Brink of World War III: Part 2
250: Preparing For A Shift In The Global Order
Growing up I was always captivated by World War II history. I feel like there’s definitely some internet memes floating around that make fun of this — something along the lines of men picking a personality post 40 and it either includes WWII history, craft beers, golf, or cigars.
But I was obsessive — reading literally anything I could get my hands on and collecting books. Over time I acquired some great books including an original Guadalcanal Diary copy by Richard Tregaskis, a vintage copy of The Dirty Dozen, and a copy of A Soldier’s Story by Omar N Bradley (signed).
I read extensively about the campaigns in the Pacific and Europe, spending an inordinate amount of time on Operation Overlord (DDAY), the German invasion of Russia, and the Pacific Theater. I’ve seen Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Come and See, The Pacific, Sands of Iwo Jima, Thin Red Line, and other titles countless times. I have vintage WWII propoganda posters and artwork near my office desk. I have a German MG42 round from Omaha Beach and a “cricket” toy that the US paratroopers in Normandy used to communicate in pitch black darkness.
Needless to say — I think there is much to be learned from history.
Being the world’s last seismic conflict, World War II introduced the globe to several new realities about conflict and the emerging world order.
With modern technology that quickly eclipsed tactics, weapons, and strategy from the first World War, it was now possible to effectively decimate your enemies made painfully obvious in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
I don’t think I could fully comprehend the sheer magnitude of the conflict — which led to an interest in investigating how such an event was allowed to transpire.
Roughly 54,000,000 people died in World War II.
World War II, like any modern conflict developed for many reasons — Hitler’s Germany, American expansionist and economic ambitions, and Japan’s insistency on feudal imperialism characterized by unbelievable brutality. The Axis powers aligned to challenge Western world rule and lost once the Soviets got involved. The post war order played out in which Russia simply walked into it’s new role — China would grow beside it.
Fast forward over 80 years and warfare has mostly been characterized by a nuclear arms race, ideological battles of communism and capitalism, guerilla campaigns, coups, insurgencies, and the Global War on Terror. It wasn’t until Putin invaded Ukraine that world once again got to see the horror of full blown modern combat complete with trench warfare, drone technology, and mass killing fields in Europe.
Everything is cyclical throughout history.
And it seems that with each passing day we are getting closer and closer to another sizeable global conflict that induces the military might of major global powers. Given the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology — the stakes are higher.
In the aftermath of the barbaric and highly publicized attacks on Israel in October, the Middle East cranked up the spice factor significantly with insurgent and rebel proxies of Iran and Russia ramping up missile, drone, and IED attacks on US Military Bases and commercial shipping in the region. In the first escalation that hit Americans back home in the gut — two Navy SEALs were killed in a maritime operation in the Red Sea intercepting Iranian weapons bound for Yemen. Again this week the conflict expanded with the death of 3 US soldiers in Jordan.
While no clear escalation has happened yet on the US part, President Biden has told reporters Tuesday that he has decided on how to respond to the attack.
Today’s post is a deep dive into the global conflict that is edging closer and closer. Paired with a number of disturbing trends at home in the US like the current standoff at the southern border, continued political divisiveness, the ongoing “accidents” at food processing facilities, infrastructure break down (train derailments), and risk of violence at home — the perfect storm is forming. Moscow is reportedly considering sending Nuclear Weapons to Cuba, marking the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 that they’ve had this regional capability.
The time to bury your head in the sand is gone. No amount of idealogical virtue signaling, coping, or name calling is changing what seems to be manifesting. The events of 2024 are going to change our lives and represent a drastic change of course for this country.
The breaking point is close. Everyone can feel it.
Only through sources like Arb Letter can you get a straightforward and direct assessment of what’s going on. Today we’ll talk through how close we are to global conflict, how we will be impacted at home in our daily lives, and what you
can do to stay on top of changing circumstances.
Contrary to what the soy-boys and skeptics think we’re a lot closer to World War III than ever before or at least a conflict that fundamentally alters the course of our country, and after today’s post you’ll understand who stands to benefit from the escalation of a global conflict, the sinister ongoing subversion of the US populace, and breakdown of the established global order.
Do you realize where we are? If not buckle up my friend.
The question is: how bad do things have to get before you will do something about it? Where is your line in the sand? If you don't enforce the constitutional limitations on your government very soon, you are likely to find out what World War III will be like.
