I meant he accidentally started WWIII at the same time he made it clear Russia's military is collapsing from the inside out.

It probably won't escalate to a shooting war outside of Ukraine, but that's mostly because the rest of the world will probably be able to stop him via a proxy war.

He showed spectacular lack of judgment. I'm sorry if anyone thought I meant he lacks responsibility for his actions. I hope Putin is charged and convicted of war crimes.

By your definition the Korean and Vietnam Wars would have counted as World War Three as well.

There is a kind of an economic world war brewing right now, but I expected China to be on the receiving end from the start...
