Sussex using drone to fast-track work on project to reduce flood impact
NoneValery Zaluzhny , the former Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine, has stated that the Third World War has already begun, citing the direct involvement of two superpowers, Russia and the U.S., in the Ukraine conflict. According to Zaluzhny, this war has transcended Ukraine’s borders, drawing in nations like North Korea, Iran, and potentially China, indicating a broader international confrontation. "I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun," Zaluzhny said during a public event, as reported by Politico. He highlighted the increasing role of foreign powers, such as North Korean soldiers and Iranian drones targeting Ukrainian civilians. "Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let's be honest," Zaluzhny remarked. He further criticized the use of Iranian Shahed drones, which he claimed are killing Ukrainian civilians without any shame. Zaluzhny, who was dismissed from his military post in February following disagreements with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over strategy, argued that the war could be ended on Ukrainian soil, but expressed frustration that "our partners refuse to understand this." He further emphasized that while Ukraine could endure with advanced technology, victory remains uncertain without greater international support. WWIII Underway? Putin’s Threats and the Escalating Conflict As tensions rise, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ramped up his threats, claiming that the U.S. and its allies are pushing the world closer to war. On Thursday, the Kremlin launched a new intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine in retaliation for Ukraine’s use of U.S. and British missiles capable of striking deeper into Russian territory. Putin declared that this missile, which he called the Oreshnik (hazelnut tree), could fly at ten times the speed of sound and could target any nation involved in attacking Russian military sites. In a televised address, Putin justified the missile strike, saying, “We believe that we have the right to use our weapons against military facilities of the countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities.” These remarks followed the Biden administration’s authorization for Ukraine to use U.S.-made ATACMS missiles for strikes inside Russia, a decision that has sparked fears of escalating the conflict.

Former President Donald Trump , known for his blunt language, warned in a recent fundraising email, “It truly breaks my heart to see Crooked Joe—the weakest and most incompetent president in history—ruin our country as he pushes America to the brink of World War III.” Trump has signaled that peace could be reached quickly if Russia and Ukraine engaged in direct talks, though no such negotiations have taken place. President Biden has also mentioned the looming threat of World War III, acknowledging the fragile state of international relations. “We’re trying to avoid World War III,” Biden said last year, referencing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The growing rhetoric around World War III has been fueled by significant shifts in U.S. policy. Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles inside Russia has raised concerns about further escalation. Trump Jr. criticized the decision, claiming that the military-industrial complex is pushing the world toward a global conflict. Rep. Michael Waltz, a member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, echoed these concerns, warning that the situation risks spiraling out of control. What is India’s role in mitigating the next world war? The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with its increasing involvement of global powers, has raised fears of a potential World War III. Amid these tensions, India's role has been crucial, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi emerging as a potential mediator in the crisis. Modi’s diplomatic efforts have focused on advocating for peace and working towards a ceasefire, highlighting India's strategic position as a voice of reason and moderation on the global stage. Since the conflict began in 2022, India has consistently called for a peaceful resolution and has emphasized dialogue between the warring parties. Prime Minister Modi's diplomatic approach has been one of caution, urging both Russia and Ukraine to engage in talks and avoid escalating the conflict further. Unlike Western powers, which have supported Ukraine with military aid, including long-range missiles, India has maintained a balanced stance, abstaining from actions that would further fuel the war. Modi’s call for a ceasefire and peace negotiations is seen as essential in preventing the conflict from spilling over into a larger global war. What has PM Modi stance been on Russia-Ukraine conflict? India’s stance on the Ukraine crisis has been characterized by its neutral position, which is rooted in its long-standing foreign policy principles of non-alignment and respect for sovereignty. India has not joined Western sanctions against Russia and continues to engage with Moscow diplomatically and economically. This approach has allowed India to maintain strong ties with Russia, which is a significant defense partner, while also fostering its relationships with Western powers, particularly the United States. This balanced strategy gives India a unique position to act as a mediator in the conflict, with the potential to influence both sides. The Geopolitical Significance of India’s Role In the broader geopolitical context, India’s importance as a stabilizing force in the Russia-Ukraine war cannot be overstated. With its growing influence in global affairs, India is increasingly seen as a key player in shaping international responses to conflicts. Modi’s ability to maintain constructive relations with both Russia and the West places India in a prime position to facilitate dialogue and potentially broker a ceasefire. This unique diplomatic leverage is seen by many as India’s potential contribution to avoiding the catastrophic consequences of an expanded global war. The Potential for Modi to Mediate a Ceasefire Given the complexities of the Ukraine conflict and the high stakes involved, the role of India in bringing about peace is critical. With President Biden’s administration facing increasing pressure over its handling of the war and potential escalation risks, Modi could serve as a bridge between the warring parties. If the situation deteriorates further, and if the U.S. recognizes the urgency of India’s position, Prime Minister Modi could be asked to lead the diplomatic efforts to mediate an end to the conflict. His influence and standing on the world stage make him uniquely positioned to offer a path toward de-escalation, preventing a further slide into World War III. Russia’s Nuclear Doctrine and Global Reactions In the wake of these developments, Russia has adjusted its nuclear doctrine to include potential nuclear responses to conventional attacks involving non-nuclear states, such as Ukraine, but backed by nuclear powers like the U.S. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in such cases. These developments have led to increased security measures across Europe. In Germany, the government has issued new guidelines advising citizens to prepare for potential threats, including the installation of diesel generators and wind turbines. Swedish and Norwegian officials have also issued preparedness literature to their citizens, underscoring the global concern about the war’s potential spread. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock voiced alarm over the growing risks, stating, "Putin is playing with our fear" and urging Europe to invest in its security. These fears have been amplified by Russia's increasingly provocative actions, including seeking military support from North Korea, and the potential for further nuclear escalation. The current trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine war, with its increasing involvement of global powers and the growing nuclear risks, has many worried that World War III may be closer than ever. The situation is compounded by the complex political dynamics in the U.S., where both Biden and Trump have invoked the specter of a global conflict. As the U.S. and its allies continue to support Ukraine with advanced weaponry, Russia’s responses become increasingly aggressive, including missile strikes and adjustments to its nuclear strategy. The situation is a precarious balancing act, with global powers at odds and the risk of a broader conflict growing daily. Whether the Third World War is already underway, or merely on the horizon, remains uncertain, but the stakes have never been higher. World leaders, particularly those from nuclear powers, will need to tread carefully to avoid the catastrophic consequences of a full-scale global war. As the situation unfolds, it is clear that the international community remains on high alert, watching for signs of further escalation. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
Shapiro launches permit fast track program
Stocks closed higher on Wall Street at the start of a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Monday. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Honda’s U.S.-listed shares rose sharply after the company said it was in talks about a combination with Nissan in a deal that could also include Mitsubishi Motors. Eli Lilly rose after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Treasury yields rose in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Major stock indexes rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Monday, after a choppy start to a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered from an early slide to gain 29 points, or 0.1% as of 3:40 p.m. Eastern time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 0.8%. Gains in technology and communications stocks helped outweigh losses in consumer goods companies and elsewhere in the market. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 3.3%. Broadcom climbed 5.5% to also help support the broader market. Walmart fell 2% and PepsiCo slid 1.2%. Japanese automakers Honda Motor and Nissan said they are talking about combining in a deal that might also include Mitsubishi Motors. U.S.-listed shares in Honda jumped 13.4%, while Nissan slipped 0.2%. Eli Lilly rose 3.5% after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Department store Nordstrom fell 1.6% after it agreed to be taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. The Conference Board said that consumer confidence slipped in December. Its consumer confidence index fell back to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Wall Street was expecting a reading of 113.8. The unexpectedly weak consumer confidence update follows several generally strong economic reports last week. One report showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The latest report on unemployment benefit applications showed that the job market remains solid. A report on Friday said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than economists expected. Worries about inflation edging higher again had been weighing on Wall Street and the Fed. The central bank just delivered its third cut to interest rates this year, but inflation has been hovering stubbornly above its target of 2%. It has signaled that it could deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than it earlier anticipated because of concerns over inflation. Expectations for more interest rate cuts have helped drive a roughly 25% gain for the S&P 500 in 2024. That drive included 57 all-time highs this year. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market's path ahead and shifting economic policies under an incoming President Donald Trump. "Put simply, much of the strong market performance prior to last week was driven by expectations that a best-case scenario was the base case for 2025," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company Treasury yields rose in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.59% from 4.53% late Friday. European markets were mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground. Wall Street has several other economic reports to look forward to this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. will release its November report for sales of newly constructed homes. A weekly update on unemployment benefits is expected on Thursday. Markets in the U.S. will close at 1 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday for Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Wednesday for Christmas.
