World War 3

Foxhound38

So lets imagine a scenerio where everything goes to ****e in Ukraine, things escalate and Putin decides to take a proper swing at Obama and the West (or vice-versa) - starting a big international clusterfcuk and the march towards World War 3. What do you do?

Hide under a table?
Join the army and do your bit?
Find a partner and ride your worries about impeding violent death away?
Welcome our new KGB overlords?
Kiss your arse goodbye?

Finally get around to watching all of the Sopranos.

Take the Iodine and pull the curtains.

In the aftermath, with both Russia and the USA bloodied, beaten and totally fúcked......... The Chinese will send their millions of troops out over the world and will rule the planet.

Sit with a few friends at the piano, drinking the last of the champagne, listening out for the jackboots and sirens.

To paraphrase the Big Yin, Id steal a Ferrari and power slide it into purgatory with a heroin needle in each arm.

Might just wait for the peace talks first though.

With the major powers fighting, nobody will expect the Irish rise to the sole global power.

I just drove through Leitrim for the first time last night and the Russians must have bombed the f**k out of the place already.

Mr. Incognito

Won't happen.

Russia invading is the only thing stopping civil war and they are careful to do it strategically by sending in troops in no uniforms and seizing the military infrastructure.

If the Ukraine fell into Civil war then the oil to Europe would be cut. The US can throw shapes all it wants. It's not going to mess with Russia.

And lol at Kerry saying that its not the 19th Century and one cannot invade soverign states on trumped up charges. At least Russia isn't saying that the Euromaidens have WMDs hidden in secret bunkers.

Says I To Bridey

There'd be no welcoming KGB overlords, a combined NATO effort would wipe the floor with Russia. Although if it turned nuclear it wouldn't matter too much anyway, although I reckon you'd be safe enough if you lived in a rural area

They can't Mythbusters tested it.

Also highly unlikely it'll come to that, Neither side will want a nuclear war, both sides know it'd be stupid and I don't think Putin is that stupid.

If wwIII broke out it will be as changed from wwII as it was from wwI, most fighting will take place in rooms far far away from the front line with drones and fly by wire missles, air battles would be over before the enemy can be seen by the naked eye.

Move back to Galway Sharpish should hopefully avoid the nuclear Smog drifting over from the Britain.
We'd also be just about the only country in Europe to come out relatively ok and able to produce enough food for our people expect massive immigration into Ireland.

Famine in Russia, Mainland Europe and Britain The US to come out rather alright by virtue of being Huge and having more time to combat and intercept nuclear strikes.

Jester252

China to make a move on Japan.

Foxhound38

I always imagined it would happen this way tbh...

mythbusters set off a nuclear bomb? the bastards :mad: , thought they were hippyish types, you know what they say, always the quiet ones

I forgive you carrie, Id pick you to repopulate the world with, so no hard feelings (heh not intended)

A good quote from a great man.

As soon as you get back to the motherland, we'd need to declare total independence here and put a stop on all further immigration into the county.

The last thing we want is scrawny radiation riddled ratsos from places like Carlow and Cork coming here while glowing in the dark.

They subjected them to high doeses of radiation, no weapons ... yet

Also fun fact about Kari, before working on mythbusters she worked as a fake mannequin in clothes shops to nab shoplifters

Its all Krushchev's fault for giving away Crimea in 1954.
I always knew he would come back someway to finish off what Kennedy prevented him from doing.

Sure it's grand we can spot them when they glow in the dark and turf them out!

Besides don't they always say we only have one road in the Dublin Road so we just have to man that one!

Plazaman

Both sides should drop a few nukes. Sure it's no good having them lying around just gathering dust in silos. Feck it, use a few to see if they work.

Plenty of work abroad for those in construction industry then like.
