Everyone else is on the other side. Lavrov knows exactly what he is doing as Donald Trump sent over his CIA Director John Ratcliffe to meet with the top intelligence officials in Moscow this past week. Lavrov is reminding Donald Trump about World War III, which terrifies Donald Trump the most.

Donald Trump faces growing fears of World War III as the war in Ukraine escalates, with Russia invoking the words that haunt Trump: World War. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said many people are calling the war in Ukraine a World War, but the only servicemen who were in the trenches with us were servicemen from North Korea. Everyone else is on the other side. Lavrov knows exactly what he is doing as Donald Trump sent over his CIA Director John Ratcliffe to meet with the top intelligence officials in Moscow this past week. Lavrov is reminding Donald Trump about World War III, which terrifies Donald Trump the most.
Russia's Provocations and NATO's Weakness
While Lavrov is doing that, we should talk about what's actually happening in the world that's being covered up. In the past 48 hours, off the coast of Romania, a cargo ship called Progress 4 caught fire and sank after being hit. The incident occurred in the Black Sea approximately 20 nautical miles from Saint George. There were 12 crew members on board, all were rescued, and one sailor was injured. The President of Romania stated that it was currently unknown who and why the ship was hit, but it seems pretty obvious to those who can exercise a modicum of common sense that it was indeed Russia. So why would the President of Romania be saying, "We don't know who did it"? Because that would require the invocation of NATO's Article 5, or at least Article 4, the consultation provision. Donald Trump is no longer following Article 5 or Article 4 of NATO, and the NATO members don't want to show how weak NATO has become. So Russia is picking its targets, NATO member targets, and doing strikes like this to test the resolve, and they are getting their answer.
