more than fragile diplomacy and the threat of a nuclear winter.

Some analysts now argue that World War III is no longer a distant possibility - it has already begun, just in ways more subtle than Western societies experienced at the start of the 20th century's global conflicts.

The early stages of World War III may not be fought not through the conventional means of tanks and trenches beyond the frontlines of Ukraine, but through hybrid threats, covert battles and ideological jockeying in the digital arena.

National security expert Mark Toth and former US intelligence officer Col. Jonathan Sweet are among those arguing that World War III is already upon us.

'This third global conflagration doesn't look or feel like what Hollywood envisioned,' they claim.

'No mushroom clouds or apocalyptic wastelands. Rather, it is war by a thousand cuts, conducted across multi-regional and multi-domain battlefields.

Here, MailOnline speaks to Sweet and Toth along with military chiefs, former presidents and geopolitical experts to assess whether we are really entering a new period of global attrition.

Unfortunately, the signs are ominous.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Personally, I suspect the new war, which really should be WW IV,  the "Cold War" was WW III, will be fought in slow-motion thanks to nuclear deterrence even as the last one was.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Don't know about you all but I have no worries about a WWIII.  Just bullshit noise from the media.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

There has always been wars.  There will be more.  Nukes have been used and will be used again.  History repeats itself.   :patriot:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
The Asymmetrical war has been going on for some time, in trade, in theft of intellectual materials, some classified, some not, dual use technology, and the general permitting of our education system to be degraded by communist influences and other granfaloonery.
This is the mental/psychological/intellectual preparatory fire before outright invasion, which may have just been conducted.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
