Franz Von Dietrich Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've been seeing lot's of rumors saying there could be a World War Three this year. I highly doubt it, due to diplomatic substances taking place in order to prevent such thing. Though, Russia and USA Relations have seen to be getting rather hostile in most depending order.

Spite Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Russia's WMDs are more likely to explode in their silos than launch. Zero chance of escalation into even a conventional war.

Kills With Fire Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you were to go back to, say, 1913/14 and look at the political climate in Russia and Europe, it might be eye opening. Then fast forward to 1931,or 2, and look close at the poitics of Europe, you might get a bit bug eyed, comparing what was happening then and what is happening now. I doubt there will be a world war three, similar to the first two, in the next year, but it wouldn't be a surprise. We are already involved in a world war, just nobody wants to admit it.

Fox Fire Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I doubt it. Neither side could beat the other in all out war.

Are you referring to the War on Terrorism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ronald Reagen Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 WW3 won't happen but Russia is being more hostile to post-soviet satellites, there will be war this year between Russia and post-soviet nations for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kills With Fire Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Are you referring to the War on Terrorism? That phrase is not exactly accurate. Terrorism is but one tactic of a much larger war of ideologies. I probably should not have typed that line, as I don't really have the desire to get into a discussion that may well get myself, or others, banned from the forum. Assuming this forum is as "tolerant" as other forums I've been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would gain a shitload of territory before we could stop them. But, we would stop them in or just after France. It's in the bible. Russia is the white horseman.

I laughed way too hard at this. Americans... :facepalm: What? We aren't the ones making a fifth generation tank... Yet. I doubt it. Neither side could beat the other in all out war. We both know it. Yes, one side could beat the other. They would be very vulnerable to a third power (China) invading. It's in the bible. Russia is the white horseman. AFAIK, we aren't marked yet.

I highly doubt China would join our side, and they wouldn't be able to invade us. But if they did join our side, I'm not so sure they could invade Russia either.

Magicboyd25 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The US has reduced military before I just dont think we have the capability to fight Russia and other countries if it escalates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsuper Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It didn't escalate to a shooting war for 50 years during the Cold War, what has changed that it would escalate now? Russia is in a weaker position than it was then (recklessness=/= strength), and MAD is still a real threat. It all depends on whether either party threatens a core interest of the other. AFAIK, the US has no treaty obligations to defend Ukraine (the sometimes-cited Budapest Memorandum was an NAP, not a protectorate; read it!). If Russia invades a country that the US is not allied to, it's simply not worth risking WWIII to use force protect a non-ally. Sorry, it's not. You can call it appeasement, I call it sanity. Hitler didn't have nukes behind him when he rolled into Sudetenland. If Russia invades a NATO country, that would be different, and ill-advised. There's no winner in that scenario, unless NATO backs down from its obligations, then Russia wins, and "NATO" becomes a byword for failure like "League of Nations". And I don't think it will come to that for the same reason it didn't come to that during the Cold War: because Russia doesn't want WWIII either. More proxies, sanctions, and empty words, probably will stay that way at least until Putin is done being President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelations stuff is a running joke of mine. I got some sweet residuals from writing on the subject. It's one of those things people can't get enough of. Really, you can make prophesy fit any event, given enough metaphorical license. It just so happens that current events are rendering my book accurate, so Anywho...Russia (USA, too) wants puppets, not territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Fire Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Is he into that stuff? I am aware of his existence, but that is all. His final episode of his show on Fox News was all about how Russia and Turkey were going to unite and start some big ass "revelations" war, end times are nigh, blah blah blah. Course he's always bringing biblical shit into his "predictions" that never come true.

SoS Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) His final episode of his show on Fox News was all about how Russia and Turkey were going to unite and start some big ass "revelations" war, end times are nigh, blah blah blah. Course he's always bringing biblical !@#$ into his "predictions" that never come true. Most people have no idea what the book actually says. They preach hersay, without ever reading and analyzing the text. Ex. people believe in the rapture. There's nothing in the bible to remotely suggest it. Turkey is supposed to be a reluctant partner in all this. They go along for a while then change their minds. Likely when the horsemen go beyond their original agreement. Turkey isn't a horseman (bottom line). According to the book there's going to be several catastrophic events that leave regions weak and herald Ww3. You'll know very well if and when you should start repenting. Edited February 25, 2015 by SoS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this is an example of Poe's Law. Quote If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a roll. There is one you will follow. One who is the shining star, and he will lead you to beautiful places in the search of his own vanity. And when there is no more vanity to be found, he will leave you in darkness, as a fading memory of his own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
