Not WWIII, but the destruction of America from within. Vote next Nov. This is arguably one of, if not the, most important election in modern time. If any of the D candidates win the WH, we're done. America will be forever changed, mark my words. Remember that when you get pissy because 'your guy' didn't get the nod and contemplate staying home on election day. View Quote |

It's very important both domestically and internationally. SCOTUS is likely to have two judges retiring and IS is anything but contained. Meanwhile POTUS is importing Syrain rebels (they're already proving themselves a Trojan horse) promising background checks when we couldn't even do those same checks correctly on Bradley Manning. Maybe that sort of shit is funny to morons but I'd rather not see things get worse. |

From the enemies` perspective I`d rather go to war with Obongo in charge rather than Trump or Cruz. Hmmmmm

I think ww3 started with the embassy hostage taking in Iran in 79. Maybe even Munich. We sure didn't see it, but that's how it happens too. In the same way the treaty at Versailles fomented ww2, maybe the creation of Isreal set the stage for ww3. Not meant to blame Isreal, btw. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Not as a World War. For that matter, I think the term, "proxy war," is nonsense. A "proxy" is a substitute, a stand-in, someone who acts on behalf of someone else. I don't know of anybody we've fought that was fighting for Russia. All of the opponents we've waged war against were fighting for themselves, not for Russia.

im not sure about a world war..... but damn sure a shitload of instability... with will probably result in either iran nuking someone... or providing a nuke, to allow terrorists to nuke someone...
which could result in nuke retaliation...... ( nuke iran) which could lead to irans super power buddies possibly nuking us... or israel. |

When the major powers go to blows, THEN you can consider ww3 has begun. Till then its just wars and rumors of wars, which have been escalating and setting the stage for the next, and the next, and the next....... but we're not there yet. A lot more and harsher economic problems have to arise first.

I think it's an escalation of an ongoing battle, but certainly not WWIII. View Quote Considering now Russia is involved along with a good chunk of Europe getting more active and the ME, it may as well be another world war. Just different in terms of scale and tactics as the first two. It'll be longer too. |

The period of relative peace in Europe following WWII was a historical anomaly that is probably coming to an overdue end. WWIII? Who knows. Doubt it, since there are no major military powers that are likely to throw down in total war. View Quote For the past 200 some years we have had a historical anomaly where a particular peaceful culture has had dominance of the world's oceans (with the exception of the first half of 1942 in the Pacific). This has enabled a time of relative peace and prosperity. |

So let's say Iran gets close to the bomb and Israel launches an attack. Well Russia doesn't care for IDF planes flying over their forces so they shoot a couple down. Well Israel can't stand that obviously. One, an existential crisis still exists if Iran gets a bomb so the strike must go on, two, they now have to return fire on Russia. So now Russia and Israel are at war. Two things wrong with that scenario. 1. Despite the blusterings of Netan-yahoo, Israel isn't going to attack Iran. 2. The Israelis aren't dumb enough to start a war with Russia. You outed yourself in bold. Also, you are being obtuse. We weren't directly fighting the Soviets, however they were supplying money and arms to N. Vietnam, El Salvador, Libya, Saddam, etc. So, yes, we were engaged in a proxy war. How else would you describe the Bay of Pigs situation? Using your logic, why would Cuba alone engage in a war with the US, since we are bigger, and they didn't have the economy for it? |

Cuba's secret police were trained by the East Europeans, I forget which but IIRC Germans or Poles, both of which had an excellent intelligence service. |
