I think he is right. Smart guy, probably worth more than everyone reading CD today put together.

Bill Ackman says Russia’s attack on Ukraine means World War III has likely already started

“In January 2020, I had nightmares about the potential for a pandemic, but everyone seemed to think I was crazy. I am having similar nightmares now,” Ackman said via Twitter late Saturday.

On Saturday, Ackman said that “WWIII has likely started already, but we have been slow to recognize it,” although he added that there was “much more we can do before we enter a hot war with Russia.”

The U.S. “could stop the absurdity of buying oil from Russia and funding the war, [and] Europe could follow suit once demand for gas declines in the Spring,” Ackman said.

The one thing I disagree with him is the China solution as mediator.
I'd rather see a United Nations coalition bomb the **** out of that convoy. Problem solved, as well as future problems.

It would solve one problem but might lead to Putin using nukes.

That will always be his trump card. And that's the problem, as Ackman points out.
You either deal with him now, or deal with him as he rolls over Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, etc....

We don't have the will to deal with him now. Neither does Europe. It would take an event that could not be ignored like Russia setting off tactical nukes or attacking over the Ukraine border. Putin knows this and I am sure wants to avoid this sort of thing.

He's an idiot.

Everybody knows the US has been after the eastern Russian republics since you adopted the Middle East/Central Asia/Siberian Geo-Strategy back in 1974.

Iraq Part Uno: Nf3 Ne4
Yugoslavia: Qb8 b5
Afghanistan: Ne5 Kg7
Iraq Part Deux: Kg1 Bc5 Check
Northern Africa: Kf1 Ng3 Check
Ukraine (the illegal overthrow): Ke1 Bb4 Check
Crimea (Russia's counter-move): Pawn x Knight
Syria Kd1 Bb3 Check
Ukraine (Russia's counter-move): Pawn x Bishop
Iran: Kc1 Ne2 Check?
Central Asia: Kb1 Nc3 Check?
Eastern Russian Republics: Kc1 Rc2 Checkmate?

To block Iran: Kc1 Ne2 Check Russia should counter with Russia and China entering into a treaty with Iran, or better yet, have India enter into a treaty with Iran.

Since the US withdrew from Afghanistan, I would say good possibility 5-6 years after Ukraine dies down look for a false flag accusing Iran and Taliban of being allies and the US invading.

The real problem here is Biden’s “solution”.

He might get oil from Venezuela, Iran, or Saudi Arabia. As if those are all good and wholesome countries, right? They all have our best interests at heart, right?

He is pushing Russia into an economic crisis. They could sell nukes, missiles, do state sponsored cyber attacks, whatever.

Just throwing this out here, but if Russia annexes a non-NATO country, how is that worse than Biden’s “solutions” to the problem?

I don't think it's likely that the Russia-Ukraine conflict leads to a third world war, but I don't rule it out. I consider it a possibility. However, I will say that nuclear weapons were not created to sit idle, they were created to be used..... and they will be.

WW3 was going since roughly 2008.
It is a new type of war, a HYBRID war, using not necessarily hot conflicts. Plandemic was part of that war - and was global. Psychological, ideological, info warfare, all that was employed.
