World War III is a reality. Its central axis is the geography of the Middle East and its cultural circles. The events experienced in Iraq as the center of focus of the “Third World War” clearly and sufficiently demonstrate that the war breaking out there is not concerned with one country, but also with the interests and existence of the forces of global hegemony. This war can only be ended by completely paralyzing Iran’s influence, establishing security and stability in Afghanistan and Iraq, and removing both China and Latin America from being an element of threat. Therefore, we are still in the middle of a war that will last for a period that may reach another ten years at the very least, although it is not correct to say this in terms of social sciences (NATO’s latest strategic plans also stipulate that it will continue for a period of ten years). Diplomatic activity will sometimes intensify, and violence will sometimes intensify. Intervention in the agenda will take place through severe and controlled economic crises. The priorities of the regions and arenas will change, but the war will continue in many of them in a comprehensive manner, whether in this way or that. Hence, it will not be possible to better understand the motives for conducting the 1998 sweep that targeted me internationally, and the reasons for it being the largest sweep of the Gladio orchestrated by NATO, unless this basic nature of the war is kept in mind. There is no doubt that the one who always wins in major wars is not only the forces of domination. Rather, people may also gain a lot. Indeed, the forces of domination may lose at the level of the regime, and the people may gain in return, and at the level of the regime as well.
