Are We in WW3? · The Slippery Slope

• 0:10
  Hi, Jake Fallon. Thank you for listening to The
• 0:13
  Slippery Slope. So I did do another episode.
• 0:16
  I haven't, if you're watching this on YouTube.
• 0:18
  I didn't release the other episode on YouTube, quite
• 0:22
  frankly, because I'm tired of arguing with YouTube about what
• 0:25
  I can and can't do, what I can and can't put up.
• 0:29
  And obviously, so this one was about a little about the about
• 0:34
  the rainbow, rainbow peeps. And so there I didn't put it on
• 0:40
  YouTube so I don't think YouTube will care.
• 0:46
  Hey, so I really want to ask this question.
• 0:50
  Tell me what you think are we has World War Three started?
• 0:56
  Are we in the midst of World War 3?
• 0:59
  And if it hasn't started, were you expecting where I think I
• 1:04
  was expecting? Are we expecting to hear like a
• 1:08
  grand announcement from someone from, you know, Biden or whoever
• 1:13
  the. Oh yeah, I don't know.
• 1:17
  Would it be Biden, some world leader stand up and say, hey,
• 1:21
  World War Three just began this day, this time, whatever.
• 1:27
  Is that? Is that what is going to happen
• 1:30
  or is it what I actually think? We're actually already in World
• 1:34
  War 3. You know, I just, I've been
• 1:38
  thinking and look, this is more of a question than I.
• 1:42
  It's just as much of a question as me telling you my opinion.
• 1:46
  I I think we're already in World War Three.
• 1:49
  I think it's already began. Possibly, possibly somewhere,
• 1:55
  somewhere around the time, you know, in within this time frame
• 1:59
  where Ukraine and Russia started having their little fight
• 2:03
  somewhere. I think along those lines, it
• 2:07
  might have started around then, but everyone's just kind of
• 2:11
  slowly, slowly creep crept in. We have obviously the US,
• 2:18
  Britain, England, we have all these different countries
• 2:21
  supplying weapons to Ukraine. You know, we have the British
• 2:27
  helping to train. We have Australia, we're we're
• 2:32
  sending, we've sent stuff over there as well to the Ukraine,
• 2:37
  you know, the Bushmasters and who knows, who knows what else
• 2:40
  we've sent over there. Obviously, yeah, the the United
• 2:44
  States has big time just supplying them weapons and all
• 2:47
  this kind of thing. And then you have some other
• 2:50
  things going on and it just got me thinking, well, are we just
• 2:53
  in the middle or are we in the midst of World War Three?
• 2:57
  And now that all this commotion, not to downplay it, but all this
• 3:03
  drama within Israel, Gaza, and all this kind of thing, and now
• 3:08
  that's kicked off and it's well and truly kicked off.
• 3:11
  Heck, is it just cemented? Well, it's it's really cemented
• 3:17
  my my opinion that we are in the midst of World War 3.
• 3:21
  I'll tell you what, I'm just going to go through a few
• 3:23
  different headlights, headlights, headlights,
• 3:27
  headlines. But I really, really want to
• 3:32
  know what you think I love. I do read the comments.
• 3:37
  There are a couple of people have emailed me different
• 3:39
  things. I have.
• 3:40
  There's one. I just read one long ago when I
• 3:44
  said not long ago, literally like 10 minutes ago, and I will
• 3:47
  get back to you. I think it was a Mick, I can't
• 3:50
  remember the name now. Anyhow, talking about some stuff
• 3:52
  in North Queensland, far North Queensland, so I'll need to know
• 3:56
  some more information. So this headline here, Putin
• 4:02
  visits Beijing to emphasize Russia China friendship amid
• 4:05
  wars in Ukraine and Gaza. So this obviously just happened
• 4:08
  very recently. Vladimir Putin arrived in
• 4:13
  Beijing on Tuesday for a visit that underscores China's support
• 4:17
  for Moscow during its war in Ukraine, as well as Russia
• 4:21
  backing for China's bid to expand its economic and
• 4:26
  diplomatic influence abroad. I think it's very, very
• 4:30
  important when for China, you know from their point of view,
• 4:38
  it's very important for them especially now to keep pushing
• 4:42
  ahead with influence and keep trying to keep trying to expand
• 4:48
  its economic and its diplomatic influence as much as possible.
• 4:53
  Because China is in a world of hurt, you know, financially they
• 4:58
  are in a world of hurt. Things are really start starting
• 5:01
  to constrict, you know, but being a despot, being a dictator
• 5:07
  does not pay. It's not a good political move.
• 5:11
  Every every dictator, every despot, you know, the the
• 5:15
  country starts to implode it. It does.
• 5:19
  So the only thing for them to do is is keep trying to keep trying
• 5:24
  to expand its influence. That's what they're trying to
• 5:27
  do. So China's in a world of hurt.
• 5:30
  They need to do these things. They need to try and expand the
• 5:34
  influence. It goes on in this in this
• 5:36
  article and says the two countries have forged an
• 5:39
  informal alliance against the United States.
• 5:42
  That's this is the thing China wants to break EU s s not really
• 5:49
  stranglehold but it is I suppose the stranglehold over well,
• 5:53
  especially financially the influence that they have such a
• 5:57
  large influence. So it was to what is here forged
• 6:02
  an informal alliance against the United States and other
• 6:04
  democratic nations that is now complicated by the Israel Hamas
• 6:09
  war. And this is one thing that
• 6:11
  frustrates me about the nation I live in, Australia, OK, we have
• 6:15
  so much to do. We deal so much with China.
• 6:18
  Now I I get it. I understand why.
• 6:21
  But there's so many issues that come.
• 6:23
  Australia likes to stand up and tout human rights and stand up
• 6:27
  and say how nations should be doing things, you know, and kind
• 6:32
  of portray ourselves as being one of the good guys.
• 6:34
  And yet we deal with China who have got so many human rights
• 6:39
  issues. I mean forget about.
• 6:42
  Can you even mention the the Uyghur people in the in the
• 6:45
  northern section of China who are basically just, you know,
• 6:50
  it, it makes me laugh when people talk, they make these
• 6:53
  accusations saying that the Gaza Strip is like, you know the
• 6:58
  world's biggest prison. Do they forget about the
• 7:01
  Uighurs, It's like 20 million people, something like that.
• 7:05
  And they they are basically it's just a basic basically it's just
• 7:11
  a open air prison. That's what it seems like
• 7:13
  Australia, we deal with them so much just for the sake of money
• 7:16
  and we we turn a blind eye to all the other humanitarian
• 7:21
  issues that are going on, the human rights issues that are
• 7:23
  going on in China, all for the sake of trade, of making money.
• 7:28
  I don't. I don't like making that kind of
• 7:31
  concession just for making money anyway.
• 7:33
  So yeah, so you've got that. OK, so they are making a play.
• 7:38
  China has sought to balance its ties with Israel against its
• 7:41
  relations relations with Iran and Syria, two countries that
• 7:47
  are strongly backed by Russia and with which China has forged
• 7:52
  ties for economic reasons as well as to challenge
• 7:55
  Washington's influence in the Middle East.
• 8:00
  So I'll look at that and I think, well, it seems obvious we
• 8:04
  we're if we're not in war, we're definitely heading to war.
• 8:10
  But then have a look at this one as well.
• 8:14
  I'll go through this next, this next one here, this next talk
• 8:20
  straight also when you look at when you look at war and what
• 8:26
  are we? I mean we're not maybe
• 8:28
  physically, physically fighting and people would say, well, it's
• 8:32
  defined by boots on the ground. Is it really?
• 8:35
  I mean you've got all these countries making sanctions,
• 8:38
  taking financial sanctions. Isn't this just an act of war as
• 8:42
  well using financial sanctions? It always another thing that
• 8:47
  astounds me. You know we we talk about how
• 8:51
  again Israel, everyone wants to blame Israel.
• 8:53
  Israel shouldn't be making basically what sanctions against
• 8:59
  the Palestinian Palestinian group even though they
• 9:03
  constantly bomb the nation of Israel and they try making
• 9:06
  sessions. All this we we can go back and
• 9:08
  forth on the politics and who's right and wrong.
• 9:10
  At the end of the day, they basically try and restrict or
• 9:16
  try and monitor what's going in and out of that area because
• 9:19
  they want to restrict how many missiles going in and out.
• 9:22
  And it's also does make me makes you wonder, you know, these
• 9:26
  people are supposedly they can't get food, they can't get petrol,
• 9:30
  they can't get water, but they sure as heck don't seem to run
• 9:33
  out of missiles, do they? It's one thing you can get
• 9:38
  anyway. Israel has sanctions that are
• 9:41
  places, OK, because it's trying to protect themselves.
• 9:43
  And everyone gets up in arms about the UN, gets up in arms
• 9:47
  about it. But then you have, you know, all
• 9:49
  the sanctions that other countries put, like all the
• 9:51
  sanctions they made against Russia.
• 9:54
  This headline here says, are sanctions against Russia making
• 9:57
  a difference? The United States and its allies
• 10:00
  have imposed harsh economic penalties on Russia over its war
• 10:04
  in Ukraine. One year after the invasion
• 10:06
  began, here's what they have achieved, and where critics say
• 10:09
  they've fallen short. I'm not going to read everything
• 10:11
  it says. Since Russia invaded Ukraine,
• 10:14
  the US has implemented a broad sweep of sanctions focused on
• 10:18
  isolating Russia from the global financial system, reducing the
• 10:23
  profitability of its energy sector, and blunting its
• 10:26
  military edge. So This is why.
• 10:29
  But that's just a military tactic.
• 10:32
  This is just, to me, it's an act of war.
• 10:35
  If you're at war with the nation, you do these kinds of
• 10:38
  things. You take, you put sanctions on,
• 10:40
  on people. You know, maybe it's not just
• 10:43
  the standing, having your army at the border and not allowing
• 10:47
  goods and goods to go into the country and starving people out,
• 10:51
  but it's still it's it's isn't it based on the same principles?
• 10:57
  I think it's just an act of war. I think it's another it's
• 11:00
  another sign that we are actually in the midst of World
• 11:03
  War three. Our next headline here with
• 11:06
  wide-ranging and new sanctions. Treasury targets Russian
• 11:09
  military linked elites and industrial base.
• 11:16
  OK Foreign Minister this is an Australian headline.
• 11:19
  Foreign minister calls for humanitarian pause in Israel and
• 11:22
  Gaza conflict after Australia announces extra troop aircraft
• 11:28
  deployment to the Middle East. Extra troop.
• 11:31
  So we've got. I think it's actually they
• 11:34
  didn't give the number if I'll read through this a little bit
• 11:37
  the Fed government will deploy extra troops.
• 11:40
  That's right. It was a little strange because
• 11:43
  they wouldn't give the exact number that was going out.
• 11:46
  They just it's just which it seems a little strange when you
• 11:52
  don't say to me because they're not giving the exact number.
• 11:56
  I would be willing to bet that it's going to be a special
• 12:01
  forces. It's not just our it's not just
• 12:04
  our kind of general general military it'll be our SAS
• 12:11
  definitely our SAS and commandos definitely SAS.
• 12:18
  So the federal government will deploy extra troops and aircraft
• 12:21
  to the Middle East over concerns for the volatile security
• 12:24
  situation. Foreign Minister Penny Wong
• 12:30
  posted the statement to X on Wednesday morning, calling for
• 12:34
  safe, unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access and safe
• 12:39
  passage for civilians in the war zone.
• 12:41
  Acting Prime Minister Richard Miles announced earlier that a
• 12:45
  country that the country would send a significant number of ADF
• 12:50
  troops and 2R double AF aircraft to the Middle East.
• 12:57
  We've already sending, as I said, Bushmasters their vehicle,
• 13:01
  a military vehicle to Ukraine. We've been supplying that to
• 13:04
  them. I'm not as sure what else we've
• 13:08
  been supplying to them. I I would I would actually again
• 13:11
  if I was a betting man which you know in the past I would be
• 13:16
  willing to bet that we've got SAS sitting on the border of
• 13:19
  Ukraine monitoring things and very possibly we've had SAS and
• 13:24
  commandos training helping you train Ukraine troops that's what
• 13:29
  I'd be betting. So but when he says significant
• 13:32
  number and doesn't want to give so and they will they'll join an
• 13:37
  existing aircraft which is in the Middle East.
• 13:39
  So that takes the total number of aircraft to three and with
• 13:43
  them will be a contingent of Australian personnel because
• 13:46
  he's wants to be so vague with the whole thing.
• 13:49
  That's why I think Yep OK it'll be SAS.
• 13:52
  It'll be a special forces guys SAS and commandos here the UK to
• 13:58
  deploy Royal Navy ships to Middle East to bolster security.
• 14:02
  The UK will send the Royal Navy ships and surveillance aircraft
• 14:06
  to the eastern Mediterranean Mediterranean.
• 14:09
  In plans to bolster security is what number 10 says.
• 14:13
  It comes after six days of violence.
• 14:16
  Surprisingly, the attacks from Hamas.
• 14:19
  The aircraft will begin patrols on Friday to track threats. 3
• 14:24
  Merlin helicopters and Royal Marines are also being
• 14:27
  dispatched. The government is also arranging
• 14:30
  flights for British nationals stranded in Israel.
• 14:34
  The first plane was expected to leave Tel Aviv on Thursday.
• 14:38
  A Foreign Office spokesman said the situation around departure
• 14:42
  was fluid. Anyway, Britain sending troops,
• 14:46
  sending, sending ships, sending aircraft.
• 14:50
  The USUS orders more troops to prepare to deploy to the Middle
• 14:55
  East as conflict in Gaza intensifies.
• 14:59
  I believe they've got 2 aircraft carriers, so the air not gonna
• 15:03
  go into the aircraft carriers, but obviously an aircraft
• 15:06
  carrier has, you know a contingent of ships all with it.
• 15:10
  It's a big it's a fleet. I think you refer to it as the
• 15:14
  US military is telling more troops to to prepare to deploy
• 15:18
  to the Middle East and they're sending a second aircraft
• 15:21
  carrier and additional air defenses and defense assets to
• 15:25
  the region as Israel prepares for ground invasion of Gaza.
• 15:30
  The moves are due to recent escalations by Iran and its
• 15:34
  proxy forces. This is the other thing,
• 15:37
  obviously we had the issues the other week where the first lot
• 15:42
  of the aircraft carrier I think were were already deployed and
• 15:47
  they already had to intercept missiles that were being thrown
• 15:50
  that were being sent. This is I'm talking about the
• 15:52
  US, they already intercepted missiles that were being fired
• 15:56
  in their direction either at them or towards Israel.
• 16:00
  So they're they're already joining in.
• 16:04
  You mightn't be like actually, you know, going in and bombing
• 16:08
  the ground, but you're intercepting missiles, you're
• 16:10
  using weapons. The Defense Secretary said he'd
• 16:14
  ordered an unspecified number of troops to receive prepare to
• 16:17
  deploy orders, and funny, everyone's unspecified the
• 16:21
  number of troops to prepare them, ready to leave quickly if
• 16:25
  needed. The Pentagon It said Tuesday
• 16:27
  that 2000 U.S. troops from a variety of units have been given
• 16:31
  a prepare to deploy order. So and what the US will be
• 16:38
  sending air defense assets, including a Terminal High
• 16:41
  Altitude Air Defense of THAD Battery and additional Patriot
• 16:45
  battalions to bases in the region.
• 16:49
  Rocket and drone attacks have targeted U.S. troops in Iraq and
• 16:52
  Syria as militant groups respond to the aftermath of Israel's
• 16:56
  military response. And the attack led to the death
• 17:01
  of AUS defense contractor. That's very, very sad.
• 17:08
  So there you go. the US has deployed troops.
• 17:10
  I think there there was another article I'd read and that said
• 17:13
  that they had actually deployed so far 900 troops to that area.
• 17:18
  I'm not sure on numbers with that.
• 17:21
  It seemed to me that's not including the the people that
• 17:25
  are actually connected with the the the aircraft carriers.
• 17:31
  Obviously there's a lot of people aboard all those ships
• 17:34
  with the aircraft carriers. So you got 900 troops, you got
• 17:37
  the two aircraft aircraft carriers, all the ships involved
• 17:41
  with that. You got Britain sending troops
• 17:44
  over, you've got Australia sending an unknown amount of
• 17:48
  troops, unspecified amount of troops, plus also planes going
• 17:53
  over. You've also got obviously
• 17:56
  Israel's fighting Hamas, Iran's involved with Hezbollah and
• 18:02
  things like this. You've got Ukraine and Russia
• 18:05
  fighting. You've got China involved
• 18:10
  through kind of like backdoor scenarios with Russia showing
• 18:14
  their support, with Russia helping Russia financially,
• 18:18
  Russia and China doing deals on the side with Iran, with Syria.
• 18:25
  Germany's obviously also involved as well with helping
• 18:28
  to, helping to train and helping to arm Ukraine in other
• 18:33
  countries. I can't remember all now, but
• 18:36
  back back to my initial thoughts, My question, are we
• 18:41
  actually in the middle of World War Three?
• 18:43
  Because there's a flippant lot of countries involved with
• 18:46
  various fights all around the world, and it really seems to me
• 18:50
  like we're in the middle of World War Three, just no one's
• 18:52
  actually announced it. So I'm not going to say it's my
• 18:58
  maybe I should just say my opinion.
• 19:01
  I think we are in the middle or at the start or somewhere.
• 19:03
  I think we're involved in World War 3 Three currently.
• 19:08
  As things stand, really want to know what you think?
• 19:12
  Let me know. I would say scary times, but I
• 19:18
  also think that everything is in in God's control.
• 19:25
  That's all my opinion. Thank you for listening to the
• 19:28
  slippery and this is a slippery slippery slope, this fighting.
• 19:33
  Wow, thanks for listening. They
