"Politicians and high-ranking figures are said to have received a warning from president Vladimir Putin to bring their loved-ones home to the 'Motherland', according to local media.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has also warned that the world is at a 'dangerous point' due to rising tensions between Russia and the US."
Could this be the opening of WWIII?

I'd be surprised. We had higher tensions than this in the cold war. Quite frankly Russia's conventional forces are far from back up to strength and Putin knows this.
Some tit for tat cyber warfare exchanges are far more likely.

It's funny in a way because after living through the cold war, when I read about incidents like Russian bombers flying close to US it doesn't get me excited at all. Rather it feels like things are just getting back to "normal" with the Russians.

SPC Kevin Ford, Saddam's military wasn't either, but he saw us as a paper tiger that was afraid to act.

Actually, it appears the Russian story was about Russian officials and wealthy elites having their families living and going to school abroad being viewed badly by Russians. It cites an example of a Russian government official's kid who came back from living oversees with a foreign accent. I sure hope our bombers haven't passed the fail safe point yet and we can turn them around from this false alarm.

Putin Urging Russian Officials to Return to Russia
Russian president Vladimir Putin's administration issued an informal request for Russian officials abroad to return home, but not because they believe war is imminent.
