A respected historian has revealed three key signs that the next world war has already begun and may have been ongoing for years. Anthony Glees, Emeritus Professor at the University of Buckingham, called the US and Israeli decision to attack Iran a ‘war of choice’ and the first red flag, which previously led to the last two world wars.  He claimed that the conflict in the Middle East did not start of necessity or self-defense, but as a deliberate decision by two leaders focused on gaining power and keeping it. Next, Glees alleged that both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu share the same mindset that ‘might is right,’ even if that means ignoring international law. The historian warned that such attitudes have appeared before among aggressive regimes that have invaded nearby nations to satisfy their own ambitions. Lastly, Glees claimed that Trump and Netanyahu displayed a commitment to continuing the bloodshed instead of seeking a quick resolution to stop the war.
