The Next World War | Episode 4 | Russia's Nuclear Escalation 

That is high praise! Thank you.

I really wouldn’t underestimate Russia, yes their performance has been laughable thru much of the war in Ukraine but they still posses significant military power, much more than what many western sources have eluded to.

This animation series depicts Russia as the aggressor when infact it is the USA that has hundreds of military bases throughout the world.

@@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893 yes to project power and maintain relative safe trade routes for shipping and commerce. And many of those bases have been paid in blood during ww2.

@@jesseterrell2109 military power, with no decent logistcs to back it up.

@@jesseterrell2109 you are on drugs, heavily. The proof is beyond obvious

Thank you! Episode 5 is in progress!

Agree. Nato has a huge rear area and thousands of advanced fighters. Yhis would play out very differently.

Seeing how poorly Russia is performing in Ukraine its all hard to belive.

TWZ has been very good to me, it seems! Thanks for watching and the kind words.

And when this scenario happens Sweden will also be a member. The combined Nordic air Command itself consists of about 250 fighter aircraft (F-35s, F-16s, JAS-39s and maybe even still F/A-18s). I bet those planes would not stay idle. And I don't want to start talking about the Nordic navies and the nice seamines of Finland that can identify the ships going above it and can pick targets. Russian navy would have a difficult time operating in the Baltic Sea. Heck Finland has artillery pieces that can easily reach Estonia as the distance is only about 90km. Finnish MLRS artillery and the air force could strike Russian targets in Estonia from Finland!

You are spot on. Add in the heightened awareness that the recent Russian invasion and tactics (and atrocities in the open) has created from Finland (800+ land border with Russia and no people have the Russian’s number like the Finns) all the way down through the former Soviet block. I cannot even imagine how badly the Poles want to clobber Russians who choose to invade a NATO member. Also, once things went ‘hot’ between Russia and NATO directly, the kid gloves treatment that Russia is currently getting through proxy in the Ukraine would be gone. Two words: air superiority. The West has decades of thought, investment, and effort in to air dominance for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading my thoughts from afar. Best wishes from Michigan, U.S.

Thank you! Working on episode 5.

Thank you! Much appreciated

You are just a 400 lb... on your sofa at home...

Thank you! Spread the word. 🙂

Ha-ha-ha

That's some high praise (Clancy). Thank you!

Thank you! At work on Episode 5.

Thanks for your post! Actually this is exactly the kind of feedback and input I'm looking for. I'd encourage jumping on the Discord server I set up a while back to have a deeper discussion. discord.gg/WdqCQMcx I am seeing that the 22nd and 24th MEU have deployed at various times in the Baltics (as recently as August), but I'm not seeing that they are stationed there. But my research might be lacking and missing that. Happy to scratch at that further. On the subject of realism... I have a bit of a needle to thread there, keeping the story as realistic as possible while also adhering to the necessary elements of a good, engaging story. What I absolutely want to avoid, if possible, is a "no way that'd happen!" moment that would pull people out of the story. So, the story is strongly based on reality...but it may not be able to include ALL aspects of reality, if that makes sense! Whatever the case, I love your input. Keep 'em coming.

This is addictingly entertaining, and I’m already hooked in your montage about “This is a story about the Third World War,” music and all! [Heaven forbid.] With that in mind, within roughly the last ten years, with relief and appreciation the Baltic states have allowed the United States (and possibly NATO as well, I am not an expert) to stockpile heavy equipment, ammunition, fuel, and supporting supplies in multiple locations so that the U.S. needs to concentrate on getting personnel to the combat zone, but much of the logistical heavy lifting has already been done in preparation. Also, there is a permanent, land-based Aegis defense system (AAMDS) in Redizkowo, Poland that the Russians have been crying about since its mere suggestion. It is just coming online with the U.S. Navy after extensive testing and upgrades, and is scheduled to be handed over to full Polish control and incorporation in to NATO’s European-wide defense network this Summer. Its primary job is to defend against Russian missile attacks. The Poles are keen to point out that the facility is fully operational and equipped, and they are no longer taking any guff from Russia. There is another land-based AEGIS facility like it in Romania to watch Iran, etc. Both are coordinated with a Sauron-like radar facility atop a Turkish mountain. With huge stocks of missiles for defending the skies across Europe and SW Asia, NATO is already made large investments in preventing ballistic missile attacks, and the Patriot Systems are proving very effective in the Ukraine. I would never dream of commenting in this fashion, yet you were so encouraging to this OP. Outstanding work that obviously takes an incredible amount of time, effort, and talent. Thank You very much for sharing it with the YTube world (and the algorithm for leading me here). Best wishes from N Michigan.

Neither can I. 😉 thanks for watching it!

@@flatcirclehistory Np and keep up the great work.

RSR, which I first read back in the mid 80's, was a major influence on me doing this series. A great read.

@@flatcirclehistory I had a friend in the Army Reserves back in the 1990's and he said it was required reading for officers back then.

@@flatcirclehistory I've read it more than once. And I recommend a trilogy called Weapons of Choice about a modern Naval battle group that is sent back to WWII right during the beginning of the Battle for Midway and how they affect the outcome of WWII and America.

Excellent, will check it out@@neowuwei7851

ha! I was just getting ready to post on Warzone and saw your posts. Thanks much! I finished the first draft of Episode 5 script last night. I plan to let it marinate today, make whatever tweaks are necessary, then start production. So far, its taking me an average of 3 weeks to produce an episode - so I am hoping Ep5 is the same. (but don't hold me to that!)

@@flatcirclehistory I am waiting anxiously

If you mean the channel is underrated, thanks! I couldn't agree more. :) workin' on it.

Or NATO, looks like the NATO armies have not joined the fight in any way shape of form.

Like day or night matters… 😂

Yes, it's called Red Storm Rising. There's an excellent animated series on here by Fixedit.

Fixedit's work is awesome. Highly recommend.

Likely. I dont yet have an animation platform to simulate that. But looking. Kerbal maybe?

@@flatcirclehistory i think putin said a few years ago, he would not do a conventional war with nato/the us, implying he would go straight into m.a.d., but i like this slow walk into it.

Hang on mate, russia invaded Ukraine first. Nato are only trying to stop the war by helping Ukraine . Putin is crazy , needs stopping, before something happens that we can't ever undo. But, it doesn't matter anyway cos apparently we live in a simulation 😂

unfortunately...........

We won't be around long enough to know.

Uh huh uh huh......😂

The series is talking about 12-15 years down the road

That's right. In *this* series.

Yeah, what do you waiting for? 😂🤣😂🤣

Do remember that this story takes place 10+ years in the future. New Russian president and time to fix things. And yes you're correct about their military now.

... Except now it is ranked as #1 best army.

😂😂😂😂😂 that’s the best laugh I’ve had this week

200 to 400k uronazis and less than 60k Russian casualties..wake up sleepy joe

@@Killdozer-do4mc Best army at what? Dying? 🤣

Thanks Paul!

Thank you! At work on Ep5

its here
