Before the War

by Karl Richter

Karl Richter draws parallels between the current conflict in Ukraine and the two world wars, explaining why we are now entering the Third World War with eyes wide open.

There remains a popular belief about the First World War that the nations of Europe stumbled into it out of sheer delusion and political stupidity. This perspective is exemplified in the bestseller The Sleepwalkers (2012) by the Australian historian Christopher Clark. However, this view is inaccurate. International Masonic and financial circles had been working towards the Great War, the fall of monarchies, and the implementation of Western democracy for decades. The First World War was the product of long-term interest and intrigue in politics by Western background circles.

The same applies to the Second World War. Although Hitler was the most vocal participant, it is no longer a secret that he was merely driven by circumstances, as the Second World War was predetermined by the end of the First. Poland alone attempted several times in the 1920s and 1930s, with the help of Western powers, to provoke war against Germany. The trigger in 1939 was the ongoing terrorisation of the German ethnic group in Poland — encouraged by British-American masterminds. Incidentally, it is precisely the same constellation, including the main participants, that Putin faces today. Unlike Hitler, he waited eight years, from 2014 to 2022, before coming to the aid of the persecuted Russian population in the neighbouring country. In the extensive interview conducted by Tucker Carlson in February, Putin indicated that he is aware of the historical parallels.
