A lot happened overnight, but one pattern keeps showing up.
Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 drones at Kyiv, killing at least 11 people in the second massive strike on the capital in less than a week.
Ukraine says its Patriot missile interceptors are running low, raising a simple question.
What happens if the attacks keep getting bigger but the air defenses keep getting smaller?
The timing does not look accidental.
Zelenskyy is expected to meet Trump in Ankara this week, putting even more pressure on talks over military support and the next phase of the war.
Then there is China.
Beijing tested a submarine launched ballistic missile in the South Pacific, calling it a routine launch with a dummy warhead.
Maybe it was.
But Russia is escalating in Europe while China is demonstrating strategic weapons in the Pacific.
Those are not isolated headlines.
They point to a world where multiple flashpoints are heating up at the same time.
The World Cup delivered more surprises with Norway eliminating Brazil and England edging Mexico, but the bigger story today is how quickly geopolitical risks are stacking up.
The next few days could matter far more than most people realize.
