We might be getting World War 3 before we get GTA 6.

So, last weekend, Ukraine decided to launch drone strikes on Russian vessels carrying drone parts in the Caspian. So far, so normal. The problem is they were coming from Iranian ports, carrying Iranian goods, and Iran claims that one of them was a civilian vessel carrying unrelated goods. And now, Iran is very pissed, and is claiming they will retaliate against Ukraine for this. So, now, the Iran War that the US is involved in is threatening to get directly involved with the Ukraine War, which wasn't on my bingo card for 2026, let me tell you!

Now, this isn't exactly out of left field. We've known for some time that Russia has been getting Shahed attack drones from Iran, and Russia has been using them to nonstop bombard Ukraine. We also know that Ukraine, now a top tier drone operator, has been sending defense advisors to the Gulf states to help defend against Iran's strikes against them. So the two wars have been linked, but it's been at arm's length. And now that arm's length is threatening to shorten by a lot. This is bad. Very bad.
