WWIII has already begun between the US empire and the rest of the free World via its vassal states, proxies, and paid non-state provocateurs.
1. Ukraine - US empire via its European Vassal States (i.e., NATO) vs the Russian Federation
2. Middle East - US empire via Israel / Arab Vassal States / ISIS / etc. versus Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, etc.
3. North & Southeast Asia - US empire via its Asian vassal states (e.g., South Korea, Japan, Republic of China, Philippines, Australia, etc.) versus China
In all three cases above, it is the US empire that is in the process of instigating and/or already conducting a delusional proxy war to maintain its geopolitical/economic control of the planet's natural and financial resources that the rest of the free World will no longer surrender.
