Johnny P,

World War III could happen should the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East merge with an outbreak of Chinese hostilities. Unexpected alliances can occur.

Your analogy with WWI is interesting. The American and China tensions parallel those between Great Britain and the rising power of Germany.

The Republicans are led by Donald Trump, who lacks any historical understanding or vision for the future. The Republican House members are perhaps more JOB FIRST than America First.

Biden had a time limit to counter Putin, which he has run over. The consequences are that more lives have been lost, the destruction greater, Putin emboldened, and Biden has the escalation he was supposedly avoiding. That funding would become an issue was absolutely predictable.

I wrote "Setbacks on Ukraine Must Not Be Made into Defeat, " inviting you to read.

Many thanks. Best to you.
