Are we already in WWIII, even if most of us haven’t realized it yet? It is a scary thought, but one weighing heavily on a few minds.
Sir Richard Dearlove, former chief of the British foreign intelligence service MI6, recently suggested in a Sky News interview there is an “actual war” underway with the Russians, albeit through non-military “hybrid conflict” such as acts of sabotage.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, said in an October speech that WWIII had “already begun,” citing multiple conflicts in different countries and the risks this all posed: “We run scenarios that would shock you. I don’t even want to mention them.”
NATO’s European states are quietly preparing for it. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his allies are warning of it. And the Ukraine war is already a global affair, as international partners support either side with personnel and materiel.
Conflicts are brewing or breaking out everywhere, from Europe to the Middle East and the Far East, some interrelated to Russia’s war on Ukraine.
So is this now a moment in which we can say WWIII has already begun? Newsweek put the question to a range of experts. This is what they said.
