➡ The situation between India and Pakistan is escalating rapidly, with conflicts escalating from a minor terrorist incident to the brink of nuclear war in just a few weeks. The Pakistani Prime Minister has called a meeting of the National Command Authority, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons, signaling a potential nuclear response. Meanwhile, India is mobilizing additional forces along the border and activating its reserve territorial army. The situation is fluid and could potentially lead to full-scale war, with both sides already launching attacks and counterattacks.
➡ Despite no attacks during the Victory Day Parade, there were four attempted incursions in Russia, including a drone hitting a government building in Belgorod. Trump proposes a 30-day ceasefire, but both Ukrainians and Russians are skeptical. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff talks and changing stance on Iran are causing confusion. Lastly, North Korea is holding nuclear counter-attack drills, raising concerns about potential conflict.

All right, this is your World War 3 update. Here’s what time it is. Now, I was not going to make another video tonight, but people are blowing up my phone. It’s vibrating non-stop. People are insatiable for this doom and gloom stuff. I just released a video two hours ago. I figure Friday night, nice blue strip, family-friendly, G-rated, boilerplate stuff for all the greenhorns out there, survival preps under 100 bucks or something, and of course, here we go. Duty calls. Now, here’s what’s going down. In the last 48 hours, things have taken a turn for the worst, as you probably already know.

If anything, I want people to just step back and just look at this from a bird’s eye layman point of view and really put things in perspective at how rapidly this situation has progressed. Nothing best exemplifies the unprecedented times that we are living in than the rapid escalation that we’re seeing with Pakistan and India. We’re talking about something that started with a relatively benign terrorist incident, okay? Yes, there’s a history behind it. I get that. But, I mean, these kind of things have happened before in the past, and they haven’t escalated so quickly. So that tells you that we’re just in a more stressed global order or disorder right now, which could foster such rapid acceleration.

And you went from a benign terrorist incident to being on the cusp of thermonuclear Armageddon within the span of a couple weeks. That’s pretty crazy. We’re talking about skyrocketing up the escalation ladder. Get a load of this. The Pakistan Prime Minister has called an urgent meeting of the National Command Authority, the body overseeing the country’s nuclear weapons, according to the state broadcaster. Now, Pakistan is signaling to India that they’re considering a range of options, some of them being nuclear. Now, why would they do this? If you’re not paying attention, you’ll know, or if you are paying attention, you’ll know that it started with this terrorist incident.

Then India responded. Pakistan responded to that. India responded. Pakistan responded in a big way today, and it’s been snowballing. And in fact, that’s Pakistan’s stated strategy, that it’s not just an eye for an eye, but it’s an eye for an eye. And then we raise the stakes every single time. And so I presume that Pakistan, knowing that ultimately India has more manpower, has a greater budget, has more capable weapons systems, although the jury’s still out on that. They have a nuclear triad. Ultimately, Pakistan needs to put everything on the table right now, because India is about to retaliate in a big, big way.

There was massive attacks, 300 drones, allegedly, across India today. Some people were saying they were flying over New Delhi. Air bases were struck. There were Indian pilots captured. And a lot of this stuff, the propaganda, is so thick. It’s actually incredibly, horrendously amateur. Okay. That’s the only way I can describe it, especially on the Indian side. I’m listening to one of these Indian reporters, and they have a on-the-ground, you know, commentator. And they’re talking about how we just got word that a high-ranking officer was killed in this attack on our air base. And then the guy interrupts them and says, oh, we must go now to see this footage of watching India intercept the Pakistani missile.

And it just completely unrelated. It was actually old. Anyways, the propaganda is sickening, all right? So what you need to know is that Pakistan apparently, you know, sent a message today, and the Indians aren’t too happy about it. So now they’re going into large-scale mobilization mode across the border. We’re talking about ground forces, okay? We’re about to enter into a possible full-on combined arms warfare situation. We’ve already seen the ballistic missiles fly. We’ve seen the fighter jet dogfights, the biggest ones in recent history. We’ve seen naval vessels being deployed, aircraft carriers. The Indian Navy is being leveraged.

So this is getting wildly out of control very, very quickly. And if they’re already talking about nukes, and the way they talk about their nuclear weapons is so flippant, and they have a lot of them, and they could inflict a lot of damage. Now, would India wipe them off the face of the earth? Absolutely. And it appears as though the consensus is within the circles of people who actually know what’s going on here. I am not one of those people. But this is age-old’s divide and conquer, the socio-historical remnants of British Empire-type meddling, and maybe some Mossad and CIA and, you know, MI5 and all those types of things, you know, blended into one.

There’s a lot going on with China, but we’re not going to get into the macro-geopolitical analysis of this. Let’s just focus on this, because it’s such a fluid situation. Now, here’s what’s going on. The Indian military has initiated a significant mobilization of additional forces along the border, including the activation of its reserve territorial army to ensure that the army maintains full operational readiness in case of a further escalation of the conflict. So, we don’t know what India’s response is going to be just yet, but we can surmise that it’s likely going to be substantial, all right? Because India wouldn’t have initiated this war if they didn’t plan on seeing it through to the finish.

Let’s get one thing clear. India has 1.5 billion people. That country is getting hotter and hotter every year. I’m sure water scarcity is an issue, and like a lot of these things, that’s what this is going to be about. It’s going to be a war for resources, but again, I promised I wasn’t going to get into the macro-geopolitical stuff, but there we go. All India Institute of Medical Sciences have been cancelled, all kinds of leave vacation stations, and more amid rising tensions. So, doctors, nurses can’t take any kind of leave. They’re mobilized, just as Pakistan is.

Apparently, there was some prescribed blackouts today in certain places in order to, I guess, make it more difficult for the Pakistani missiles to meet their targets. I presume, although Pakistan is claiming that they’ve done major cyber attacks across the country, inflicting damage on 70% of the power grid, which is incredibly unlikely, to be brutally honest, but I don’t know how India’s power grid is wired. Pakistan also is claiming that they’ve completely destroyed airbases, which again, would be very unlikely if they’re only using conventional weapons. What does that mean? Did you blow up the entire airstrip? Did you just blow up the hangars, you know, like planes? There is some pretty good evidence that Pakistan lost some of its, one of its AWACS planes, but I mean, there’s just so much.

I mean, just go on X or some, you know, watch real, somebody who’s broadcasting in real time if you want all the minutia. I’m just kind of giving you an overview. The Indians are claiming that they’ve shot down a couple Pakistani aircraft. And of course, the Pakistanis are claiming that they actually have captured a female Indian pilot. And there’s video footage of this. Okay, so pretty substantial. They claim that they have completely destroyed India’s Sirsa airfield, although you’re never going to hear India. I mean, if we, if we thought that Ukraine and Russia was bad guys, you know, you know how worlds apart they are in terms of the numbers.

Ukraine saying they lost, what, 30,000 guys. Russia is saying they lost a million. I mean, it’s going to be like, you know, the spectrum is going to be even more vast. The chasm between what one side and the other side says is going to be massive. So don’t expect to get any truth out of this matter. They’re talking about 300 drones descended across the Indian country. Delhi residents rushing to bunkers. Again, we don’t know. I mean, do they even have bunkers in New Delhi? I don’t know. Four airbases in Pakistan were targeted by Indian airstrikes.

Pakistan has launched a major cyber attack on 70% of the Indian electricity grid. All planes have been grounded. Of course, there’s been an items that’s been in effect for the last few hours over Pakistan. So this shit is totally serious. Now, who knows where that’s going to be? By the time this video releases, we could already see a nuclear detonation. To be brutally honest, the way things are progressing. Now that the balls in India’s court, I would say that when you don’t know whose turn it is anymore, that’s how you know you’re in a full blown war.

And that, and only then, is a sign that this thing has, you know, gone really, really hot. For now, they’re still kind of taking turns, sort of. There’s ongoing skirmishes along the line of contact, but there’s definitely, you know, big attacks, retaliatory strikes occurring. Russia is going to be closing its skies over Kapustinyar, a test site, where the Oreshnik is launched from at 6 a.m. on May 12th to 4 a.m. on May 13th. Russia is temporarily closing the airspace over the Volgograd and Suratov regions, covering the Kapustinyar test site. This is stated in a NOTM from the Rostov FIR.

The restrictions apply from the ground to unlimited altitude, which is typical for ballistic missile tests. The message includes the Code BO, which usually includes a combat or test launch. Now, is this real world or exercise? I guess we’re going to find out. During the Victory Day Parade today, there was no attacks on the parade itself. As many people suspected, that would be a stretch. And even if they were able to pull it off, or even if they were to try to attack, they likely wouldn’t have pulled it off because Russia had so much air defense around there, I think 280 air defense batteries from what I recall.

And there was four attempts at incursions throughout Russia. Not just the front, the annex territories, but I believe it was in Belgorod. And there was also a drone that hit a government building inside Belgorod. So Trump is proposing a 30-day ceasefire. We’re basically right where we were two months ago with that whole thing. Nothing’s going to happen. The Ukrainians now are saying, yes, we agree to an unconditional ceasefire. And the Russians are saying, well, that’s only because you want to take time to rearm. So, you know, nobody’s buying it. Nobody’s listening. Now Trump’s just kind of talking to himself like a madman, to be brutally honest, because the Chinese haven’t said one word.

And now he’s talking about 80% tariffs, 34% tariffs. I mean, it’s kind of embarrassing at this point. But, you know, it’s just an empire in its death throes, essentially, is what it is. Wyckoff has now given an ultimatum. Okay, they’ve done a complete 180 on Iran once again. And you have all of this phony baloney stuff going on with Trump. Oh, yeah, Higgs says, counseling is tripping. Trump and Netanyahu are enemies now. And, oh, yeah, Trump’s going to recognize Palestine. If you’re stupid enough to believe that, remember when Trump was just saying, oh, yeah, we’re going to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

Netanyahu is my best buddy. Here, I’m going to pull the chair out for him. Oh, yeah, we’re going to… What else did they say? Oh, yeah, we’re going to, you know, destroy the Houthis. We’re going to destroy the Iranians, yada, yada, yada. We’re going to impose secondary sanctions and all this stuff. And now the complete opposite is true. And everybody’s falling for this. This is classic bait and switch type stuff. This is classic controlled opposition. All they’re trying to do is distance themselves from their proxy so that when Israel does some shit, and they have to come in and rescue Israel, which they will, then it can appear as though while they’re just an impartial, you know, third party who’s coming to the aid of their ally.

That’s what that’s all about. Go watch the video we did with Brian Berletic, where we talk about the research paper that details in depth exactly what they’re doing now. The textbook strategy of how they’re going to wage war with Iran by playing this good cop, bad cop game the whole time. But the mask is coming off because here’s Whitcoff’s ultimatum. Trump administration envoy, Steve Whitcoff, the only guy who’s really talking to anybody in both Russia and Iran, in a significant statement ahead of the round of nuclear talks with Iran on Sunday, said we must dismantle the three uranium enrichment facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The uranium enrichment program in Iran can no longer exist. They can’t have centrifuges. That’s our red line and no enrichment. Now, this is a far cry. And this shows you how duplicitous these guys are, right? Because this isn’t what Whitcoff was saying before, at least not in the public. And now he’s retweeting Pete Hegseth’s death threats to Iran, which essentially amount to nuclear threats in Iran. Let me just turn my, I’ve been sitting in the car too long. So when I do that, the lights go off. It’s a precautionary measure, so we don’t drain the battery.

Might be draining a battery tonight. We will not accept a bad deal with Iran, he says. We will withdraw if we feel the agreement is not strong. We think the talks on Sunday will not be productive. If we think the talks on Sunday will not be productive, we will choose a different path, okay? So they’ve resurrected these talks on Sunday. Now, this is only after Trump is pretending that he is the enemy of Israel and all this stuff. And remember, all this stuff came from Israeli radio. I can tell you, because I closely monitor Israeli influencer accounts, I can tell you that there is a concerted effort right now to make it appear as though Trump and Israel are at odds.

It’s concerted. I’m 100% positive, guys. Trust me. What Berletik says is true. This is what I do all day, and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is coordinated. Now, we’re just going to leave it at that. We’re going to see what happens on Sunday, okay? I have a sneaking suspicion. It’s just going to be more stalling, more temporizing. North Korea holds nuclear counter-attack drills, all right? So, yeah, they were doing, you know, with the ballistic missile tests, nuclear counter-attack drills. So things could pop off. I mean, if we’ve seen how quickly things popped off of Pakistan and India, you know that they could go the same way anywhere else on the map.

And yet, we’re still going to have normalcy Normans out there. Oh, boy. What else do we got? I think that’s about it. I got to get to work. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and do yourself a favor. Go watch our most recent Blue Strip video. Survival props under 100 bucks. A lot of cool items in there. Thanks a lot. Take care. [tr:trw].
