Bannon: WW3 Has Already Begun—Next 200 Days Decide Everything
Bannon warns that if America doesn’t get things sorted now, the death toll could surpass World War II.
World War III has already started.
Steve Bannon just sounded the alarm and said the next 200 days could decide the fate of the American republic.
He warned that if America doesn’t get things “sorted” now, we’ll be dragged into full-scale war with Iran, and the death toll could surpass World War II.
Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon just sat down with Tucker Carlson for 77 minutes and delivered a chilling warning about what happens if America gets sucked into a forever war.
He opened up the interview by explaining that Trump’s MAGA movement was built on three core promises: ending forever wars, securing the border, and rebuilding American manufacturing. But those pillars are under attack, and the biggest threat is coming from foreign entanglements.
“They’re trying to shut all three down,” he said, pointing out how the establishment seems “obsessed” with keeping America in endless conflict.
Bannon made clear that while he supports Israel, getting dragged into a war with Iran could destroy everything Trump’s coalition was designed to protect.
Bannon said things in the Middle East are escalating fast, and it reminds him of how the Iraq War started.
He pointed out that the U.S. has suddenly sent three massive Navy strike groups into the region, including the Red Sea, Mediterranean, and Arabian Sea. To him, that’s not a defensive move—it’s the start of a real war.
What really unsettled him is how quickly it all happened. He said decisions just seem to appear out of nowhere, without debate or warning.
Bannon said we have to name names and expose it right now or else “we’re not going to have a country.”
“The Third World War is not about to start. It has started,” Bannon said bluntly.
He explained that the number of people already dying in Ukraine, Gaza, and now Iran exceeds the death toll from the early years of World War II. “Add it all up,” he said, “it’s not half of what’s happened between Ukraine and Gaza today. And now in Persia—we are much bloodier.”
According to Bannon, while Trump is calling for peace and diplomacy, the political apparatus in Washington is doing the opposite—“exacerbating the conflict.”
He warned that the next 200 days will be “some of the most perilous times for the American republic in its history.” If things aren’t “sorted,” he said, the U.S. won’t just be supplying weapons, we’ll be “drawn in totally… as a combatant.”
That’s when Bannon issued the most chilling warning of all:
“We’re going to get sucked into a shooting war, of which it’ll be 10 years, and the casualties will dwarf anything you saw in World War II.”
Carlson raised a sobering point from history: during every major war, those who speak out are crushed.
Churchill locked up his political enemies. Roosevelt unleashed the federal government on dissenters. Lincoln did it, too.
And now, Carlson himself has become a target—just for asking, “Do we want another war?”
But this time, something has changed.
“When we had a debate about funding Ukraine in the Senate,” Bannon said, “we beat them.” Mitch McConnell was forced to resign.
Why? Because the public finally pushed back, and independent voices like podcasters, influencers, and anti-war leaders were louder than the political establishment. They’re in touch with what ordinary Americans actually want.
Bannon urged people to keep speaking out. “You’re going to see the American people are 90% against forever wars,” he said.
For the first time in decades, the opposition isn’t underground. It’s out in the open. Voices like Tulsi Gabbard and Bridge Colby are driving the conversation.
“We’ve never had this debate,” Bannon said. “And now we’re actually having this debate.”
That, he said, is the biggest reason for hope: the war machine is finally being challenged.
