9 Signs That The United States And NATO Are Both Preparing For War

The only way that Russia could possibly be defeated in Ukraine would be if western forces get directly involved in the conflict. Sadly, it appears that events are rapidly taking us in that direction. When long-range missiles that are provided by western countries and that are guided to their...

Do you guys think this war and potential WW3 will happen soon or is this just fear mongering? Some of these examples are concerning like:

#6 French hospitals have been instructed to prepare for mass casualties by March 2026…
and
#7 Germany is preparing to treat up to 1,000 wounded troops per day…

But I could also just see that as preparation just in case, instead of it being a literal thing that will happen. What do you guys think?

I don't see the US helping NATO with anything.

Europe is preparing just in case, IMO. So a big war is not a done deal, yet.

I think the situation is serious. The world is like a forest ready to burn down to the ground. But just because it is ready doesn't mean it will burn down today. We have to wait.

Anybody in the US needs a passport and foreign bank account. Just in case.

[18-Sept-2025] 5 Places World War III Could Start Right Now - National Security Journal

Key Points from "5 Places World War III Could Start Right Now"

• Introduction to Flashpoints: The article identifies five potential starting points for World War III in 2025: the Taiwan Strait, NATO’s eastern front (Ukraine, Black Sea, Baltics), Israel-Iran theater, Korean Peninsula, and India-China Himalayas border. These are not ranked, and the author invites reader debate.
• Taiwan Strait and First Island Chain: Beijing's push for "reunification" ties into regime legitimacy, risking a blockade or coercion via exercises, missiles, cyber attacks, and ambiguity. Geography funnels traffic, drawing in U.S., Japan, and Philippines; miscalculations like collisions or misfires could escalate to great-power conflict, disrupting global supply chains.
• NATO’s Eastern Front (Ukraine, Black Sea, Baltics): Ongoing Ukraine war risks spillover via stray missiles, drones, or naval incidents in the crowded Black Sea. Baltic vulnerabilities like Kaliningrad and Suwałki Gap could trigger Article 5 through sabotage or harassment, leading to tit-for-tat escalation and alliance credibility tests.
• Israel-Iran Theater (Levant to Gulf): Shadow war has escalated to direct missile/drone exchanges and proxy actions at chokepoints; both sides assume the other will back down amid domestic pressures. Chain reactions could involve Hezbollah, Houthis, U.S. forces, and energy route disruptions, turning limited strikes into theater-wide war.
• Korean Peninsula: Least changed but highly volatile due to North Korea's missiles/artillery and survival obsession versus South Korea's retaliatory capabilities and U.S.-Japan ties. Sparks like sea clashes or missile tests could lead to artillery barrages, precision strikes, and nuclear signaling, escalating rapidly under public scrutiny.
• India-China Himalayas: Disputed, high-altitude border between nuclear powers features deadly skirmishes, rapid infrastructure buildup, and reduced warning times. Patrol clashes could spiral into artillery/air duels, drawing in U.S./Russia as suppliers and risking nationalistic incidents over downed aircraft.
• Why Risks Are Worse in 2025 Than a Decade Ago: Increased speed from drones/missiles/hypersonics compresses decisions; ubiquitous sensors amplify misread signals; gray-zone tactics (militias, cyber, proxies) enable dangerous probing; fragmenting deterrence fosters overconfidence in controlled escalation.
• Prevention Measures:
  • Hard Power: Survivable assets like submarines, anti-ship missiles, layered defenses, and sustained logistics tailored to each theater.
  • Crisis Channels: Empowered hotlines, deconfliction rules for air/maritime/unmanned systems, and protocols for incidents.
  • Clear Red Lines and Off-Ramps: Explicit triggers for response, listening to adversaries' limits to avoid misreading.
  • Economic Resilience: Buffers for supply-chain/energy shocks to allow measured responses.
• Conclusion: WWIII is not inevitable but closer due to state-on-state risks; success depends on credible posturing, clear communication, and open channels to build "firebreaks" before crises erupt, as escalation could happen in minutes.

I don’t think it will be till after the rapture which may be very soon. And it’s all about Israel. Eze 38&39

Being on the brink of WW3 has occurred on a regular basis since the 1950s.

I don’t think it will be till after the rapture which may be very soon. And it’s all about Israel. Eze 38&39

Being on the brink of the rapture has occurred on a regular basis ever since John Nelson Darby invented the doctrine in 1830.

I don't place Gog/Magog war as anywhere close since Revelation mentions it at the end of the millennial reign (Revelation 20: 7-10). But I don't think the next world war will be until the tribulation period for sure. The world right now is like a pressure cooker, there is so many possibilities of war cropping up, it's getting insane. I mean, Morocco just broke out in violent protests today against the government and Nepal before that, Madagascar's government just fell due to protests too... it's getting nuts.

The beginning of sorrows. Wars and rumors of wars. Eze 38 is different from armageddon. Happens during the tribulation. But Israel is going to be the focus of the big war.

According to this article, these are 9 signs that the US and NATO are preparing for war against Russia.

I grew up with the possibility that WW3 could happen at any moment. There was no doubt that it would be a nuclear war from the get-go. Various places were designated as fall-out shelters. Civil Defense handed out booklets on making fall-out shelters. That was the reality of those times. WW3 at any time, without warning.

That sort of remains with you. Maybe WW3 is right around the corner; maybe it's not. We may be closer to it now than we have in a long time, but we've been close before. Could it happen now? Possibly, but we don't know one way or the other. That's the way things are.

Did you get to crawl under your school desk while air raid sirens went off for nuke drills? That was so much fun.

 

[High Fidelity]

No. The US and NATO aren't going to attack a nuclear Russia, even if half or more of Russia's nuclear weapons are probably a greater risk to Russians than anyone else if how they maintain everything else is anything to go by.

 

[Tuur]

Did you get to crawl under your school desk while air raid sirens went off for nuke drills? That was so much fun.

No. First, we had no sirens, and second, we were taught to sit with out backs to the wall in the hallway, knees up, heads bent forward. It was the tornado drill posture. There was lots of glass in school rooms of the time to let in light, and all of it would become shrapnel. They didn't tell us this, of course. We had to figure it out later.
