The earliest found was from “Quote and Unquote: Raising ‘Alarmist’ Cry Brings a Winchell Reply” by Walter Winchell, in the Wisconsin State Journal (23 September 1946), p. However, prior to 1948 very similar quotes were attributed in various articles to an unnamed army lieutenant, as discussed at Quote Investigator : "The Futuristic Weapons of WW3 Are Unknown, But WW4 Will Be Fought With Stones and Spears". Truman in "The culture of Einstein" by Alex Johnson, MSNBC, (18 April 2005).
Another variant ('I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones') is attributed to an unidentified letter to Harry S. I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. But I can tell you what they'll use in the fourth. Differing versions of such a statement are attributed to conversations as early as 1948 (e.g.
Einstein Archive 30-1104, as sourced in The New Quotable Einstein by Alice Calaprice (2005), p. This could be the prelude to what Albert Einstein called World War III.I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth rocks!Īlbert Einstein., in an interview with Alfred Werner, Liberal Judaism 16 (April-May 1949), 12. The Post quoted another commentator saying there are now voices in Trump's circle saying he should "go" first. The Washington Post reported this week that Kim Jong-Un's nuclear arsenal is outnumbered by the US's and, in the words of one commentator, Kim knows that if he "goes", he has to "go" first. In fact, he is a Third World leader and the question is whether four years of his government will succeed in making America a Third World nation and drag us down with it. Trump promised to Make America Great Again. The new Left, meantime, has retreated into gender and identity politics which have marginal interest for the larger electorate.

Trump was always going to lead us in the direction of war. He wiped out this one, that one." How does he do it?

" How many young guys he was like 26 or 25 when his father died – take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden – you know, it's pretty amazing when you think of it … How does he do that? … he goes in, he takes over, and he's the boss.
During the US presidential election, while describing Kim Jong-Un as a maniac you don't play games with, Trump said you had to give him "credit". "Strong men" relate easily to other "strong men" – until they fall out. This week, he rang to congratulate Turkey's President Erdogan on winning a referendum that will gut parliamentary democracy in that nation.
