Summary
As the war between Russia and Ukraine officially turns a year old today, a popular question among many is whether we are witnessing the start of World War III. However, with joint military exercises between Russia and China, as well as reports that Iran could be on the verge of becoming a nuclear power, Eastern Europe is hardly the only front that bears watching.

| 0:00.0 | Today is Friday, February the 24th, 2023. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. Today's article |
| 0:10.6 | is written by Dr. Ryan Dennison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison Forum. As the war |
| 0:16.4 | between Russia and Ukraine officially turns a year old today. A popular question among many is whether |
| 0:22.8 | we are witnessing the start of World War III. After all, it has already become the biggest |
| 0:28.9 | ground war in Europe since World War II and shows few signs of slowing down anytime soon. |
