We are closer, Brett, I don't want to be hyperbolic and say World War III, but let me just say this.

Every nation in the world

is in some way kind of in a war right now.

Does that make it a World War III?

But the world is at war, whether you look at Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, which by the way, is also caused by Donald Trump propping up Pakistan and attacking India, and Pakistan saying that Afghanistan is now a colony of India.

It's directly attributable to Donald Trump as well, whether it's the U.S.

attack on Iran, which Iran has now retaliated by attacking U.S.

bases and interests and other countries' interests across Iran.

the Middle East.

It's fascinating in the sense that like you have the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, you know, the UK was attacked in Cyprus, their base, but they're trying to avoid engaging or being involved in this war.

They're like, yeah, we're not at war.

You know, we're here defensively, but we're not going to be in this.

There was a French base

the united arab emirates in abu dhabi was struck by iran and the french there was rumors that they were going to send the charles de gaulle aircraft carrier to help the us and uh president macron of france made it very clear you know no we're not we're not doing that in the past 24 to 48 hours

Russia has released a statement showing its support of Iran and has been having a call with their foreign minister.

And they did a joint statement together condemning the United States.

And similarly, in China, China's foreign minister spoke to the foreign minister of Iran

And both of them issued a joint statement strongly condemning the United States.

And it should be noted that over this weekend, we also learned that the United States has cut off and stopped military aid and supplies that were owed to Taiwan because Donald Trump desperately wants to keep his state visit

with Xi Jinping on schedule in April.
