As 2024 ends, global politics is marked by ongoing wars, shifting alliances, and the return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency. From the Russia-Ukraine conflict to turmoil in the Middle East and the rise of new power dynamics, the world is at a crossroads. As the world teeters on the brink of major change, we ask: Is World War III inevitable or can diplomacy hold the line?

00:00As 2024 comes to a close, the world teeters on the edge of chaos.
00:06From the bloodied battlegrounds of Eastern Europe to the raging fires of the Middle East,
00:12from the political unrest in the US to the brutal power struggles in Yemen, this year
00:18has ignited a powder keg of geopolitical tensions.
00:22But is this the calm before an even darker storm?
00:26As fear grips people across the globe, the question looms.
00:30Will 2025 mark the dawn of World War III, tearing apart our already fractured world?
00:38The ticking time bomb of global conflict is real and it's counting down.
00:43Here's why the world stands on the edge of catastrophe.
00:47The Russia-Ukraine War – No End in Sight
00:52The war between Russia and Ukraine, now in its third year, has shown no signs of slowing
00:58down.
00:59Russia's President Vladimir Putin, in a recent annual press conference, emphasised
01:04that Russia's objectives in Ukraine were still far from complete, signalling no rush
01:10to end the conflict.
01:12While the front lines have shifted and military strategies have evolved, the human tool continues
01:18to mount, with both sides entrenched in a battle for territorial control.
01:23As per the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, OHCHR, verified
01:30a total of 39,081 civilian casualties during Russia's invasion of Ukraine from February
01:3824, 2022 till October 31, 2024.
01:43Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, meanwhile, remains resolute, diminishing any
01:48peace talk offer from Putin, calling them mere fantasies.
01:53With Western support unwavering and Russian defiance strong, this war seems set to continue
02:00into 2025 without a clear resolution in sight.
02:05The Middle East – A Region in Flames
02:08While Ukraine struggles, the Middle East remains in a claw-drawn of conflict.
02:13Israel, having secured some military victories against Hamas in Gaza, faces growing tension
02:19in Lebanon with Hezbollah.
02:21The recent death of Hezbollah's leader has further fanned the flames of war, making it
02:26clear that the situation remains volatile.
02:29In the last year alone, at least 44,554 people reportedly killed from violence involving
02:37the IDF soldiers, as per the reports of ACLEG.
02:42But there's an odd paradox here.
02:44While Israel's dominance grows, a fragile peace might emerge.
02:48Perhaps an uneasy truce, but peace nonetheless.
02:53On the other hand, Iran's regional influence is at a breaking point.
02:58The collapse of Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria has left Iran's once-strong alliance
03:04in tatters, signalling a shift in the balance of power in the Middle East.
03:10Meanwhile, Iranian-backed proxy groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen have suffered
03:16setbacks and their ability to project power has diminished.
03:20Iran's role as the axis of resistance seems to be crumbling as the region's power dynamic
03:27changes.
03:28But the most concerning development comes from Yemen, where the Houthis have intensified
03:33their attacks, striking Israeli territories with drones and missiles.
03:38These cross-border assaults are a dangerous escalation that threatens not only regional
03:43stability but also global shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
03:49Israel's retaliatory airstrikes have only added fuel to the fire.
03:56The US under Trump, a political earthquake
03:592024 has also seen a seismic political shift in the United States with the elections of
04:05Donald Trump as the next president.
04:08His victory has sent shockwaves through global markets, with stocks indices plummeting in
04:13the wake of his win.
04:15Trump's return to power promises a shift in US foreign policy and his unpredictable nature
04:22raises serious concern about America's approach to international relations.
04:27While Trump's economic policies might appeal to his base, the question remains, will his
04:33administration escalate tensions with adversaries like China and Russia or will we see a more
04:40isolated approach?
04:42Regardless, his victory marks a pivotal moment in global politics, one that will have ripple
04:48effect far beyond the US.
04:52The world's escalating tensions is World War III on the horizon.
04:56With wars ranging in Ukraine, the Middle East and the growing instability in the other
05:01parts of the world, the question on everyone's mind is, are we heading towards World War
05:06III?
05:07While the global situation is indeed precarious, the likelihood of an all-out world war remains
05:13low.
05:14Despite regional conflicts, global powers are still largely engaged in diplomatic efforts
05:20to contain the escalation.
05:22However, with each passing day, the risk of these regional conflicts spilling over into
05:28a global war grows.
05:29The US and Russia, both nuclear-armed giants, continued their proxy battle in Ukraine.
05:36The US is deeply involved in the Middle East, with military assets spread across the region.
05:42And while China remains relatively subdued for now, its growing presence in Asia adds
05:48another layer of complexities to the geopolitical landscape.
05:52The world stands on a knife edge, and whether we plunge into chaos or find a way to de-escalate
05:59will depend on the choices of the world leaders in the coming months.
06:04As 2024 ends and we look towards the new year, one thing is certain, the political landscape
06:10is shifting, and the world's balance of power is in flux.
06:15Will diplomacy prevail, or will we see further escalation?
06:19Only time will tell.
06:20But one thing is for sure, we must all remain vigilant as the year turns, for the choices
06:28made today will shape the future of tomorrow.
06:31To all our viewers, thank you for joining us through this tumultuous year.
06:35May the new year bring peace, stability and hope for a better tomorrow.
06:40Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
