The big question — What if Putin did not start the third world war?

What if the sky falls? What if Putin started the third world war? What will happen if China helps Russia?

When I worried about things, my mother asked: “what if the sky falls?”

I did not know but worried it would be extremely dark and fearful. My mother had the answer: “Then everybody will wear blue caps.”

What my mother also explained about worries is that worrying does not solve problems. It is what you do about the situation that makes the difference. Sometimes a problem develops without warning. Then it would help if you handled the crisis. Many times, there are warning signs that you are unaware of or you are too lazy to do something about it. Often you are too busy to notice the warning signs.

When you are responsible and wide awake, you will ask what if.

The warning signs from Putin.

Putin decided to invade Ukraine. The warning signs were there for a few years, but nobody did anything to prevent it. Only when the Russian army started with their so-called exercise that the world react. Could the war have been prevented if Europe had acted sooner? The answer is unclear because if Europe had worked differently, the war might have been sooner or stopped, depending on the actions.

The war opened new warning signs with far more severe consequences if ignored.

The present situation.

The war does not follow Putin’s plans, and Russia experiences problems Putin did not expect. Putin asked China to help because the sanctions from Europe put Russia in an economically poor situation. Although it will be disastrous for Europe, extreme sanctions may force Putin to stop. Europe and the rest of the world will survive.

It might have been better for Putin to ask a few more times what if before he went into his maniacal desire for power. Read the article https://juliusds.medium.com/the-power-of-power-182fdaf981bd here. Did Putin forget what Lenin said: “Can a person be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.” Why did Putin ignore his predecessor with the desire to oppress Ukraine?

Let us ask the question, what if.

What if the war goes on and China decides to help Russia? Will that create the third world war?

China worked towards world dominion for many years. This war is an excellent opportunity to prove their power. Will they ask the what-if question?

Let us look at China.

China believes in working slowly but surely. They started many years ago with a system to overthrow the world.

What did China do?

1.) They infiltrated communities

2.) They took over the international market

3.) They took command of large manufacturing companies worldwide.

4.) They propagated atheism.

A.) They infiltrated communities.

For many years the Chinese people immigrated to other countries, forming their communities. They started many small businesses in competition with the local businesses.

B.) They took over the international market.

The Chinese flooded the world market with cheap products. It seems China produces most products.

C.) They took command of large companies.

The Chinese have control over many important companies worldwide, of which about 217 are in America.

D.) They propagated atheism.

Lenin said: “Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”

Why will atheism work? It is easy to influence a person who believes in nothing.

Since the 1950s, the New Age movement started a campaign using music to promote freedom, paganism, and atheism. Presently, paganism is growing alarming, and Christianity deteriorates as quickly.

What does the Russian war have to do with the Chinese?

Putin is in trouble because his plans did not work out according to his imagination. He needs help and requests the Chinese to assist. According to China, they did not offer to help. The problem is, can we trust China?

If China is not ready for war, it will not help Russia directly. They may, however, send help via another country such as Iraq or even South Africa.

This war may destroy Russia and Ukraine, with the rest of the world suffering seriously. Europe will respond and send help to Ukraine, creating the war to last long. In the meantime, China, and hopefully Europe, will have time to prepare for war.

That will be the third world war.

Can Europe threaten China with sanctions?

Should America threaten China with sanctions, 217 companies worth 2.2 trillion dollars in America will close. How many other companies globally will close? How many small businesses will disappear? Where will the goods come from to replace the Chinese merchandise?

Notice the warning signs.

Regardless of how this war will end, what if China decides to declare war in the future? Not Europe or any other country will be able to use sanctions against China, which will control the war according to its plans.

What if China decides to help Putin now? Perhaps it will be wise to do something to stop China from invading the world’s economy.

The conclusion.

China may not be ready for a takeover. There are too many possibilities to consider, and fortunately, China prefers to work slowly. The problem is that unforeseen may force a country to make unwanted decisions. Other countries will have to respond.

The other possibility is that China wants to try its strength. Did China perhaps motivate Putin to start the war?

Is this perhaps the time to find the solutions to the what-if questions?
