With so much unrest on the global stage right now as two major conflicts rage on, one between Ukraine and Russia, the other Israel and Hamas (Palestine), many folks are concerned that we’re on the brink of a third world war, only this one carries the ominous undertones of a potential apocalyptic situation enfolding the whole planet.
Not a lot of folks expected World War I to begin, but it did. There weren’t very many who thought that there would be another global conflict so quickly after the first one either. Yet World War II happened. Wars have, unfortunately, been a part of the story of humanity from the very beginning.
We’re just about due for another big one.
And there are a number of signs that have arisen that seem to indicate we’re on the cusp of just such a conflict at this very moment.
The first, according to Politico, is that both Hezbollah and Israel have written up battle plans and the Biden administration is, at this point, thoroughly convinced that fighting is going to break out soon.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah have drafted battle plans and are in the process of trying to procure additional weapons, according to two senior U.S. officials briefed on the intelligence.
Both sides have publicly said they do not want to go to war, but senior Biden officials increasingly believe that intense fighting is likely to break out despite efforts to try and prevent it.
The risk is higher now than at any other point in recent weeks, according to another senior U.S. official, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to speak freely about sensitive intelligence.
A second sign that a major world war could be about to erupt is Iran issuing a warning that there will be what they called an “obliterating war” if Israel Defense Forces enter into the southern region of Lebanon.
Israel will face an “obliterating war” if it embarks on “full-scale military aggression” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN warned on Friday.
The announcement was made on Twitter.
“Albeit Iran deems as psychological warfare the Zionist regime’s propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue. All options, incl. the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table,” the post reads.
By “all Resistance Fronts,” Iran means not just Hezbollah and Hamas, but also the Houthi rebels in Yemen as well as other groups in Syria and Iraq.
Additionally, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also convinced that an armed conflict with Iran is inevitable and has stated that it’s his belief Iran has developed a plan to take over the whole Middle East region.
Netanyahu emphasized that the fight against Iran’s terror proxies is critical for other nations in the Middle East, as Iran aims to dominate the rest of the region, including Sunni Muslim nations.
“We also have to deter the other elements of the Iran terror axis. But we have to deal with the axis,” Netanyahu explained. “The axis doesn’t threaten only us. It threatens you. It’s on the march to conquer the Middle East.”
“That means, actually, conquer. Conquer Saudi Arabia, conquer the Arabian Peninsula. It’s just a question of time,” he warned.
A new report issued by NBC News has revealed that there are military assets being moved into position by the United States in order to be “ready to evacuate Americans” once a war between Hezbollah and Iran starts.
Speaking of Hezbollah, they recently launched a total of 40 rockets into the northern part of Israel, which is also a bad sign that things are getting ready to pop. Then, last Saturday, aircraft from Israel dropped some bombs on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
Things are really getting heated in that region of the world. Once it reaches a fever pitch and enough people are angry, it could explode into a full world war.
Another alarming development is that Russian President Vladimir Putin has now expressed interest in building a coalition of nations that would “rival the West and NATO.” Yeah, that’s not good. Not at all. Sounds like getting teams ready to do battle against each other, doesn’t it?
Putin also issued a warning saying that his country will need to start production of intermediate-range nuclear weapons systems.
Russia must respond to the actions of the United States and it seems that it is necessary for the country to start the production of intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) strike systems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.
“We need to respond to this and make decisions about what we will have to do in this direction next. Apparently, we need to start manufacturing these systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where – if necessary to ensure our safety – to deploy them,” Putin said at an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.
Most disturbingly, a highly influential individual within foreign policy circles in Russia has offered up a diabolical suggestion, saying he or she believes the country should detonate a nuke so they can show the world just how serious they are.
Dmitry Suslov, a top figure at the Moscow-based Council for Foreign and Defence Policy, has put forward the idea of Russia carrying out a “demonstrative” nuclear detonation, a move that could prompt the start of World War 3. This alarming suggestion arises as tensions with the West intensify due to Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied weaponry against Russian forces.
Suslov’s think tank, known to occasionally sway government policy, made this proposal public shortly after President Vladimir Putin delivered a grave warning to NATO countries. Putin warned that if Ukraine were to employ Western arms for attacks on Russian soil, it could spark a worldwide crisis, reinforcing his point with threats of severe repercussions.
Things are getting scary, folks. If you aren’t the praying type, I suggest you reconsider your position and start getting right with God. Maybe, just maybe, if there’s enough repentance, we can avoid a catastrophic conflict.
