Let us hope for peace, but right now leaders all over the globe are being gripped by a really bad case of “war fever”. As I discussed last week, so many of them are openly using the term “World War III” to describe what is coming. Do they really understand what that would mean for humanity? We are so close to the unthinkable, and so you would think that global leaders would be scrambling to find a way out of this mess while it is still possible. But that isn’t happening. Instead, everyone is just becoming even more stubborn, and there has been one escalation after another. If we stay on this path, our world will soon see death and destruction on a massive scale.

In this article, I want to discuss the 3 major conflicts which will define World War III.
One of those conflicts will involve Russia.
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, an agreement which would have ended the war was negotiated. But politicians in the U.S. and the U.K. made it abundantly clear that they would not support the agreement, and so the Ukrainians backed out.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of men and women have died in Ukraine since that time, and most of them have been Ukrainians.
A woman named Maria Mateiciuc recently visited Ukraine, and her sobering assessment of the war has gone viral on social media. I have included her entire post below…
I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends.
Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie.
The reality is darker, bleaker, and unequivocally hopeless. There is no such thing as Ukraine “winning” this war.
– By their estimates, they have lost over one million of their sons, fathers and husbands; an entire generation is gone.
– Even in the Southwest, where the anti-Russian sentiment is long-standing, citizens are reluctant or straight-up scared to publicly criticize Zelensky; they will go to jail.
– In every village and town, the streets, shops, and restaurants are mostly absent of men.
– The few men who remain are terrified of leaving their homes for fear of being kidnapped into conscription. Some have resorted to begging friends to break their legs to avoid service.
– Army search parties take place early in the morning, when men leave their homes to go to work. They ambush and kidnap them off the streets and within 3-4 hours they get listed in the army and taken away straight to the front lines with minimal or no training at all; it is “a death sentence.”
– It’s getting worse every day. Where I was staying, a dentist had just been taken by security forces on his way to work, leaving behind two small children. Every day, 3-5 dead bodies keep arriving from the front lines.
– Mothers and wives fight tooth and nail with the armed forces, beg and plead not to have their men taken away. They try bribing, which sometimes works, but most of the time they are met with physical violence and death threats.
– The territory celebrated as having been “won back” from Russia has been reduced to rubble and is uninhabitable. Regardless, there is no one left to live there and displaced families will likely never return.
– They see the way the war has been reported, at home and abroad. It’s a “joke” and “propaganda.” They say: “Look around: is this winning?”.
– Worse, some have been hoaxed into believing that once Ukrainians forces are exhausted, American soldiers will come in to replace them and “win the war”.There is no ambiguity in these people. The war was for nothing – a travesty. The outcome always was, and is, clear. The people are hopeless, utterly destroyed, and living in an unending nightmare.
They are pleading for an end, any end – most likely the same “peace” that could have been achieved two years ago. In their minds, they have already lost, for their sons, fathers and husbands are gone, and their country has been destroyed. There is no “victory” that can change that.
Make no mistake, they are angry with Putin. But they are also angry with Zelensky and the West. They have lost everything, worst of all, hope and faith, and cannot comprehend why Zelenky wishes to continue the current trajectory, the one of human devastation.
I didn’t witness the war; but what I saw was absolutely heart-breaking.
Shame on the people, regardless of their intentions, who have supported this war. And shame on the media for continuing to lie about it.
Everything that she has said is true.
So much of the death and destruction that we have witnessed could have been avoided.
But now there is no end in sight for this war. The Russians are on the march, and each day they are gaining additional territory.
And Russian politicians are in no mood for peace at this stage. For example, just consider something that Dmitry Medvedev just said…
Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has said Ukrainians “must make the choice between being part of Russia or death,” in one of his most belligerent statements since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, has made previous outlandish threats directed against Ukraine and its Western allies.
In a post on Telegram, Medvedev added that Ukrainians must choose between “eternal war and inevitable death and life.” He added: “They [Ukrainians] will understand that life in a large common state, which they do not like very much now, is better than death. Their deaths and the deaths of their loved ones. And the sooner Ukrainians realize this, the better.”
As the Russians gain more ground, Ukrainian leaders are going to become increasingly desperate to find a way to draw the U.S. directly into the war.
I believe that at some point the U.S. and Russia will be directly shooting at one another, and that will truly be a nightmare scenario.
Of course I am not the only one warning of such a thing. In fact, a top NATO official just warned of a full-blown war with Russia “in the next 20 years”…
