Episode 310 - DEFCON : NONE W/ SCOTT RICKARD | Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis

What if World War III started and nobody noticed? I know that sounds like a stupid question and I may be joking, but I am very serious about what I am joking about.Pope Francis has said that all of the worldwide terror alerts, armed conflicts, religious wars that harkens back to the Dark Ages, and escalating international terrorism is actually World War III and we are not noticing because no one has called it on the nightly news.Global security estimates conclude that right now in the world there are 30 ongoing wars and 22 conflicts. That’s 52 countries at war or in conflict. The U.S. alone has ground troops in 134 countries.
