It appears that the Russia-Ukraine war will escalate into World War III after the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, on Thursday, assured that Ukraine will join U.S.-led NATO military alliance.
Blinken said Ukraine will eventually join NATO as support for the country remains “rock solid” among member states.
“Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership,” Blinken told reporters in Brussels.
In the same vein, a Russian Security Council official warned that if Ukraine is admitted into the NATO, then the conflict in Ukraine would be guaranteed to escalate into World War Three.
Aside from the Russia-Ukraine war in Europe, the Middle East is also leading what many fear might escalate into a world war, with Israel being the antagonist in the eyes of six militant groups in neighbouring countries.
According to The Associate Press, Iran and its allies are the latest to announce an attack against Israel, and will be joining forces with Hamas, armed groups in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, including the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Iran announced yesterday it will revenge the death of its top generals killed by Israel’s airstrike a few days ago.
It was gathered that Iranian leaders renewed their promise to hit back after an airstrike widely blamed on Israel destroyed Iran’s Consulate in Syria, killing 12 people, including two elite Iranian generals.
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said Wednesday the attack “will not remain without answer.”
The U.S. is concerned the deadly strike in Damascus could trigger new attacks on American troops by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria, said Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the top U.S. Air Force commander for the Middle East. CONTINUE READING
