    I've no idea which superhero is with which comic


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    If it was a real WWIII (never mind comic books), I'd much rather be with the Americans that against them, to be perfectly honest...

    Also, as Einstein said, we won't know what weapons will be used in World War III, but in World War IV, it will be sticks, stones and spears...

    So? There we're loads of Arachnids on Planet P, but that didn't stop Rico's Ruffnecks and the mobile infantry from nuking them and winning!

    Ye just have to catch the brain!

    The Russians and the Chinese won't team up. They'd both want to be powerhouses in their own right.

    Add to that, that the Russians aren't the power they were when it was the USSR. A few rusty MiGs and some creaky Soviet nuclear subs is about the top and bottom of it.

    But the Chinese... yeah... they'd be a bit more scary alright.

    Proper "Wait until you see the whites of their eyes, lads!" stuff that.

    You sound right. I just see former CIA going on US tv shows constantly. KGB wouldn't do that. Russia ain't exactly tabloid. Russia is still number 1

    True... but chances are they'd blow themselves up before wiping Washington off the map.

    Maybe not though.

    Like 'em or hate 'em, I'd still rather be with the Yanks than against them.

    The Russians are a very proud people and would never be a push over.The Chinese are all pampered single child families and might not have much of a stomach for warfare.

    Of course I suspect we will have a common defence policy in place when it comes, Ireland won't be able to hide again. The USA will be in charge of course so we'll be fighting who ever launched assault on the Israels's. I'd suspect we may have some defectors in our ranks.

    Also, Israel have to be the most dogged, determined, non-pushover shower on the face of the Earth. Every nation that has ever gone to war with Israel has never come out of it without a bloody nose. They're like the one group of people that it just does not pay to fúck with...

    Isreal have america backing them right now. In a world war Isreal wouldn't have the threat of america destroying whoever.


    I bloody loathe Isreal as a country.

    They're a brutal race and as tough as they come, remember Israel is only the size of Munster but yet they'll defend their borders to the limit. Even I will respect that but I won't tolerate their Mafioso stance in the region, they can't keep their foot on Palestine. They need to pull into a reverse gear because I fear for this planet if the USA actively enter their conflict.

    It's easier to say Israelis, Yids or Kikes won't fly here. It's kind of like calling an Irish person a mick or an Italian a greaser, the powers that be don't like it, I know we're jesting but we have to be respectful, always refer to your opponent in a formal manner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Killer Wench


    "Hey brah..." asks the US.

    "Yeah man. Wassup?," says China.

    "Can I borrow a trillion?", we ask.

    China, "Uhm... I guess, but why?".

    "We're going to war. With you," we says.

    "Hell naw, dude!" China yells.

    Relax. There would never be a war between the US and China. We would have to borrow the money from China in order to pay for it.

    Israelites it is then, even tho theres a lot worse words out there to call them than yids. And btw alot of jews like being called yids

    Well if they like the Yid moniker they can have it. I've heard some very funny sayings over the years, I can't repeat them though because I'd be perma banned out of here. Very ugly phrases but humorous none the less.

    To be fair, yids is easier to spell.

    A lot of spurs fans use it about themselves. Depends on the context.

    Some Spurs and Ajax fans call themselves Yids. Because of their Jewish heritage.

    China and Russia are more likely to go to war against each other rather than with each other.

    Also, isn't Spiderman wirh Marvel?

    All Daleks would be rendered useless as soon as steps or a kerb were introduced :p. Ryan Tubridy would be first to be shot/blown up/stabbed/stabbed repeatedly/decapitated/hanged/bazooka'd/snapped. He would also turn the opposition into such a blinding rage that nobody else would stand a chance for the first hour..

    Whichever side the Vietnamese are on. Also having Eritrea as allies would be a plus.

    Are you joking? The Russians have the most nuclear weapons and the most powerful non nuclear bomb not to mention the obvious size of their manpower.
