Putin Needs A War BIGGER Than Ukraine

Cliff Schecter launched World War Next with 2 people who read Russia for a living: Olga Lautman, the analyst who calls herself "Russia’s nightmare," and Jacob Kaarsbo, a former officer of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service. The premise was simple and uncomfortable. Russia's fought a shadow war vs the West for over a decade. Europe keeps answering with half measures, and Putin now needs a bigger war than he has.

It's been feeling a bit 1980s lately. Berlin blamed Russia for a Leipzig airport drone attack September 1st; the same day, 2 power substations in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia were hit in suspected sabotage, 4,200 megawatts of generation went offline, and an explosion followed at the Augsburg train station. Olga went through the timeline, why it looks like Russia rehearsing what it's done to Ukraine’s grid every winter.

CNN Data Guru: Trump's Approval Rating With Working Americans In A Nosedive

We'll see how long it takes Trump to fall back out of love with CNN's Harry Enten after this dismal report on Trump's polling numbers. Trump was recently praising Enten when he pointed out that Trump's still got an iron grip on the Republican party.

He won't be a fan of this Monday's Segment from CNN News Central, where Enten and host John Berman discussed his sinking numbers with working Americans on the Labor Day holiday:

ENTEN: But either way, let's take a look at how the president is doing on the economy when it comes to those who are employed full time. And it's just a complete 180.

Look, this was a major strength for him back in 2024 when it came to the economy. Look at this, employed voters, Trump and the economy versus Harris. He was trusted more than Harris by 20 points on the economy.
