The Next World War | Episode 1 | Russia invades the Baltics 

This is somewhat similar to the book written by the great Tom Clancy. For those who haven’t read it. It’s called Red Storm Rising. It’s a great read.

Holy mother of hidden RU-vid diamonds. I love your work. Really feels and flows like a Cable TV documentary.

This channel needs to pop off. What absolutely incredible content, the details are mind blowing.

This is awesome, it's like watching a documentary from an alternate timeline. Looking forward to more.

Awesome. I can only imagine how much time this has taken to put together. Very good work, will watch the series.

good stuff will be playing catch up for a few nights it looks, thanks for posting.

Absolutely brilliant work. Cannot wait for the next episodes!

Fantastic idea for a series. Great content!

This storyline is awesome. Better than anything on tv. Good job.

Forgot to say thank you for sharing. An looking forward to seeing it to the end. Thanks for time and sharing 👍

Love it! Always wanted a series exactly like this.

Really great. Those are my fav sim/war games, and you are doing a great work with this doc series, thanks ! 🤘

I was pissed there wasn't more...excellent. I'm subbed

Great series. Nice job!!

I really like this so far. Very cool idea

This is awesome. Reminds me of Tom clancy’s Red Storm Rising

This looks great. I'm unsure of the further pathway but would be happy to do some segments in Steel Beasts Pro PE if you needed imagery of high tempo contemporary armoured warfare.

Intresting 🎉❤

Compared to the other channels doing this stuff its a very 'adult' view on how it could kick off and quite acurate I think. Great work mate!

Saw Fixedit interview, immediately intrigued, was not disappointed.

Great concept and yet again more proof that nothing will ever come close to being more versatile than Arma.

Entertaining video. Solid narration. absurd hypothetical scenario.

Nice fictional story. Absolutely absent from actual reality, but very entertaining. Well done!

Is this made with Arma? Good video!

Splendid example of _mechanima_ - the making of movies using animation from real-time gaming engines.

Came here from the Warzone, can’t wait for this universe to get more fleshed out. Keep posting about this!

Very brave and insightful, did you start after the Ukrainian full scale war? 😊👍

Fantastic fiction. May it stay that way!!!

The series is a masterpiece. gj.

these vids are skill , what program does he use to make them ?

Very cool; great editing, interesting timeline, good choice of (AI?) narration. Some (hopefully constructive) criticism, if I may? I realize that this definitely isn’t the topic of the video, but I, for one, would like to see a bit more backstory. As-is, it was essentially “Russia faced disaster in Ukraine, brought in a new leader, he made the country rich.” All of which is absolutely plausible (well, the “disaster” is actually authentic) given Russia’s share of natural resources and her relatively unique geographic position. But after seeing what Russia can (or rather, cannot) do, it’s borderline laughable that they’re opting to go toe-to-toe with NATO. Not without knowing at least some of what has happened in the ‘next’ 30 years. Again, I realize your intent isn’t to document this, but it would add a nice layer of realism. Even something like Russia playing nice for the next few decades, all the while they are controlled by a cabal of hard-liners pining for the days of Soviet/Imperial hegemony. They re-structured their economy via unprecedented co-operation with Europe. China takes a similar route, outwardly going through their own version of Perestroika, launching a ‘goodwill’ tour of the globe that lasts decades, nominally recognizing Taiwanese sovereignty. NATO is cautious through the early 2020s, but finally let their guard down after rapidly increasing inflation, growing internal unrest among several key members, and demands in the U.S. for more social spending leads to massive military cuts… which finally leads to NATO more-or-less accepting that China and Russia no longer pose a threat. Which is precisely what both governments were waiting for. And yet, they still bide their time, hoping to lull NATO even deeper into their false of security, waiting all the way until the early 2030s to execute their plan. I think a description such as this would add a lot to your future scenarios, and it would only add a couple of minutes to your introduction video. Anyways, I’ve said my piece, looking forward to watching the rest of the series; Thanks for reading!

Amazing work, must of took you a while to make

How did you do the narration? Also dig it.

I guess you forgot that Canada's role is the defense of the Baltic states. I don't see how Russian special ops would get that deep into Estonia unnoticed. And there are Canadian soldiers present too. Anyways I am enjoying this series.

How'd you get Jean Luc Picard to read your script?

A very good series of WW3 books is "The Zone" series written by James Rouch. At least 9 books in the series. It was written in the 1980's and is set sometime in the late 1980's.

Woop!

A Twilight 2000 vibe 😊

The danger of escalation would be proportional to the desire of the Russians to avoid defeat. During the Cold War, many thought that US-NATO forces would be forced to resort to tactical nuclear weapons to offset the numerically superiority of Soviet armor. ( I recall reading a US Army document back in the 1980s that essentially assumed that NATO and US forces would resort to battlefield nuclear weapons within the first few hours of a Soviet thrust through the Fulda Gap.) Now we were preparing to do that in order to prevent Soviet-Warsaw Pact forces from reaching the Rhine before American reenforcements could arrive in Europe. That was how far we were willing to go to avoid defeat. If the Russians were to invade the Baltic States, which would invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, one would assume the Russians want to "win" bad enough to accept that as a consequence of their invasion. It would also suggest that they have contemplated an escalatory response (in this case, the use of tactical nuclear weapons,) should they begin to lose. And they would lose. Russian conventional forces are simply outclassed by those of the US and NATO (if the Russians didn't know this before, they certainly know now.)

No mention of tanks running out of petrol and stalling in a convoy just short then pmsl 😂 But, this looks impressive. I'll suspend disbelief and keep watching.

Did you just use Arma 3 for the cinematic shots? And if so what mod for the shots of the ships?

Do you have a track list

Love this. The united states will soon be on DEFCON 3 alert in this timeline.

So I sent this to a couple people I know whose careers give them insight into NATO preparations for possible conflicts. One got back to me so far saying that chances were good that NATO has considered scenarios very similar to the one presented here.

This may be entertaining but the possibly of total war is disturbing and seems inevitable.

An empire built on radioactive dust, cockroaches, mice and a nuclear winter.

I think it's already in play ...

2027 or 2029 might be a more realistic date if some recent analysis are to be believed

Which airplane is that russian plane on the thumbnail?

Germany Japan and their allies also had no chance of beating both the Western and Eastern allies they still went to war and were very successful for the first year or two. Then the population and GDP advantages took over and ground them into dust.

The only problem with this, is that it seems they are going to give the Russsians capability, they really dont have,

Wouldn’t it make more sense for China to attack Taiwan first! Then US military would be tied up with their pacific interests and less likely to wage a counter offensive in Europe. Indeed it could be that UK ,Finland, Norway, Poland, France maybe first to defend.

This is one of the typical plots where you already know at the beginning what the ending will be: extinction of mankind from planet Earth and victory on points for Russia.

2032 may be a bit late. looks like things are moving a bit quicker.

D. Kozak is an interesting choice for the Russian president as he was born in Ukraine and in fact attempted to negotiate for a deescalation in 2022 (that UA would not join NATO, but Putin refused this as we already planned to annex SE UA). Now of course he has been under US and EU sanctions since 2014 and is former Spetsnaz, etc etc... but he's definitely not what one might consider hardline USSR at a glance.

Having seen the performance of Russian conventional forces in their Ukrainian adventure, one wonders just how much a threat those forces were during the last decade or two of the Cold War (say, 1972-1992.) Yes, they had considerable armor mass to punch into Western Europe, but the US and NATO had invested heavily in countering such an armored thrust. If the Soviet army's logistics and combined arms capabilities were as bad as the Russian Federation's, after some initial success, US-NATO forces may have been able to stop them cold long before they reached the Rhine. A scenario such as this, in which the Russians attempt to reassert control over the Baltic states, would all but certainly result in a Russian defeat, for the same reasons that Russia has not been able to achieve its tactical and strategic goals in Ukraine. Russian tactics and strategies have always been dependent upon the weight of numbers, their willingness to throw away Russian lives in staggering numbers (and the willingness of Russians to accept those casualties.) The Russians no longer have the population of youngish men to throw into a meat grinder and clearly, the average Russian is no longer willing to make such sacrifices.

Who narrates this? It sounds like Sir Patrick Stewart.

Mirror imaging of western vs Russian military capabilities. Recent events show that Russia is ruthless but anemic military capabilities

Will this series take into account the general Russian incompetence that they have been showing since the Ukraine invasion?

The same elite units that tried to storm the airport in Kiev?

it just funny how by 2032 the boieng 747-400ER would still be flying

Nice video but two big problems: (1) Russia lacks the ability and resources. Even for its half-measure war in Ukraine, it needed the USA to stupidly buy $160 billion in Russian fuel in 2021, with which sad old Putin prepared for war. There are no more "billions" lying around. (2) China does not need to join this risky fool's errand. It has already won the economic and political war, taken control of key bodies like the WHO, in no little way helped by a certain lab-leak incident in November 2020. Why would it risk what it worked tirelessly for, by joining Russia? It will eventually get Taiwan anyway, and it doesn't need Taiwan, it already dominates the world agenda. In light of the above, your scenario will never happen. You need idiots in charge in both Beijing and Moscow, simultaneously, its unlikely. A rogue group in Chechnya etc., or nation like Korea or Iran, going nuclear is a much less impossible scenario. The Middle East is where it's at.

Haha as if by 2032 enough people are left to fight such a large scale conflict.

Not bad at all for a start. But the reasons for China's involvement are somewhat flimsy A story with a sweep like this requires a personal and political foundation that is both humanizing and plausible. You have leaders who react to a situation moved by fiat and not by Humanity. And war is and always will be centred on individual humanity.

Is it alternate history? How did Russia get to the point where it can threaten NATO 8 years from now where it is such an ineffective large scale force? EDIT: While unrealistically quick, wait for the lore to come in during the second part.

They are so weak. There are no danger. Greetings from Estonia to everybody.

With the way NATO is spreading east, and the UK/France keep poking the Bear, this scenario is very likely sooner than later.

What about the part where Nato and the US keep pushing their weapons closer and closer to Russian borders?

Ìs quite likely that WWIII already started in Israel

Meanwhile, in 2023 Russia, any citizen with the name Dmitriy Kozak, mysteriously goes missing...

I love the Ideas and story but with the level of incompetence Russia has shown in the Current Ukraine war I think WW3 May need a different player to FAFO.

🤣not working out like the first 3 minutes

Interesting, but perhaps not so realistic? *looks at ukraine*

Now that Putin is Re-elected this is definitely a different timeline.

Everyone who is saying Russia is incompetent they may be winning now as they did in Ukraine but they failed to consolidate there gains and the thunder run stalled eventually

American readiness? I recall some shenanigans in and around Nashville, TN during December, 2020, but I can't help but feel that since America is exclusively in the service of New Khazaria that our capabilities are severely compromised. Plus, this series presumes that Russia will run away from Ukraine in total defeat.

Time travelers are makin youtube vidyas again

You didn't get the UKRAINE not right, so, what about the rest??

2032? more like 2024 lol

You're working on the clearly erroneous assumption that the Russian military is competent.

Elite Russian assault team? Is there such a thing?

YOU MISSED A BIT

This is great and definitely an alternate timeline because the Russians have little professionalism to actually carry out a proper military operation 😂

-Wania, we lost 30 000 man, 3000 tanks, 600 airplanes, lots of altilery and many vechicles in first months in Ukraine... -Kostia, how many units and soldiers lost NATO? -NATO had not yet come.

Baltic states were not lost to Russia they never belonged to them, invading them numerous times and trying to erase their history and culture is a very hollow ownership.

Ok so for all of us wondering how Russia of all nations is doing this. Just pretend the Soviet Union never fell or it's an alternate Russia. EDIT: While unrealistically quick, wait for the lore to come in during the second part.

Russia in reality: Ucrania me da anziedad.

Russia losing to Ukraine? What a joke!!

Cool but hard to enjoy when we see how poorly the Russians actually perform at modern war.

Russia suddenly invading a NATO country, or NATO sudeenly invading Russia, is not realistic at all. Spoiler alert: WW3, the end.

So russia failed in ukraine??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😆

Lol at russian elite troops

Entertaining fanfiction....nothing more. If people actually believe things would go like this....then I got a bridge to sell to these people. I appriciate the maker's effort on putting it all together, but it's still nothing more than fanfiction and wishful thinking.

Well I guess when all you got is wishfull thinking (Russia lost to Ukraine) you can make fancyfull stories.

I'm sorry, but I just can't take this video seriously... '2nd best army in the world' can't even beat Ukraine at the moment. What makes you think they can even take on the Baltics and the entirety of NATO LMAO in like 10 years? By then, they've just converted all those stolen washing machines into Lada's :D. No discredit to the quality of this video, it's well made but oh brother I keep laughing thinking about that.

If there is ever WWIII, I believe the U.S. will almost certainly start it. Russia's military actions are focused around its domestic security, consolidating its position over former Warsaw pact countries such as Georgia and preventing them from entering into alliances with NATO, which is the primary motivation of the Ukraine invasion. The U.S. on the other hand has primarily intervened in countries far outside of its sphere of influence that do not pose a threat to its own national security, particularly the ones that want to stop using the dollar to buy and sell their oil (Iraq, Libya, etc.). It's almost certain that America will launch another clumsy invasion, perhaps in Iran or wherever, and this time the BRICS nations will threaten military defense and aid in support of the invaded nation, and it will all kick off from there.
