The "Epic Fury" of World War III: I Do Declare!

Just what are YOU waiting for?

The Declaration And My Independence

“I do declare!” is a quintessential, often theatrical, Southern expression used to convey extreme surprise, astonishment, or emphasis, commonly associated with the 19th-century “Southern Belle” mythology. It is historically linked to characters like Scarlet O’Hara (from the film Gone With The Wind) and often used in a polite or genteel context. It acts as an exclamation of shock and awe.

Shock and awe.

Yesterday, the U.S. Senate defeated a war powers resolution in a 47-53 vote, that aimed to compel President Donald “Smitty” Trump to halt unauthorized military actions against Iran. The duopolistic bipartisan measure sought to invoke the 1973 War Powers Act to terminate military action initiated without congressional approval. Under the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8), only Congress has the authority to formally declare war.

Nonetheless, kabuki theater notwithstanding, Congress has formally declared war only 11 times, starting with the War of 1812 and last in 1942 during World War II. Yet, since World War II, the “US” has engaged in major wars (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) and many other smaller wars without formal declarations, often utilizing Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) instead. Modern presidents often assert authority under Article II to use military force leading to perpetual, and meaningless, disputes over congressional versus executive power.

I am ceaselessly astounded by the European/white man’s malevolent ingenuity with linguistic contortions that both establish his rules; and the rules with which he is allowed to break them. It is infinitely fascinating. A thing I have been obsessed with since I was a toddler. I am always LookingNWords, I declare.

And digress accordingly.

World War III: What Are You Waiting For?

For over a year I have been attempting to inform people that World War III has begun. https://rohnkenyatta.substack.com/p/has-world-war-iii-already-begun-a. It has been a woefully fruitless endeavor. Then again, what substantive geopolitical course correction would, or could, be derived from acknowledgement of the obvious?

In the aforementioned piece I write: “This retrospective labeling raises yet another provocative question: if world wars are only recognized in hindsight, could we already be living through World War III without acknowledging it? This pattern reveals a critical truth: world wars are not declared — they are recognized; post mortem. Their naming is a product of historical consensus, shaped by scholars, media, and governments. The designation is neither legal nor formal, but cultural and retrospective. This means that the absence of a declaration does not preclude the existence of a world war.”

Believe it, or not, this labeling is one of the most dangerous, yet subtle, aspects of what some call “white supremacy.” For the record, I call it “white inferiority” because if a person is somehow genetically or mentally compelled to place themselves above other human beings predicated upon how they look and where they originate, that individual has an inferiority complex. Especially if they are vastly outnumbered. Period.

Even that “supremacy” bullshit is a psycho-linguistic contortion and they know it. They just don’t want me to know it. But I do.

The white boy brands things, quite literally. Why, he even “branded” my people! Not just with hot branding irons like chattel cattle, most of us were also branded with his names. The European/white man even renamed where it is we come from, which is the cradle of mankind: Alkebulan. These labels and linguistic contortions are him at his most surreptitiously deadly. Because if one has the “authority” to assign labels, then one has the assumed authority to define them.

Thusly, he gets to determine many things; or so he thinks. He determines what is good and what is bad. He determines what is right and what is wrong. He determines what is war and what is peace; or so he thinks. The amalgamation of these facts, for this disquisition, are being presented to illustrate that “World War” is always something determined by him…after the fact.

Anyone waiting for some global pronouncement or “declaration” of World War is dumber than they think I thought they were. The reason people don't see the "World War" is because they are looking for 1942 aesthetics in a 2026 reality. They are waiting for a movie poster of Rosie the Riveter while they are already standing in the middle of the set.

And… action!

The Beginning Of Wisdom Is A Definition of Terms: However Subjective

If we stop waiting for a “declaration” and look at where blood is actually hitting the soil, the “World War” is currently being fought across these major theaters:

1. The Southwest Asian Front (The “Open War”)

Pakistan and Afghanistan are in a state of “open war.” Following the Pakistani strikes on Kabul and Kandahar, the Taliban’s retaliatory strikes across the Durand Line have turned this into a full-scale regional war involving millions of displaced people and heavy artillery.

2. The South American Front

The U.S. “extraordinary rendition” (whiteyspeak for kidnapping) of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife has turned Venezuela into a powderkeg. With the U.S. asserting control over Caracas and the looming threat of an intervention in Cuba, the Monroe Doctrine is being enforced with kinetic violence, as well as wholesale theft of natural resources and sanctions.

3. The Eastern European Front (The Forever War)

The war in Ukraine has entered its fifth year. It has evolved from a “Special Military Operation” into a mechanized war of attrition that has drained the manufacturing capacity of the entire West. It is the industrial heart of the current world war. And just like each and every other world war it started in the same geographic proximity of the other two.

4. The West Asian/Levant Front

• Palestine & Lebanon: The conflict has expanded far beyond the borders of Gaza. With Lebanon under sustained aerial bombardment and the West Bank in open revolt, the entire region is a single, continuous battlefield.

• Iran & Iraq: The “duopolistic” failure of the War Powers Resolution previously mentioned highlights that the U.S. is functionally at war with Iranian interests across Iraq, Syria, and the Persian Gulf, regardless of what Congress “declares.” The war in Yemen has been described as the greatest humanitarian disaster of the 21st century (though it seems hard to determine at this point, given global circumstances).

5. Alkebulan (branded “Africa”): The Decolonial Resistance

In the Sahel (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger), the expulsion of Western forces and the rejection of the CFA Franc are an armed rejection of white supremacy/inferiority and a demand for sovereignty.

• Sudan: One of the deadliest wars on Earth, fueled by global powers (UAE, Russia, and the West) competing for gold and Red Sea access.

• The DRC: A “resource war” where the kinetic violence is directly linked to the “trade war” for green energy minerals.

6. The Arctic/North Atlantic Front

The presence of EU troops in Greenland to counter U.S. territorial interests is a landmark shift. It marks a “civil war” within the Western alliance, proving that the scramble for resources (due to melting ice) is worth more than old treaties.

In the 1940s, you needed a massive logistical train to move a division. Today, there is a Cyber War “Front” that exists inside every person’s smartphone and power grid. There is an Economic War “Front” where a tariff is a siege and a sanction is a blockade. Then, of course, there’s that Neanderthal go to: good ole fashioned bloodletting. But in today’s world a $500 drone destroys a $5,000,000 tank.

So, given that stupid is as stupid does and ignorance is allegedly bliss (I wouldn’t know), perhaps the good news is most illiterate Amerikans will sit this thing out until they are either vaporized or someone tells them its okay to call it what it is. Further, as I mentioned previously “what substantive geopolitical course correction would, or could, be derived from acknowledgement of the obvious?” It is what it is. I’m telling you what it is and if you take umbrage to this stark veracity…

Well, frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.
