In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested World War III “may have already started.”
Holt asked Zelensky if he understood President Joe Biden’s hesitancy to escalate tension with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Ukraine.

It’s the end of the world as we know it 🤪
And I feel fine!
The Ukraine deception is a huge reason we are in the biden admin catastrophe.
We’ll have zero difficulty knowing when WWIII starts. It will start with a big boom.
Imagine Putin didn't have nuclear weapons and there was no threat. What's the right thing to do?
Putin wants more territory, not less territory due to radioactive zones. But ask yourself what is the right thing to do if nuclear weapons weren't an option for Putin?
At least then you will know that you are giving in to nuclear blackmail.
And if you still think it's none of our business, do you think the holocaust was none of our business?
How much territory should we appease to Russia before we stand up?
We lived with the threat of Nuclear war my entire life. And I've never seen people saying we can't stand up for fear of starting a nuclear war before. It sickens me.
He would like a war between the USA and Russia. Sleepy joe is just stupid enough to give it to him.
Oh, that will just be the appetizer. New variant release for mass mail-in voting. Staged Reichstag Fire to cause panic about "Q" terrorism. And on and on. This is how elections will he held from now on. This is a nation circling the drain.
There is absolutely no denying that Cold War II has started. Considering the fact that we’ve abandoned the sphere of influence stalemate that kept the peace during Cold War I, preparations for the dark days ahead might be in order.
Need the incident to be fresh in the minds of the sheep 🐑🐑🐑.
Plus the next 7-year shmitah would be September, 2022. (Jonathan Can reference)
Now let me be clear: there is no absolute proof something will happen then.
I’m just looking at September incidents of 2001 and 2008. If something significant happened in September, 2015, it certainly wasn’t an attention grabber.
(This is a nation circling the drain.)
That’s apparently true.
Unfortunately. ☹️😟😞😭
Just need a Gulf of Tonkin incident around September / October? /shiny side out!
The Truth About Tonkin:
Questions about the Gulf of Tonkin incidents have persisted for more than 50 years. But once-classified documents and tapes released in the past several years, combined with previously uncovered facts, make clear that high government officials distorted facts and deceived the American public about events that led to full U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
On 2 August 1964, North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats attacked the USS Maddox (DD-731) while the destroyer was in international waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. There is no doubting that fact.
But what happened in the Gulf during the late hours of 4 August—and the consequential actions taken by U.S. officials in Washington—has been seemingly cloaked in confusion and mystery ever since that night.

Johnson Lied, 55,000 Died
National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 132 ^ | August 2004 | John Prado

Forward: During this election season, you will certainly hear the mantra “Bush lied”. To counter that, here is a REAL example of how intelligence was distorted, resulting in TENS of THOUSANDS of American lives lost.
“The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, 40 Years Later — Flawed Intelligence and the Decision for War in Vietnam”
Signals Intercepts, Cited at Time, Prove Only August 2nd Battle, Not August 4; purported Second Attack Prompted Congressional Blank Check for War
Johnson-McNamara Tapes Show READINESS TO ESCALATE, EVEN ON SUSPECT INTEL. TOP AIDES KNEW OF MISTAKEN SIGNALS, but Welcomed Justification for Vote (Emphasis added)
Washington, D.C., 4 August 2004 - Forty years ago today, President Johnson and top U.S. officials chose to believe that North Vietnam had just attacked U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, even though the highly classified signals intercepts they cited to each other actually described a naval clash two days earlier (a battle prompted by covert U.S. attacks on North Vietnam), according to the declassified intercepts, Johnson White House tapes, and related documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.
Compiled by Archive senior fellow and Vietnam expert John Prados, today’s 40th anniversary electronic briefing book includes Dr. Prados’s detailed analysis of the intercepts - only declassified in 2003 - together with audio files and transcripts of the key Tonkin Gulf conversations between President Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. The latter are excerpted from Dr. Prados’s book, The White House Tapes (New York: The New Press, 2003).
The posting also contains photographs and charts from the Tonkin Gulf incident courtesy of the U.S. Naval Historical Center, a detailed documentary chronology compiled by the State Department’s Office of the Historian for the Foreign Relations of the United States series, a CIA Special National Intelligence on Vietnam.

FIFTY YEARS LATER, NSA KEEPS DETAILS OF ISRAEL’S USS LIBERTY ATTACK SECRET
Miriam Pensack, June 6 2017, 8:58 a.m.
ON JUNE 8, 1967, an Israeli torpedo tore through the side of the unarmed American naval vessel USS Liberty, approximately a dozen miles off the Sinai coast. The ship, whose crew was under command of the National Security Agency, was intercepting communications at the height of the Six-Day War when it came under direct Israeli aerial and naval assault.
Reverberations from the torpedo blast sent crewman Ernie Gallo flying across the radio research room where he was stationed. Gallo, a communications technician aboard the Liberty, found himself and his fellow shipmates in the midst of an attack that would leave 34 Americans dead and 171 wounded.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the assault on the USS Liberty, and though it was among the worst attacks in history against a noncombatant U.S. naval vessel, the tragedy remains shrouded in secrecy. The question of if and when Israeli forces became aware they were killing Americans has proved a point of particular contention in the on-again, off-again public debate that has simmered over the last half a century. The Navy Court of Inquiry’s investigation proceedings following the incident were held in closed sessions, and the survivors who had been on board received gag orders forbidding them to ever talk about what they endured that day.
Now, half a century later, The Intercept is publishing two classified documents provided in the cache of files leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden related to the attack and its aftermath. They reveal previously unknown involvement by Government Communications Headquarters, the U.K. signals intelligence agency; internal NSA communications that seem to bolster a signals intelligence analyst’s account of the incident, which framed it as an accident; as well as a Hebrew transliteration system unique to the NSA that was in use at least as recently as 2006.
His “act” is getting old.
Nope—we are at the Spanish Civil War now—or Hitlers annexation of Austria to use WW II as a template. No invasion of Poland YET. Russia isn’t as strong as Germany. No, the comparison is not accurate!
Setting aside what I thought was an understandable reluctance to become involved in what could easily develop into an actual shooting war, on the heels of twenty years of fruitless military sacrifice and with no discernsble security interests of our own to speak of, you are correct I am scared silly of being led into that war by a old guy calling himself ‘Lunchbucket Joe’ and a VP who was given her start in politics by servicing small time CA politicians. I am guilty as charged.
Thanks to Travis for the above reality re wanting WWIII!
As will 2/3rds of the world after a nuclear winter and famine.
Okay good point, the incompetence of the current POTUS and VP are a valid concern.
I’m not sold on the current Chief of Armed services or the trans Admiral either.
POTUS, VP and the military leadership, which has become so politicized so as to be in effective.
But hey, at least there’re no white supremacists in the ranks.
Joe’s wag the Zelensky seems to be working inside the beltway with all the
gullible republicans.
Thankfully, the view outside the beltway is much different.
Please...somebody tell FOX and it’s hired hand, warmongering mercenaries.....
How is ww3 started if the Russians are failing?
