As soon as the Western powers started a military campaign in Libya against Muammar Kaddafi, the famous Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovski called it the beginning of World War III. His statements are usually not considered as serious, but this time numerous experts seem to share this point of view. For example, last year George Soros said that the current situation resembled the 1930s. Probably he meant not only the Great Depression but also the series of local conflicts (Spain, Abissinia etc) preceding World War II.
It seems with all that is happening in the Middle East that WWIII has begun a while ago…
World War III has already started, but the world doesn’t know it yet. First the Middle East goes up in flames, then America, Russia and China.
