WW3 Threat Assessment: The West Is Collapsing, Can We Stop It?!
4 segments available
“Many people think we’re on the cusp of World War Three, but I believe WW3 has already begun” - Andrew Bustamante Today’s conversation isn’t as straightforward, but it’s critically important. Conflict zones around the world have increased by 66% in just three years. Nearly half of the world’s leading strategists think nuclear weapons will be used within the decade. We’re at a tipping point, and we need to understand what's coming next. I’ve brought together three incredible minds, Benjamin Radd, a senior fellow at UCLA and an expert on political conflict in Iran; Annie Jacobsen, an investigative journalist specialising in U.S. national security; and Andrew Bustamante, former CIA spy and nuclear weapons expert. These guests bring firsthand experience, intelligence expertise, and decades of research to unravel the truth behind the world's growing tensions. I invited Benjamin, Annie, and Andrew because when it comes to the reality of conflict and nuclear threats, they’ve been at the frontlines. Their insights don’t just theorise about war, they've lived it, investigated it, and seen the consequences up close. In an era of misinformation and fear, these voices provide clarity and value. We cover: - Why World War 3 may have already started, without us realising? - How _____ could trigger global war without firing a single shot… - How misinformation and AI are becoming more powerful than armies. - Why we are just one miscommunication away from nuclear disaster! - The dangerous isolation of global leaders from reality, and why it matters. With all the chaos unfolding around the globe, this is the conversation you cannot afford to miss. The potential consequences are not distant hypotheticals, they’re real.

Segments Timeline
The Start of World War III?
Andrew Bustamante posits that we may already be in the early stages of World War III, emphasizing the modern nature of conflict that doesn't resemble past wars. He warns that we are perilously close to nuclear annihilation due to misunderstandings, miscalculations, or even AI-generated misinformation.
"I believe that we are already at the early stages if not in World War II. It just doesn't look like the wars of the past. And people should understand what is at stake, which is we are one misundersta..."
Finding Safe Zones in a War-Torn World
In a discussion about safety during potential global conflict, Bustamante reveals that traditional safe zones like Hawaii and Europe may not be secure due to their strategic importance. He highlights the challenges of identifying truly safe locations amidst escalating tensions.
"But is there anywhere on this map that is safe in a war? So my understanding is that there's actually three safe zones. You are right. There's Hawaii. No, because there are so many targets in Hawaii a..."
The New Face of Warfare
Bustamante discusses how modern warfare has shifted from military might to cyber capabilities, where a small group can destabilize nations from afar. He points out the internal divisions within the U.S. political landscape that can be exploited by adversaries like Russia and China.
"conflict and warfare? Now, it's getting worse. And in the past, it was whoever had the strongest military. Now, you can destabilize a government or a society using a server farm and 20 people sitting ..."
Proxy Wars and Their Implications
Annie Jacobsen introduces the concept of proxy wars, where wealthy nations fund conflicts in less affluent states to weaken their primary targets. This strategy is already in play, raising concerns about the potential for escalation into broader conflicts, including nuclear war.
"division. Angie, what do you think happens next? Well, I think World War II is going to be shaped by what we call proxy war, where a wealthy nation state funds, trains, and arms conflict in a less wea..."
