    Tom Friedman wrote two or three useful columns at the start of the Russian invasion so it's not surprising to see a reversion to the mean.pic.twitter.com/liXerRedth

        Me (stupid twitter clown): Russian invasion is horrible and presents some difficult choices about how to help Ukrainians while avoiding nuclear brinksmanship. You (smart newspaper pundit): Everyone is saying this is World War III or WW IV but it's really World War I

        If WWII hadn’t happened I’d hear him out as WWI was much more limited in geographical scope. But this is ridiculous

        The Seven-Years War was fought on how many different continents? Many WWs and 1914-1919 counts too (Japan, China and India all had significant roles)
