Is World War 3 closer than some Americans might think? Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, gave a public speech this week in which he blamed the U.S. for problems in the Ukraine as well as terrorism in the Middle East. BBC News reports this Saturday, October 25, 2014, that political activist and world chess champion Garry Kasparov recently called Putin a serious "threat," underscoring him as the key figure interested in drawing a new map towards Ukrainian territory.
In a speech that some listeners called the closest throwback to the Cold War in modern times, Vladimir Putin announced that Russia is not to blame for current global issues, and that it is the US responsible for trying to selfishly "remake the world." The possibility of a World War 3 may seem far-fetched, but the Russian leader had no hesitation earlier this month to remind people everywhere that the Eurasian country has nuclear weapons — and the power to use them effectively.
