Has World War III Already Begun?

World War III is not going to look likeWorld War II zielinski is on the recordsaying America is going to have to sendtheir their sons and daughters over hereto fight and die alongside with us Chinaknows that they're one of the primarysources for funding Russia so they candefinitely lean into Putin and say heywe're going to give you an out thatsaves face we're going to protect yourego and protect your country by givingyou a ceasefire agreement that benefitsRussiaa lot of peoplethink that the Ukraine Russia conflictis going to develop into World War IIIwhat do you think about that I thinkwe're probably already in World War IIIto be honest world World War III is notgoing to look like World War II we weretalking about this a little bit earlierwith the idea of proxy warsproxy wars are a tool that superpowersuse to fight against each other withoutexpending their own human liveswe've been in proxy wars since 2012.Syria Afghanistan I'm sorry Syria Yemenuh Libya we're all proxy wars and thoseare just the major proxy wars we're noteven talking about some of the wars thatyou've seen in in Thailand in Myanmarconflicts that have happened all acrossLatin America coups and Africathey're all smaller less less newsworthyproxy wars and Americans are totallyblind to it in many ways I would arguethat we're already in the beginningphases of World War III and World WarIII looks like proxy war between theworld's largest economies which thoseeconomies are starting to band togetherright World War II was defined by axisand allies remember that you had you hadItaly and Germany Nazi Germany and Japanall working together with some othercountries and then you had the UK andthe Americans and the Australians allworking together with countries likeRussia and Chinaas the Allied Powers we're alreadyseeing that happen now you're seeing itin the U.N you're seeing it with NATOyou see Russia ChinaIran North Korea coming closer andcloser together pulling turkey intotheir own sphere of influence you seePoland uhGermany the UK the United States Canadaall pulling together right and you seethese the countries the world itselfdividing along these axis and and AlliedPowers againthat's to me signs that the world isalready preparing for a long-termengagement a long-term War the war justwon't look like nuclear weapons andbombers taking over cities it's going tolook like a straw a line of third worldcountries that everybody's going tofight over and there's going to bethere's going to be Devastation in thesethird world countries that areresource-rich countries mineral-richcountries strategically importantcountriesbut the majority of the population willstay calm because they won't feel likethey're at WarWorld War One World War II you had masspanic you had hysteria people wereterrified all the time children hidingunder desks because there was a therewas a war of there was a war going onand everybody could use that wordwe've grown governments have grown muchsmarter since then they don't wantpeople talking about war they wantpeople worried about nuclear weaponsbecause that makes you support your owngovernment but as soon as you're at Warwe learned in Vietnam the people canturn against their government nogovernment wants thatwell you knowI agree with you 100 however zielinskiis on the record sayingAmerica is going to have to send theirtheir sons and daughters over here tofight and die alongside with usand there's been rumors and I'm surethey're just rumorsum I don't think there's any validity tohim uh yet but talking about a draft doyou you know this could escalate and wewere talking about all these different Imean look at Afghanistan China was thereto negotiate with Taliban before we wereeven pulled outandum I believe that was all over lithiumyou know butwhat's to say that we don't send our ownguys again into these into these thirdworld countries that are rich inmaterials and and and andumstrategic importance yesyeah there's always a probabilitythere's always a possibility always Ijust think the probability is lowwhen we let's be frank when we talkabout President zielinski all rightpresident zielinskiis a presidentof a third world country that is at warwith Russiahas he gone down and and secured hisplace in history as a heroic president Iwould say yesbuthe was an actor before he was elected bya third world population to become theleader of their countryand the show that he's famous for was ashow where basically he was talkingabout Russian corruption in Ukraine forall we know he could still just beplaying the same role that he wasplaying when he was an actorhe has no Statesman chops he has nobackground in understanding diplomacy orunderstanding politics over the lastyear there have been at least a half adozen instances where he has spoken outof turn and then been correcteddo you remember when he uh he said thathe would never negotiate with Putin doyou remember that I do I was like whateight months ago six months ago and thenhe got a phone call from President Bidenthat said something along the lines ofyou can't draw a red line like that andthen he changed his positionright you saw him talk about how uh thewar would never stop until Ukraine hadregained all of its territorialIntegrity back as far as 1999 and thenhe had to walk that back right the guyis a very good populist leader he's verygood at getting people excited and he'svery good at making headlines and that'sgood because that's what Ukraine needsbut he's not a Statesman right he's heis not an experienceduh wartime leader in terms of actuallyknowing how to negotiate and andreduce conflict that's not what he'sgood athe has to constantly get redirected bythe United States because we are theprimary people funding his War rightfunding his defense so he's got he'sconstantly having to renavigate us sofour days ago or earlier this week hemade some comment about how if Chinagives lethal Aid to Russia the wholeworld is going to warhe doesn't know what the hell he'stalking about no rightPresident Obamasaid that chemical weapons in Syria weregoing to be a red line and then Assadused chemical weapons in Syriaand nothing happened right one of thebiggest blunders of the ObamaAdministration that was an Americanpresident committing American resourcesto a conflictso what right does president zielinskihave to commit World Resources to aconflict that only involves him and hishim and Russia right now it's just notlikely yeah you know what I mean and forme as an American watching this it makesme very upset it makes me veryfrustratedto seehow zelinski uses his public profile tocontinue to incite violence and continueto incite aggressionyes I understand Russia is doing thesame thingbut I remember being a 10 year old kidand my parents teaching me that you haveto be the bigger man to win a conflictright so if he just resorts to the samekind of populistpropaganda that the Russians use toincite their own people to violencewho's actually winningand this is what's mind-boggling to methe only country to propose a peace planwas ChinaChinaproposed a peace plan that both zelinskiand Putin actually publiclyacknowledged and took and took the timeto read and listen tonow as of today they haven't agreed toany peace plan but it's ridiculous thatthe one country who has thought up theidea of taking a leadership role innegotiating a ceasefire has been China Ithink turkey may have tried somethingearly onbut it wasn't taken seriously by eitherside but here China China is essentiallythe world leader right now innegotiating peace in Europe that'smind-boggling what does that look likefor usdude that's that's bad in so many waysfirst of all for China to even propose apeace plan means that they understandthey have leverage over both parties younever propose a peace plan unless youhave something to gain from the peaceChina knows that they're one of theprimary sources for funding Russia sothey can definitely lean into Putin andsay hey we're going to give you an outthat saves face we're going to protectyour ego and protect your country bygiving you a ceasefire agreement thatbenefits Russiaand if you if you do what we tell you todo you'll continue to have the benefitsof a Chinese partner right for the next20 years but they can also go to Ukraineand say Ukraineyou do what we tell you to do because wehave a collar a leash on Russiaand we'll be able to protect and enforceany agreement they make and because webring peace to Ukraine you'll give usdibs on rebuilding Ukraine or you'llgive us beneficial treatment in Ukrainein the future right so we're going tostep in and essentially benefit from allthe money and conflict that if all themoney and investment that's come fromthe United States do you remember whathappened when we left Afghanistanwhich part that's every part right weleft Afghanistan China stepped in yeahthey took mineral rights they supportedthe Taliban they started thehumanitarian effort Ithat infuriates me I have how did thathow did that happen the same way it'sthe same way they're setting it up rightnow in Ukraine right the United Stateshow was that messed yeah with especiallywith this with this green energymovement to to to abandonlithium deposits of that size is justit does it doesn'twas it on purposeI mean I I subscribe to hanlon's razor alogic razor a logical saying that we'retaught at the agency never subscribe toContra never subscribe toconspiracy that which can be explainedwith idiocyI that kind of conspiracy to think thatwe orchestrated the abandonment oflithium mines to give them to China thatis so complicatedthat it just makes more logical sense toassume somebody was stupidit doesn't feel goodbut probability wise that's the moreprobable outcome but then you have allthese ties between China and the BidenAdministration and China and Biden's sonand andis it that much of a conspiracy so wethink that these ties we think thatthese ties are newand that's why we think they'reconspiraciesstop to think about the fact that Chinadid not participate in the war on terrorso what were they doing with all theirtime money and attention going back to2001.they weren't fighting terrorists theywere they were building this hugenetwork of resources all around theglobe they were taking advantage of thefact that America was distracted theother superpower was distracted by thewar on terrorrightwe we essentially we got caught with ourpants downright the whole world ran on the back ofChinese Manufacturingwhen you follow the breadcrumbs ofChinese businessesI mean it's shell corporation on top ofshell corporation on top of shellCorporation where did they learn thatfrom usmore more Chinese visas were granted forChinese people to go to American lawschools than any other countryand when they finished law school theydidn't become American attorneys theywent back to Chinato become attorneys for Chinese firmsthat help negotiate contracts globallythat they know they can enforce over theUnited States one of the reasons thatthat this Chip War there's a big chipwar between the U.S and China one of thebig reasons that that chip war iscontinuingum and the reasons that that Biden hasto pass presidential legislation to stopthe transfer of chips is because legallyunder existing laws China has it allnailed down that's how they took overHong Kong they took it over legallyfirst they've been laying the foundationto legally take over Taiwan for the lastseven years right like that's how theyoperate they operate according to thethe rule of international law becausethen the international courts have nooption except to support them and theycan do Insane things like beating peoplein the streets in Hong Kong and not fallunder legal ramifications becausethey've already got the laws all ironedoutright but going back to your point aboutyou know what's it look like if Chinanegotiates peace in Europeit looks like the United States is awarmonger and it looks like the UnitedStates no longer has a sphere ofinfluence in Europe because the UnitedStates couldn't negotiate peace it tookChina to negotiate peace that's what itlooks like it looks like that 2033timelinejust got shortened by about three yearsyeah hey everybody I'm Sean Ryan clickhere to subscribe to the Sean Ryan ShowYouTube channel for the hottest and
