This episode tackles some of the boldest ideas in the book, "The Finding - Itihad," from covert geopolitical maneuvers to hidden power plays. Specifically, this episode will dive into the book’s geopolitical theories and reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the heart of "The Finding - Itihad" is the suggestion that World War III may have already begun covertly in early 2020.
This new global conflict is not being fought with tanks and troops, but through cyberattacks, psychological operations, economic sabotage, and even biological warfare.
The author sets this theory against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.The book explores how the pandemic might have been used as a distraction or even as part of a covert conflict. The book speculates that while the world was reeling from the virus, deeper geopolitical battles were being fought behind the scenes–warfare without an official declaration, hidden in plain sight.
The chaos of the early pandemic period (2020), marked by economic instability, escalating global power conflicts, and the Defender 2020 military exercise, is used as potential evidence of this covert war. For example, the rapid spread of COVID-19 in Italy, combined with its economic vulnerabilities, made the region a geopolitical focal point. The book highlights the situation in northern Italy during the early days of the pandemic. The Lombardy region, an economic powerhouse and a key NATO hub, was one of the hardest-hit areas. It is also home to a significant portion of NATO’s nuclear warheads. The book raises questions about how such a strategically important region could have been affected so disproportionately. The novel suggests that the pandemic might have been exploited as a distraction or even a tool in a covert global conflict.
Another critical element the novel explores is NATO’s Defender 2020 exercise.
Initially planned as the largest U.S. troop deployment to Europe in over 25 years, it was significantly scaled back due to the pandemic. The scaling back of NATO's Defender 2020 exercise is presented as a potential opportunity for adversaries, like Russia, to test NATO’s vulnerabilities. The book suggests that Russia’s heightened military activity in Eastern Europe was a prelude to its eventual invasion of Ukraine.The book suggests that military drills, cyberattacks, and economic destabilization during this time weren’t just isolated events, but rather part of a larger, coordinated strategy. For example, the story hints at connections between events like the pandemic, military drills, cyberattacks, and Russia's eventual invasion of Ukraine, suggesting a larger, coordinated strategy at play.
