The Third World War Has Begun

Due to the blatant military assistance of Vladimir Putin’s despotic allies, China, Iran, and North Korea, Ukraine’s former military leader has warned that World War Three is already underway.

Valery Zaluzhny, who is now Ukraine’s envoy to the United Kingdom, told the UP100 award ceremony in Kyiv: ‘I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun.’

The General said that as of this year, ‘Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine.’

He made the remarks in response to allegations that Pyongyang has dispatched some 10,000 soldiers to fight with Russian forces in the Kursk area. Moscow wants to resupply its forces and retake the land that was stolen from it three months ago.

Zaluzhny continued by highlighting the assistance Tehran has reportedly provided to Putin’s army, including the technology to manufacture the drones themselves and the thousands of Shahed attack drones it has given to Moscow.

More than 8,000 Iran-developed drones have been launched since the war began two and a half years ago, Kyiv said in September, with many targeting civilian homes as well as military targets.

‘Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,’ Zaluzhny said, adding that Chinese and North Korean weapons were also being used against his country.

Following Kyiv’s Storm Shadow strike on Russian territory, Moscow’s envoy to the UK stated that Britain is now “directly involved” in the conflict.

Asked if the UK is ‘at war’, the PM told BBC local radio: ‘We’re not at war, but Ukraine certainly is.’ Sir Keir slammed Putin’s ‘irresponsible rhetoric’. 

‘Russia is the aggressor,’ he said. ‘This war could end today if Putin stopped being the aggressor.’

In the meanwhile, a senior military officer stated that if Russia invaded another European country in addition to Ukraine, the British Army would be prepared to engage Vladimir Putin’s soldiers “tonight.”

Lt. Gen Sir Rob Magowan, the deputy chief of the British defence staff, told the House of Commons defence committee yesterday afternoon: ‘If the British Army was asked to fight tonight, it would fight tonight.

‘I don’t think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight.’

However, Magowan’s declaration misrepresents the state of the UK’s military abilities.

Our political elite has once again failed us by failing to understand historical and contemporary geopolitical challenges. Our involvement in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan has taught them nothing, and now they will experience the same old results once more.

Our leaders in Westminster appear to have the erroneous belief that we are still a formidable military power. This belief was abandoned a long time ago, and all that has been witnessed since is the extremely quick decline of our military capabilities.

A killer Tsunami is coming our way, yet the US/UK and EU leaders are debating what colour swimming trunks we should be sporting, and where will these swimming trunks be made. China probably!

We left WWI and WWII behind us, and even though some still have the recollections, politicians have learnt nothing, only how to better themselves and line their own pockets at our expense. Now, they’re good at that, but useless at anything else.

We are possibly on the verge of war, and I wonder what’s running through the minds of the government, and who’s now attempting to move money about so that they can go and live somewhere else, and while they’re doing that, Labour will blame it anything they can – Brexit, COVID-19 and the £22 billion black hole, and for the diabolical mess we’re in.
