One of the globe’s leading experts on war has warned that many European countries are on the verge of civil war and may already be past the point of no return.
David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King’s College London, says his research shows is a statistically significant chance of a civil war breaking out within five years in a major European country, with a distinct possibility that the conflict could spill over to neighbouring Nations.
Speaking to documentarian Andrew Gold, Betz further noted that it is likely too late to prevent things getting “very much worse” in Europe, and that governments may only be able to better prepare for the inevitable.
“I would probably avoid big cities. I would suggest you reduce your exposure to big cities if you are able,” Betz chillingly urged.
He added, “there isn’t anything they can do, it’s baked in. We’re already past the tipping point, is my estimation… we are past the point at which there is a political offramp. We are past the point at which normal politics is able to solve the problem.”
Betz emphasised that “almost every plausible way forward from here involves some kind of violence in my view.”
“Anything the government tries to do at this point… you can solve one kind of problem, but it will aggravate another kind of problem in doing so, and you get back to violence,” the professor continued.
“The question really is about mitigating the costs, to my mind, not about preventing the outcome, I’m sorry to say… I have not heard a credible political way forward and I don’t see a single political figure who is credible in the role of national saviour, or even inclined to do so,” he added.
“The bottom line is I don’t think there is now a political solution to this which takes the form of everything just working out OK after some period of difficulty,” Betz grimly concludes, noting “Things are bad now, but they are going to get very much worse.”
“Hopefully after they will get better, but you will have to go through the period of very much worse before you get there,” he predicted.
It’s a downward spiral, essentially.
“I understand what I say is extremely unpleasant”, Betz said, further remarking: “I just want to say dear elites, the consequences of your actions have arrived.”
Betz notes that the United Kingdom, France, and Sweden all already have “dire social instability”, “economic decline”, and “elite pusillanimity”, all historically precursors to conflict.
The academic estimates that a civil war in the UK, which now has a population of 70 million, could mean tens of thousands of deaths.
“The most unstable are moderately homogenous societies”, Betz has previously observed, noting that legacy majority groups feel their status being threatened or about to be completely replaced and they are more likely to fight to retain dominance.
While research has indicated that the UK is on course to become a minority white country within decades, Betz predicts that it won’t actually happen because enough native Britons may move to reverse the trend.
“You could make such an argument, but that’s, I think, making a lot of assumptions about people’s likely response to things. I don’t think that society is so inert”, Betz said, adding “I just don’t think the British people want to be displaced from their own country… I think people are going to reject that. And they are already, people are already perceiving an urgency to act to prevent the loss of something they feel very strongly about still.”

Betz further asserted that “the existence of this idea [of England]… is very seriously in peril… how [people] react against that is the question. There’s a grave potential for them to react in ways that take us right off the scale. I hope that doesn’t occur, but we are at a very perilous moment.”
Many people today are asking, what is Britishness or Englishness? I think they ought read Orwell’s 1941 essay ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’. There’s a line in there in which he asks what can the England of 1940 have to do with that of 1840. His answer, in a nutshell, is: a lot.…

Sigh. As so often, you couldn’t locate a clue while it kicked you repeatedly in the gonads. You are very happy to have a go at academics that clearly don’t know what they’re saying, but if the academic that clearly doesn’t know what he’s saying is going on about how being white British is the most important thing in the world, bar everything else, including eating, keeping the lights on, not getting your head smashed, getting medical care, etc., then of course, just by virtue of being white British you will know exactly that the only thing that can kill you is non-white-and-British people, and never cancer, car accidents, floods, the price of everything going through the roof because there is another war in the Middle East, or any other such minor details that don’t have much to do with local non-white-and-British people.
What is particularly shocking is that this guy manages to worry about the stats in Europe, when it’s the stats in the USA that are worrying, in terms of the amount of disparity between locals and immigrants in how the law treats them, the level of sheer discrimination that people get due to their skin colour, the amount of weapons that are readily available to people, the number of homicides and politically motivated violence, etc. In short, if civil war was going to happen anywhere over race and immigration issues, it’s obviously America First.
And then, if the guy had a brain, which he clearly does not, he would point out that civil war in the USA would obviously have major consequences over here in the UK. People here have been sleeping assuming the USA is forever, but what if it isn’t? What if we get vast amounts of refugees from the USA? What if people over here start taking sides on the war on the other side of the pond? Should the UK government pick a side? Will the UK government be forced to pick a side, whether they like it or not, because they don’t want the instability on the other side of the pond to get replicated over here? And so on.
Those are questions worth pondering about, not whether magically the potential war is going to start here, when they stats so clearly say no.
To me the UK is already lost, you invited in way to many Muslims in and now they are out breading you and soon will rule over you. The Globalists forced this immigration wave down your throat and your corrupt leaders did not represent you but their allegiance to their masters. Good by UK hello sheria law
European governments will side with the invaders.
How to short your lifespan.
It’s coming. Starmer is so scared of the rape gangs report dropping tomorrow that he has ordered a new national inquiry. Too little, too late. It’s already started in Northern Ireland and it will spread to the rest of the UK. I don’t know what form the violence will take, nor how severe it will be, but a reckoning is on the way for the ‘elites’ who have allowed this to happen. Hopefully, they will be incarcerated in all the new prison cells they were preparing for the ‘far right extremists’.
You must have wanted it because you keep voting in these white betrayers. I dunno why?
Thant is the whole point.
