   There's a lot happening in the world. Russia is picking a fight with   
   Azerbaijan. Turkey has already stated that any actual military action by   
   Russia against Azerbaijan would be unacceptable. So, the seed for an   
   escalating conflict has been planted.   
      
   Meanwhile, NATO chief Rutte indicated that China might make a "friendly"   
   request to Russia to pick a fight with NATO once China launches its military   
   action toward Taiwan.   
      
   That, too, would be a prelude to WWIII.   
      
   In short, the chances of WWIII are rapidly increasing.   
      
   Meanwhile, Putin has finally made it clear to Trump that Russia has no   
   intention of stopping the war in Ukraine. After their last phone call, Putin   
   brutally attacked Kyiv, showing he has absolutely no regard for Trump or the   
   US.   
      
   Putin assumes the US has capitulated and is now giving Russia free rein in   
   Ukraine.   
      
   Trump lost the pissing contest with Putin.
