NO ONE SAY JAMES CORBETT IS NOT ENTERTAINING
This Week in World Warfare | by James Corbett | September 20, 2026 | corbettreport.com

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.

This was one of those weeks.

Yes, if you’ve been keeping track of the unfolding geopolitical drama over the past week, you’ll already know what I’m talking about. And if you haven’t been keeping track of that drama, strap in and get ready, because you’re about to get a data dump on the latest news about the world of warfare.

From the 5th-generation war on everyone to the series of escalating regional wars that are threatening to merge into a full-scale, global WWIII, the latest news has something for everyone!

XI-TRUMP SUMMIT
If the defining conflict of the (stage-managed and manipulated) WWIII that the deep staters are cooking up is the one between the US and China, as I posit, then next week’s meeting between Trump and Xi may indeed be consequential [...]

SAUDI UNDER FIRE
It’s been a disastrous week for the Saudis [...]

THE OIL SHOCK IS BACK!
Just when you thought that whole oil panic from the early days of Operation Epic Fury was a thing of the past, along come the latest shocks to Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure. For those not versed in the intricacies of oil geopolitics, this means that, yes, your gas prices are going to be going up again soon [...]

UKRAINE/RUSSIA SPILLS OVER
Yes, in case you were wondering, the Russia/Ukraine war is still raging on [...]

SYDNEY SWEENEY UNDER FIRE
Actress Sydney Sweeney has come under fire from female athletes who are claiming that Sweeney’s latest promotional stunt—an ad campaign for US sports-prediction market Novig in which parts of her naked body are conveniently covered by various sports paraphernalia—sets women back decades by reducing their role in sports to that of hypersexualized objects.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with WWIII. I just thought it would be a slightly less glum story to end on than one involving the deaths of tens of millions of people. After all, it sure beats that story about how an AI system hallucinated the fact that a Chinese ship was carrying nuclear weapons components to Iran, an “error” that very well could have sparked WWIII.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend, everyone!
