I thought Corbett quit youtube all together quite a while ago.
It is interesting the question of if WWIII has already started from the perspective of Ukraine. I find the subjectivity of the starts of wars interesting. WWI and WWII, while definitely not the same war actually could be lumped into the same general conflict along with the cold war, which is response to Russian (communist for most of that time)'s military expansion. In that sense Germany entered the cold war before us, and it never was cold.
The current war in Ukraine could be said to have started since before Russia invaded. If you measure war as conflict between states that results in violence and spills over to civilians, then Ukraine shelling of civilians in Donetsk. But propagandists always have an interest in arguing when a war started because it shifts who started it and who is to blame.
The only way history books agree on when wars start is when a victor writes a history book.
Even the American Revolutionary war is going to have disagreement. We'd say it started with the Boston Massacre. The British will say it started with the Battle of Lexington and Concord.

Corbett only lasted on YouTube as long as he did because he wasn't monetized and earning off ads - but eventually he was banned for exposing corrupt science, among other things.
Corbett has always said to share his content far and wide. And someone has bothered to start that YouTube channel. I suggested they say "(Unofficial)" to let folks know, and they did, whether they read my comment or not.

Indeed. And winning a war doesn't make you right, it just means you survived. All wars start and end in lies.
Corbett did a neat video many years ago along the lines of "The Shot Heard Round The World" being a false flag centuries ago.
