Everyone Now Sees WWIII Coming
In a number of articles/videos published over the last 1-2 weeks, many experts are anticipating the “beginning of WWIII”. They see various isolated war-fronts merging. Ukraine recently bombed Iran. Houthis blocked Red Sea shipping. US war ship in an Egyptian port was hit by a drone.
Peter Haenseler wrote in Sonar21 on “The Summer When Peace Died” -
Iran and Russia have come to realize that there can be no peace with the Collective West. Consequently, the conflicts will be fought out on the battlefield and will last a long time. The international legal order is dead, world peace is dead—it is war. World War. Few people are aware of this.

Even the dimwits at CBS news see a “widening war” -
WWIII Actually Began in 2014
As I explained previously, WWIII began in 2014, when Obama pacified Iran with a deal only to start two-front battles in Ukraine and Syria to finally take down Russia. From that point onward, the path was irreversible. Only one side could win and grow.
What triggered the beginning in 2014? It was China’s 2013 announcement of Belt and Road initiative, an ambitious plan to replace the primarily sea routes for trade with land + sea (“belt”) routes. It was a direct assault on global banking and insurance network established by London-based global banks over the centuries. Russia being the largest land connection between Asia and Europe was a critical component in the Chinese initiative. Moreover, it later opened up the Arctic sea routes (check 2018 Arctic silk road initiative).
Everyone now realizes that Covid virus came from a lab, but which lab? According to Ron Unz, it was released by the US government (my opinion: as another front of the continuing war) -
We are in the Final Major Battle of WWIII
The continuing war between the combined West and Russia/China coalition does not appear like WWIII, because most people have been propagandizes by cold war fear porn during 1960s and 70s. In their vision, WWIII would be a 1-hour world-ending battle with USA and USSR lobbing nukes at each other. Anything short of that is not WWIII.
That is why they do not see that WWIII (geostrategic war between US side and Russian side) is actually closer to end than the beginning. Trump lost and has no winning option left. He repeatedly makes major battles announcements on Thursdays, and then TACOs on Sundays.

Feb 7, 2026 - Is Iran War Imminent? What will it Look Like?
As I explained in an earlier post, the Iran was is inevitable. Because of US midterm politics, it has to happen sooner rather than later. Moreover, Trump prefers weekends for his adventures, because it keeps the stock market unperturbed. Maybe Dugin finds this weekend to be special, because the Superbowl will keep Americans distracted.
Irrespective of when the Iran invasion happens, I think its course can be described by the following two models.
Feb 28, 2026 - The Final Major Battle of WWIII Begins
I already explained what this will look like in prior posts.
My expectations -
1. It will start out slowly but gain pace after the Iranian counterstrikes. The entire middle east will get rattled for many months.
2. It will end in USA leaving the middle east for good.
3. Not only will Trump presidency end ignominiously as a result, but US politics will change fundamentally after this war.
Apr 7, 2026 - Iran Won the War
The final war of WWIII is now over, and Iran won (along with Russia and China).
This is not a surprise to our regular readers. We knew the score before the game started.
July 19, 2026 - Iran Already Won the Battle, but USA Needs to Lose
Iran war is heating up again, but I have nothing new to write. Everything stated here in February prior to the Ramadan attack still holds true. Iran (+ Russia + China) decisively won the “final major battle of WWIII”, but US side did not concede defeat yet. It eventually will, and you are seeing efforts to reach that outcome.
