no

American conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host Alex Jones did allege a war was coming in February 2022. However, he did not predict that it would be between Ukraine and Russia.

On Oct. 21, 2021 Jones said that "the smart money is on a war with China."

An edited version of his monologue is on Facebook, which selectively omits the word China.
