Are we now closer to ‘World War III’
Last year, President Joe Biden asserted that delivering offensive military equipment, including tanks to Ukraine as part of that nation’s ongoing battle against invading Russian troops, would lead directly to another world war.“The idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews — just understand, don’t kid yourself, no matter what y’all say, that’s called World War III,” he said in March.
