**Global Research, November 10, 2023** – The world is witnessing the unfolding of World War III, a conflict that began with the inauguration of US President Joe Biden in January 2021, argues Richard C. Cook, co-founder and lead investigator of the American Geopolitical Institute.

Cook contends that the US, acting as the face of the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire, has been actively seeking global conquest for over a century. While the threat of nuclear war looms, he believes the Empire and its globalist ideology are already in a state of collapse, leading to a panicked retreat characterized by escalating tensions, provocations, and bluster.

The Ukraine conflict, a proxy war against Russia, is seen as a key element in the Empire’s attempt to maintain its dominance. However, Russia’s annexation of Crimea and four eastern Ukrainian oblasts, along with the growing BRICS+ community and the emergence of a multipolar world, indicate the Empire’s waning influence.

Cook further argues that the US has been engaging in a long history of undeclared wars, often utilizing congressional “resolutions” to authorize force rather than formal declarations of war. He points to the Vietnam War, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) following 9/11, the destruction of Yugoslavia, and numerous “color revolutions” orchestrated by the CIA and its allies.

The Middle East crisis, with Israel’s escalating conflict with Hamas and the “Axis of Resistance” comprising Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other groups, is seen as another focal point of the ongoing war. Cook suggests that Israel, with strong backing from the US and the Israel Lobby, is actively pushing for a major regional war that could escalate into a global conflict.

In conclusion, Cook believes that the US Empire’s implosion and the rise of multipolarity have led to the start of World War III. The potential for a nuclear confrontation remains a grave concern, especially as the US seeks to maintain its waning dominance. The growing economic power of BRICS+ and the rise of regional alliances are challenging the existing order, paving the way for a new world order.
