Economist Richard Werner argues that the wars on Iran and Venezuela are really aimed at China, and that history shows world wars are deliberately engineered — bad news for anyone hoping current tensions cool down.

• Werner compares today's setup to pre-WWI Britain targeting a rising Germany. China is the new Germany, and the US is the new Britain trying to stop a rival.
• He says the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 was a false flag: Britain listed the passenger ship as a military vessel, Churchill ordered it slowed near a German submarine, and the sinking dragged the US into WWI.
• The attacks on Iran and Venezuela target China's oil supply and Belt and Road infrastructure, which is China's way of avoiding US control of sea routes — the same problem Germany had with British naval power.
• The 1997 Asian crisis was engineered by the IMF and local central banks to force Thailand to sell its assets cheap to foreigners. The same playbook is used on developing countries today.
• China's one-child policy came from Club of Rome population models pushed by Rockefeller-linked groups. Mao's famine that killed 80 million was caused by a very specific set of policies, not accident.
• The EU is openly planning for war with Russia by 2028-2030, and a false flag is the likely trigger.

Outlook: Werner expects more provocations against China and warns a major false flag could push the world toward a third world war within a few years.
