What will now cause WWIII? The same thing, plus the desperation to hide the bankruptcy of European nations. All they need to do is increase their aggressive provocation of Russia, which Europe is now doing.
A leaked letter from the French Ministry of Health reportedly explains that mass casualties are to be expected not just from its own forces, but wounded soldiers from across Europe, and that France would be acting as a ‘rear base’.
French hospitals would need to prepare for up to 50 THOUSAND beds allocated to wounded civilians and military personnel EVERY MONTH.
