Has World War III Already Begun?

We believe there are four fronts on what may end up becoming a global conflict, Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Sahel in Africa.

Of the four fronts the last one is the least known by Americans. For the French and the Russians however, the Sahel, the transition area between the Sahara and the wetter equatorial parts of Africa, is front of mind.

Over the past half decade the region, dominated by France for decades, has been upended. Part of the reason for the chaos is that Russia’s Wagner Group (now called the Russian Africa Corps), was facilitating at least some of the unrest in the region.

Macron and France got punched in the nose by Russia in Africa. This is (likely) part of the reason Paris has been ratcheting up the rhetoric toward Moscow with regard to Ukraine of late.
