Unraveling of the American Empire | Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
America exists today to make war. That is how retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson opens this devastating, unflinching interview about the American empire, nuclear escalation, Israel, Ukraine, and the very real possibility that World War III could end human civilization. From the inside corridors of power with Colin Powell to the manufactured case for the Iraq War and today’s proxy conflicts with Russia, China, and Iran, Wilkerson lays out how oligarchs, the military‑industrial complex, and a captured media are driving the United States toward a nuclear abyss.
This conversation is not punditry; it is a whistleblower’s indictment of an empire in decline—and a warning that the next miscalculation in Gaza, Ukraine, or Iran could be the one that triggers mushroom clouds. Wilkerson explains why Israel cannot win a war with Iran, why NATO and the EU are quietly coming apart, why most American youth would flee a major draft, and why accommodating the global power shift to Asia is the only non‑suicidal path left. If you want to understand how World War III actually starts—and how it might still be prevented—watch this to the end and share it before it’s too late.
