Given that World War III is starting...

Donkey Oaty

...at least according to Reuters today, I was wondering if this article in the Herald is still true.

To save you the bother of reading the articles, Russia's violation of Turkish (i.e. NATO) airspace is "raising the stakes in a high risk situation" (UK MoD Sec), and so we're all fecked.

But the real issue that perplexes me is whether we should pay any attention to the Herald when stocking up on baked beans. Heinz, Batchelors' and Aldi beans offer national pride, nostalgic comfort and brutal economic realities which are jostling for position in my mind.

Has anyone tried all three?

WW3 is starting 'cos the Herald told you and the plan is to start farting.

That's actually a ****ing great philosophy. The New World Order starts here.

You know what... **** America.

There's not gonna be a WW3 while Obama is in charge. You can tell he doesn't want the fight and must be counting down the last few months, hoping Putin doesn't keep running rings around the US.

Good. Good.

The world is stagnating, the population to large to support. We need to thin the herd.

I for one, welcome this new world war.

Guess who's not paying his next water bill?

The OP sees the start of WW3, and his reaction is to start gassing people.

OP; do you have any German ancestors?

The US murders medical workers and injured people in a hospital in a horrific war crime.

Russia allegedly flies through Turkish airspace.

And the unbiased media goes for the latter as potentially sparking WW3.

The mainstream media is sh1t.

Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

Russian planes aren't allowed in Turkish airspace? Last time I was in Antalya there were rakes of Russians there. I think a lot of them flew in.

So what your saying is the Russians flying into Turkish airspace will mean hike in bean price's.

What about the price of spuds, will they be affected

rolliepoley

There will be anarchy on the streets looking for beans.

If the next US president is Republican we might get a dust up with Putin. The Russians are flexing their muscles at the moment
So we prob all die in a nuclear winter

How have you time to be reading this thread???

Aren't you involved in deep discussion with Fenway Sports Group about replacing Brendan Rodgers????

NachoBusiness

Humans have peaked now anyway.

What could we do? Makes phones thinner, planes faster.. boring, who cares.

Even a hoverboard woudn't impress me now.

I think dark age living would do us good.

What's left of us in the apocalyptic world anyway.

Just let me have one more ****.

Luckily there's more than one media source than herald.ie OP

I just spoke with our chief of General Staff. We have given necessary instructions to our foreign minister. Diplomatic traffic has begun. Our position is very clear, we’ll warn any country that violates our borders in a friendly way. Russia is our friend and neighbor. There is no tension between Turkey and Russia in this sense. The issue of Syria is not a Turkish-Russian crisis

...keeping an eye on the Russian jets deliberate incursions into Turkish space :cool:

If this should happen again, and if the Turkish airforce should 'engage', things could get very dangerous very quickly, and I say this in the context of Russian boots already being on the ground in Turkey + all the other shenanigans Putin is playing at.

I'm not worried, but let's just see how this pans out.

Better to be annihilated by the Russians than be a kept in an incubation chambers by our new Chinese overlords being used to flavour Soy Sauce.

Yes, bring on the nukes.

You can definitely see how the situation could go pear shaped very quickly. More so than at any point in the last 25 years.
