Are we headed toward World War 3?

Post Reply New Topic

The question is: could the main industrialized powers start fighting each other? The main powers being Russia, the EU, the USA, China, Japan. And emerging industrialized countries like India.

Factions in the third world could slaughter each other to their hearts' delight it wouldn't be "a world war". The current wars in the middle east steal the headlines, but arent likely to cause a world war ( ie a war waged by the superpowers directly against other super powers).

But the current crises in the Ukraine is a possible flash point between powerful industrialized countries: NATO/EU, and the USA, on one hand, and the Putin on the other. Its a territorial dispute right there in Europe. A little undiplomatic diplomacy-and bang- the superpowers could start shooting at each other.

Niether China nor the USA want a war with the other. Both are eager to keep on trading with the other. Conceivably the two Korean tails could wag the two dogs (their respective super power allies). North Korea could invade the South drawing both the US and China in.

what about china empoaching on everyones borders cause they claim all the seas. or the disputes with japan continuing to escalate. japan now building a offensive military force etc. theres still taiwan too.

china may not want a war but they are also trying to push the line as far as they can't whos to say they don't mis read the us/japan/philippines/vietnam s view of where the line is and go over it.

same for russia vs nato. that's what will start it is two leaders different view points of where the thin line is and one going over it because of this.

There has to be some excuse for all that spending.

Half of all government spending, Defense.

The clock is running out, we are eighteen trillion overdrawn, and the War Babies want their Social Security.

There has to be some way to keep Defense Fraud going, Cuba could invade us!

It was the US that knocked over Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and founded AQ and IS as an excuse.

The EU was not paying off NATO at 3%, so they have to be forced to.

I think that we should all panic and give up because of overactive imaginations.

You've got it all backwards. Russia is bolstering up their anti-American rhetoric out of a collective national self preservation. America is the enemy, as has already been pointed out. Wouldn't you defend yourself against an enemy, trying to attack you? Maybe you wouldn't... that's your business.

Ukraine is at the forefront of doing Israel and USA's bidding, playing along and touting the lines of globalization and they've given up their sovereignty already, Russia hasn't. Putin rightly recognizes the growing cancer of globalization and economic tyrrany that imposes. Putin is the best thing that's happened for Russia in it's long, recent tragic history. Russians love him and feel a strong sense of nationalism. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is a good thing for Russia, not as the self-deprecating neo liberals would guilt you into believing. Liberalism is a cancer eating away at the world -- it is inherently false because it goes directly against what it says it does. Hooray for Putin and cheers to Russia for fighting tyrrany wherever it may exist. Russia now stands for what America used to stand for...freedom.

Perhaps you should educate yourself on what's really going on, instead of watching the lies the mainstream media wants you to believe.

It ate another post.

Russia "stands for freedom"? That's why it's a crime to be homosexual, I'm guessing?

Putin has Russia's best interests at heart? That's why his opponents mysteriously die and the general public perceives politicians as far more corrupt than the American public do? (And when was the last time you heard someone praise politicians?)

Yup, this is what Russia looks like

on the inside, for Freedom.

The U.S. is a cakewalk compared to ThIS oppression.



That's just a 'Muslim Extremist' country IN PRACTICE LIKE THIS

with little religion. 'PATRIARCHY', UNLEAShed,

has been the frigging problem,

for around 12K years

or so...

And if 'they' have 'their'
way 'we' will have World WAR 3;

but THANK GOD, 'THEY',
OVERALL,
ARE
A
DYING WAY...

Putin, at 5 foot 7, LIKELY
has 'a form' of so-called
'little man syndrome',
like Napoleon;
and that's
a dangerous
issue, AS
MIXED, AS
unresolved;
particularly
at World
Leader
Status, in all
things that CAN
COME WITH THAT...
