10 Signs That Global War Is Rapidly Approaching

America First Report ^ | July 1, 2024 | MICHAEL SNYDER

[Red Badger]

Are we on the verge of an apocalyptic global war in which billions of people could die? Very few people anticipated that World War I would erupt, but it happened anyway. And very few people anticipated that World War II would erupt, but it happened anyway. All throughout human history, there have been wars. Ever since the very beginning, it has just been a matter of time before major powers collide.

Unfortunately, even though very alarming warning signals are flashing all around us, most of the population of the western world seems absolutely clueless about what is really going on out there. Leaders all over the planet seem to have come down with a really bad case of “war fever”, and preparations for apocalyptic showdowns are being made.

The following are 10 signs that global war is rapidly approaching…

===================================================================

#1 Politico is reporting that Israel and Hezbollah have both “drafted battle plans”, and the Biden administration is convinced that “intense fighting is likely to break out”…

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.

#2 Iran is warning that there will be an “obliterating war” if the IDF enters southern 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.

#3 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that a major with Iran is inevitable because he believes that the Iranians have plans to conquer the entire Middle East…

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.

#4 According to NBC News, the U.S. is moving military assets into position so that they can be “ready to evacuate Americans” once an all-out war erupts between Israel and Hezbollah… The Pentagon is moving U.S. military assets closer to Israel and Lebanon to be ready to evacuate Americans as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, according to three U.S. defense officials and a former U.S. official familiar with the plans.

The USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship, and Marines from the 24th Expeditionary Unit, which is special operations capable, moved into the Mediterranean on Wednesday to join the dock landing ship USS Oak Hill and another ship in their amphibious ready group, according to the Marine Corps. The Wasp will operate in the eastern Mediterranean to be ready for a Military Assisted Departure and other missions, the officials said.

#5 On Thursday, Hezbollah sent approximately 40 rockets into northern Israel…

Hezbollah launched a barrage of some 40 rockets at northern Israel on Thursday afternoon, in what the terror group said was a response to recent Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, including the killing of one of its operatives earlier in the day.

#6 On Saturday, Israeli aircraft bombed several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon…

On Saturday afternoon Israeli fighter jets struck a building in southern Lebanon’s Houla where a group of Hezbollah operatives were gathered, the military said. The IDF said the operatives were spotted by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, and a short while later the airstrike was carried out.

Another building used by Hezbollah in Houla was also struck, the IDF added. It published footage of the strikes.

#7 I know that I wrote about this last week, but I couldn’t leave this particular item out of this article. Apparently Joe Biden is thinking about approving a plan that would “allow US military contractors to deploy to Ukraine”…

President Joe Biden’s administration is moving toward a plan that would allow US military contractors to deploy to Ukraine for the first time in a limited capacity, CNN reported.

Four US officials familiar with the matter told the outlet that a policy is being worked on to allow the Pentagon to issue private contracts to send troops for the maintenance and repair of US-supplied systems in Ukraine.

#8 Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly interested in developing a coalition of nations that would “rival the West and NATO”…

Rhetoric from Vladimir Putin about a Eurasian security coalition is part of a Kremlin plan to create a group of Moscow-friendly countries to rival the West and NATO, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has said.

The assessment by the Washington, DC think tank follows Putin’s visit to North Korea which, one international security expert told Newsweek, has “deepened an already intensifying relationship of convenience” between Moscow and Pyongyang.

#9 Putin is also warning that Russia will need to begin 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.

Of course the Russians already have more tactical nuclear weapons than anyone else in the world by a large margin, and they have developed brand new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles which are so advanced that they aren’t even worth comparing to the Minuteman missiles that the U.S. is depending on which first went into service in the 1970s.

#10 A very influential figure in Russian foreign policy circles is suggesting that the Russians should actually detonate a nuclear device in order to show the world 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.

Unfortunately, all of this is happening at a time when 72 percent of U.S. voters believe that the guy with his finger on the nuclear button does not have “the mental or cognitive health to serve as president”…

A sweeping section of registered voters do not believe President Joe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve a second term as president after his unsteady debate performance last week, according to a new poll.

The CBS/You Gov national survey conducted in the days after the debate found that 72% of voters do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive health to serve as president, as well as nearly half of his own party. That’s up seven points from the beginning of June.

We are in far more trouble than most people realize.

And it is far later than most people think that it is.

I just wish that we could get more people to wake up. We are literally stumbling into an apocalyptic global war, and once we are in the middle of it there will not be any way to go back and get a second chance to do things over.

LMAO

[BigFreakinToad]

Hasn’t the wars and rumors of wars been going on for about 2000 years now?

[dragnet2]

“”We are in far more trouble than most people realize.””

Trump has told us this repeatedly.

Heads up!....................

Very few people anticipated that World War I would erupt, but it happened anyway. And very few people anticipated that World War II would erupt, but it happened anyway.

Well if that's the situation, and if history is our guide (unexpected!),

Very few people are anticipating peace, but it'll happen anyway, to the shock and horror of the apocalypse porn empire of bad news 24/7/365.

Here's something related (unexpected!):

For many, the number 137 is more than just a numerical value. It's a bridge between the tangible world of science and the intangible realm of mysticism.

"137 continues to fire the imagination of everyone from scientists and mystics to occultists and people from the far-flung edges of society," states Arthur I. Miller, an emeritus professor of history and philosophy of science at University College London. His book, 137: Jung, Pauli and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession, delves deep into this fascination.

>>>

The Everlasting Enigma

The number 137, whether viewed through the lens of science or spirituality, remains one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Its dual significance in both realms makes it an important number that continues to intrigue good theoretical physicists and spiritualists alike.

https://science.howstuffworks.com/dictionary/physics-terms/why-is-137-most-magical-number.htm

Kabbalah [קַבָּלָה, "receiving"] = 137.

For the one receiving a "137", the numeral appears upside-down:

LEI

See, it's a gift, from the 50th state of Aloha, of peace:

Lei of various styles are given as gifts to honour people throughout the Pacific, being presented, for example, to visiting dignitaries, graduates, or to loved ones who are departing.

Lei gained popularity in the United States due to the common practice of presenting one to arriving or leaving tourists in Hawaii.

>>>

A lei can be given to someone for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, these reasons include peace, love, honor, or friendship.

Lei (garland)

LEI [ליי] = 50, the distinguished number of transcendence.

That's a pretty short reply for me, but as I was almost ready to post, I was disrupted by an emergency bird rescue. So to add that in because it fits in:

A juvenile blackbird was down hard after hitting the door window, lying on the deck with one wing outstretched. These birds are a real nuisance at the feeders but this little fellow needed help.

I picked him up and within a few seconds he was scrambling to fly away. That's the idea -- normally great, but he wasn't in any condition to depart so he flew straight into the deck railing. Wei Tu Lo. Thud. Ouch.

Now he really was in a world of hurt, down again, beak gaping wide open, and his eyes rapidly "blinking", flashing a blue-white light like it was some kind of code. I'd never seen that and I've done a lot of these rescues. Never had blackbird hit, though.

He was upright and fairly alert all considering, but this time he was in no rush to go anywhere. I finally decided to walk around to the front porch so we could sit in the shade. As I held him in my open hand, we had a long chat about not taking off without being ready first. After about 20 minutes, he flew into a tree, up high, no problems this time.

even though very alarming warning signals are flashing all around us...

... life finds a way.

Heads down!

The article is completely unconvincing - slapping together a mish-mash of unrelated events and calling that a prelude to WW III. Most likely the writer is short on this month’s rent and needs clicks.

[buwaya]

Quite a lot of people in leadership roles anticipated a great European war by 1914. Thats why every nation was in full prep mode (as they thought) for such a thing.

Just the British-
Britain and Germany were in a full blown naval arms race, which both expected would inevitably lead to war. Sir John French, as CIGS in 1912, started planning for a continental war, as well as coordination with the French general staff to bring a British army to France. Lord Kitchener was openly predicting such a war, and the need for a mass army.

Most countries thought a general war was likely, and most planned for it, and spent vast sums to prepare. Most government planners (save for people like Kitchener, who nailed it) did not grasp the scale and length of that war, and the degree of economic mobilization that would become necessary.

Sounds like the Australian Oome-Goome bird..........

[Ezekiel]

Turns out it was a juvenile grackle.

The size made me think it was some regular blackbird. We don't see these mixed mini flocks around too often, but then in the past week we've seen a few birds show up with the offspring for the first time. Thus my ID confusion.

I've never paid much mind to who is who because they are low on the cuteness scale, and even lower on the behavioral scorecard. 🫤🤭

Odd because they hadn't been visible to suspect they were nesting nearby. Apparently they caught on to the free food.

This time of year, many bird parents (regular, adorable customers) use the suet cakes as a fast-food service for the kiddos. It's fun to watch them take food back to the trees to the awaiting baby beggars, or bring the lil' tykes to the food.

"And here's the McDonalds.."

[#3 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that a major (war) with Iran is inevitable because he believes that the Iranians have plans to conquer the entire Middle East…]

Whatever the reason will be, it will lead to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38. Will there be a/some more battle/s of Israel vs. Iran before then? Dunno. Well, we certainly saw that in April (I'm surprised that didn't go bigger - but it was a major step forward - even *I* would not have believed that the IDF would be in Iran, bombing Iran by April, if you had told me last fall. Even after October 7. April was something else. How that didn't immediately escalate is surprising.

Birds are Great...
I like the Crows around here
They like me.

[Red Badger]

The Iranians are the Persians of Ezekiel 38.

Cush is sub-Saharan Africa and Put is Libya and northwestern Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco).

Gog and Magog would be Russia and China...............

[Ezekiel]

You probably know how it goes...

The best season for crows is early-mid summer, when that certain, loud, whining crying “crawww... crawww... crawww... crawww...” isn’t annoying, it’s cuteness overload.

As in, instead of “Shuddup already!” it means it’s time to play “spot the baby beggar”.

Then we laugh, watching how the big baby crows pester the parents for food.. won’t leave ‘em alone, following them around the trees.

Turns out it’s the adult crows that are more likely to be thinking, “Shuddup already!” as they shove something down those noisy throats.

So much entertainment out there. 😂

I like when the ‘Cluck-Cluck-Cluck’ and I Answer and we have a little Conversation!

I’ve studied gog-magog a little but at this time I sincerely look forward to walking with Jesus in the Gardens of the
New Jerusalem.
Glory and Honor to

Sweet! I’ll have to try that.
