The World at the Moment of Historical Break: Have We Entered World War III Without Declaration?

The world is no longer experiencing scattered crises, but rather a single historical moment taking shape slowly, through the power of weapons, economy, and alliances. From Venezuela and Cuba to Greenland, from Ukraine to Gaza, and from South Asia to the Red Sea, the foundations of the old international order are disintegrating, and a new system is rising without clear brakes, driven by the logic of domination rather than balance, in a scene that raises the most dangerous question: Has the world actually entered a stage of World War III in a new modern way without anyone daring to name it?

The spark came from Ukraine

The outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war was not a transient border dispute but a blatant breach of the international rules established after the Cold War. Moscow redefined the concepts of power and sovereignty, while the West redefined sanctions and the economy as long-term weapons of war, marking the beginning of a sharp polarization that practically ended the illusion of international stability.

In Gaza, the explosion of the Greater Middle East

October 7 revealed that the Middle East is no longer a stage for local conflicts but a testing ground for the new global system. Israel's war on Gaza was not merely a confrontation with an armed faction but an attempt to re-engineer the region: striking Hamas, exhausting and neutralizing Hezbollah, dismantling the Syrian geography, neutralizing the Yemen front, and repositioning influence in the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, amid near-total international silence.

The hours of war between India and Pakistan as proxy wars

In the heart of Asia, where nuclear and economic interests intersect, the world witnessed a weapons expo and a rehearsal for a mini world war during the brief confrontation between India and Pakistan. Those hours were merely a calculated show of strength between two nuclear powers, directed by the logic of messages rather than decisive force, signaling to the major powers behind the scenes. The result was neither victory nor defeat but solidifying South Asia as a theater for international proxy confrontation, deepening the precariousness of the global deterrence system.

A new version of the New Middle East!!!

The map of alliances is changing at a rapid pace, with a Saudi-Qatari axis facing Emirati expansion in Sudan and other African countries, a cautious and calculated Turkish-Iranian repositioning, and an overt Israeli entry into the African depths via what is termed "the new Somalia" to enhance military presence in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa. We are witnessing a new Middle East being drawn up by military maps, not diplomatic conferences.

The Palestinians outside the world equations

In the heart of this geopolitical earthquake, the Palestinian people today find themselves in the harshest position: outside the calculations of almost everyone. In the West Bank, trust in the Palestinian Authority is eroding both internally and externally, and its ability to represent a unified national project or even protect the minimum of political and economic rights is diminishing. In Gaza, the war left nothing but human and political ruins; Hamas was destroyed along with the social and economic structure of the sector, leaving the Palestinian trapped amidst the rubble of war and the absence of hope.

The Palestinian reality is no longer an administrative crisis but a tragedy of political existence: no unified national project, no trustworthy leadership, no international backing, and not even a clear position at the upcoming regional arrangements table. While Donald Trump redistributes the maps of the world based on sheer interests, the leaders of the Israeli occupation—Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich—practice the same method on the Palestinians: managing conflict without solutions, escalation without limits, and imposing realities by force on an unarmed people, all amid an international silence that makes the Palestinian tragedy a marginal detail in a rapidly and harshly changing global scene. Today, the Palestinian is not a party to the ongoing international conflict but rather its most costly victim.

Trump's Return: The President Who Does Not Recognize the Rules of the Game

Donald Trump's return to the White House is not the return of a traditional president but an overwhelming power project: indirect deals with Russia and China, redefinition of international relations in terms of interests, pressures on Venezuela, threats to Cuba, public blackmail of Denmark regarding Greenland, and strategic hints to China concerning Taiwan. Trump today waves his stick at the countries of the world amidst near-absolute obedience from the leaders of these countries.

The Multipolar World is a Great Lie: The Unipolar Reality We Live

The world is no longer multipolar as propagated. We are quietly and horrifyingly transitioning to a unipolar system that plans and decides and reshapes the seven continents from the Oval Office, while international institutions regress to the role of silent witnesses.

In summary, a War Without Declaration

What we are experiencing is not a fragile peace but a silent global war: its tools are economic, its battlefields are political, its results geopolitical, and its fuel is the blood of weak peoples.

The question today is no longer: Will World War III occur?

But rather: Are we indeed inside it… without even having the courage to acknowledge that?
