US 'sleepwalking' into WWIII, experts warn nation is underprepared: 'We do not have our Churchill'

[Maria Billingsley]

The U.S. is "sleepwalking" into a global war against its top adversaries united under an axis of "malign partnerships," and experts are sounding the alarm that neither the U.S. military nor the public are prepared for World War III.

In late July, a body of non-governmental national security experts, first tasked by Congress in 2022 under the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, released an evaluation of the U.S.’ overall security strategy put forward by the Biden administration two years ago.

The commission found that after decades of post-Cold War policies that cut defense spending and reduced investments in the security sector, Washington, D.C., is "not prepared" to counter Beijing in open conflict, let alone a multi-front war against China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.

US 'sleepwalking' into WWIII, experts warn nation is underprepared: 'We do not have our Churchill'

Security experts are warning that the U.S. is not prepared to engage in open conflict with China for more than a few weeks, let alone a multi-front war also involving Russia, Iran and North Korea.

It's about time that people started waking up. I've been telling people all year that WWIII has already started. Most everyone I tell can't see it. These wars don't start with a declaration, nor a flash bulb event. They mission creep. I doubt that there is any turning back at this point. The warmongers want full blown war.

Typical war mongering used for political pressure.

Just as telling a child not to play with matches is just fear mongering to keep the child under the authoritarian thumb of the parent.

That's hilarious. "We do not have our Churchill." Oh no! Like it would take the USA more than approximately three seconds to find a drunk, racist loudmouth willing to wear a top hat while spewing war propaganda. Come on.

With all due respect , that is hardly a comparison, rearing children and WWIII.

Actually, both the First and Second World Wars started with declarations. The flashpoint for WW1 was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand; for WW", the invasion of Poland.

It's just history. We all know this stuff.

That's just revisionist history. Declarations aren't actions. Declarations don't level cities. Acts do. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was an act of war; but the war had already begun which had led to his assassination.

There was no declaration of war for the Vietnam Conflict; and there was no Declaration for the Cold War.

If the first statement was true the dollar would be falling against other currencies. This does not appear to be happening. Poorer nations would not be keen on buying a falling/failing currency any more than richer ones

As of December 2024, Japan held United States treasury securities totaling about 1.06 trillion U.S.

China has dumped half of it's holdings in US Treasuries this year. They didn't do it all at once; because creating that instability in the world market would hurt their economy.

Belgium is dumping US Treasuries.

The UK's debt just rose to be equal to it's GDP.; and Japans economy recently crashed.

If all of these dollars were coming back to the US, we would have expected to see a huge inflation spike; so maybe you can tell me who is buying our debt as as it is being unloaded en masse. My source says countries who are hedging against hyperinflation. I believe that was Gerald Celente. He usually gets it right.

It gets worse from here.

Wars are fought for two reasons, for gold, and for god; and when they say it's about god, it's really for gold.

I'm so happy that the world is coming around to treating german fascists nicely again, considering that we are about 2 election cycles away from being ruled by them again.

We also won't start a war as long as you give us everything we demand. Pinky promise.

Well, all except for those evil Russian xenophobes who continue to discriminate against NAZIs invading their land.

At first, Ukraine just wanted ammunition for their guns.
Then they just wanted Javelin anti-tank missiles to take out the invading tanks.
Then it was Stingers to take out invading helicopters.
Then 105mm Howitzers and Abrams tanks.
Suddenly, it became ok for the Ukrainians to do the invading of Russia.......
So it was on to F-16s, long range drones and long range missiles striking as far as Moscow.

I wonder how our government would respond if Russia openly supplied weapons to Canada to attack the USA with long range missiles that reached Washington DC, and bragged to the world that they're going to supply even more.

We saw how Kennedy responded when The USSR put missiles in Cuba. The USSR responded reasonably.

It's more than just giving long range missiles to Ukraine. The Missiles will be guided by US controlled satellites and aimed by codes entered by the US. That is why Russia has announced that if this comes to pass, that NATO has entered the war.

Realistically this war has been with NATO all along. NATO is falling; and instead of these nations finding their place in the changing world dynamics; they seem to want to go out with a bang. The BRICS nations have NATO out financed, outgunned, and out manned. NATO might want to start trading with them in a way that would be beneficial to all, instead of trading blows.

I'm surprised that hasn't happened yet. For such an evil guy, Putin sure is being patient while Ukraine attacks them with our weapons. One day, I believe we are going to get hit by Russia, and Putin will be able to tell the world that it was in response to aggression directed at the heart of Russia by America, and this is the consequence for America to face and a message for the rest of the world to see.
Nukes haven't been used since WWII, and that's caused everyone to fall into complacency about them.

I believe an all-out war is exactly what our government wants, whether it be a civil war within our own population, or a world war with Russia. Then those currently in power will step up and claim to have the solution.

Putin has been tremendously patient. So has Iran. I suspect that China is encouraging them to show restraint. This war isn't good for anyone except those who are clinging to what is left of their falling power. We really need to learn how to play well with others in this changing world dynamic. War is bad for business. It destroys valuable resources. Peaceful trade builds prosperity.

Our adversaries would be elated to see a civil war here. Our Government is bought and paid for by the same entities who benefit from our fiat monetary system, the fake stocks being sold on futures, and the profits raked in by Military Industrial Complex.

Our military budget is roughly half of the world's military budget; the corporate media has brainwashed the American people into believing that we need to be taxed more and more because the whole world is out to get us.

They sold us fear; and we bought it. As a result we have become nearly enslaved as the rest of the world in their Imperialist conquests to prop up their ponzi scheme.

It's typical Globalist gas lighting to claim that a call for deescalating a war, that we cannot win, is somehow war mongering.

There will be no WWIII and there never will be. Why? Because the powers at be will throw the nuke switch and nobody will know it even happened. This is why war mongering is wasted, precious time and energy best used elsewhere like building the Kingdom for God.

Wow, how optimistic! Like Putin couldn't just fire one nuke at NY or DC, or maybe even San Francisco (if Harris elected) as a way of saying "Back off!" since nothing else has worked so far.
What good is a nuke stockpile if the owners of it prove themselves to be simply bluffing? We're calling Russia's bluff by equipping a neighboring country to attack the capitol of Russia.
If Russia was equipping Mexico or Canada with long range weapons to fire at cities in the USA, would we just let it happen, or would we take decisive action? And I'm speaking in general here, not specifically about Biden or Harris. We already know they'd either sleep on it, or laugh about it.

Nope. Ukraine has always wanted all of those things, it is the US that has been slow to allow each. To be fair, it did take Ukraine a few months to ask for F-16s, since Ukraine's fighter pilots would have to be retrained; originally the hope was that Russian planes could be supplied, since that is what Ukrainian pilots knew. Further, it is not the US that has supplied the F-16s,(unless something changed that I missed) the US has not sent any F-16s to Ukraine; those have all come from Denmark and the Netherlands.

The US has been slow to supply weapons to Ukraine -- even in terms of the long range missiles, our NATO allies were sending European built long range missiles (Storm Shadows) well before the US sent ATACMS.

Most Westerners (Americans especially) can't think in terms of strategic interests but only of maintaining hegemonic influence. The USA to them, simply doesn't have to play by the same set of rules as the rest of the world does. They can influence nations all around the world, supply weapons and change governments everywhere from Asia to the Middle East. Russia and China however are not allowed to strategic interests in countries or regions in closer proximity to them. No one likes to see their empire crumble and America is not exception.

For strategic reasons, a first strike would most likely be an EMP to take out satellites, communications, and electricity. Regular life in the US would be crippled across the country within seconds.

It would take years to restore the grid; even under the best conditions; and it is estimated that 90% of the US population would die off in the first year, should the grid be taken out.

Canada probably already has those capabilities.

If russia fired a nuke at NY, the USA would fire a thousand nukes at every russian city, infastructure and military installation.
