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. ---------- Richard Shirreff is Co-founder and Managing Partner at Strategia Worldwide.
