451. Sir Richard Shirreff - Escalation is Putin's Default Strategy; Might that be Driving us Towards WW3?

Barely a week goes by without things occurring that would have been
inconceivable three years ago. Russian territory being hit by American
made munitions, history’s most substantial sanctions in place against
Russia, a near coup against the Kremlin, and Putin going cap-in-hand to
Kim-Jong-Un to prop up his ailing military. What more can happen before
these tensions and conflicts coalesce into World War 3 – especially the
expectations that Korea troops will soon be fighting on the territory of
Europe.
