Iran, Israel, United States, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Syria, Yemen, Russia, Ukraine and North Korea are all violently involved in war. Today's technology, especially drones, allows a slow burn world war instead of the much more violent previous ones.

Another difference is the rules of war are now being routinely ignored and without consequence. Putin specifically targets civilian populations, which is a war crime.

Furthermore, today's technologically intensive warfare means that Musk and/or Trump can throttle satellite intelligence to Ukraine as a tactic favoring Russia to kill more Ukrainian civilians due to lack of warning. That's just one example of how technology itself is a weapon in this world war.

In case you hadn't noticed, we're now in World War III with 19 countries violently involved.  Today's technology just makes it a much slower burn compared to previous world wars.

I've learned not to put anything past Trump or Putin. January 6th proved Trump will stop at nothing, even violence, to avoid losing an election. And Putin routinely has his enemy's secretly killed.

I wonder how thorough Graham's autopsy was, if it even happened at all.

Trump waited until Lindsey Graham was dead before going full Putin on us.  Now I wonder if Putin had him assassinated.
