    So that world war 3 seems to be coming ever closer, are you prepared for the fallout?

    Will you be signing up for the military or do you have a bunker or somewhere?

    Honestly really thought this was unlikely to happen, but with trumps seeming lack of intellect it looks like it will happen.

    Is it actually imminent, I wouldn't have thought so... just a bit to tense for my liking.

    It's very likely. Trump is erratic and playing at being President. The military as an extension of an unstable ego is serious bad news. Put that with the lunatic in North Korea and Putin looking to pick off easy targets and it could get very messy.

    If there was war, the US and Russia would probably be the main players in it...

    WW3 won't happen, the powers that be know that there's too much profit to be lost in an all out schomozle, proxy wars and brinksmanship is where it's at.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,132 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    The OP seems to have mistaken North Korea for Russia. Not sure how that's possible, there actually is quite a big difference.

    Trump isn't a cause, hes a result. He didn't appear out of the thin air, he was voted in by people who are happy enough, to one extent or the other, with his ideas. Not necessarily all of them of course.

    Same with brexit.

    Same with le pen doing well in polls. If she loses the French election, you think all that pent-up frustration in france is gonna go away? Nah, it'll be the next election. Its all heading one direction now. What can you do?! think of the average eejit that you know, and then realise that half the planet are even more of an eejit!

    These people are a result.

    So, that said, I reckon theres a major conflict on the way, sure. Trump, le pen etc could be jettisoned to the moon....but that doesn't remove the reason why they came to be.

    Simplest reduction possible? People are unhappy. Doesn't matter where you stand....liberal, right, conservative, muslim, Christian....no-ones happy anymore with the future in front of them. Someones gonna get a slap, and then there'll be three-stooges style slapping all round.

    Not really, if they have nuclear capability and nothing to lose they just merely need to launch what they have and this will be aimed at south korea. Also china is an ally of north korea and have quite a powerful war unit along with russia kicking in for the fun of it and you have the new axis.

    I agree world war 3 wont happen but the US will bomb North Korea very soon.
    And I expect china to send in ground forces as soon as that happens, china and the US working together but not admitting it.
    I just hope the attack is planned meticulously.

    Was World War I called that when it was actually happening? What about World War 2?

    Maybe we won't know what World War 3 is like until it's over. Maybe these constant 'small wars' are what we will eventually look back on as the third great conflict of the modern era and the first of the 21st century.

    Do i need something else to counteract MOAB?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭Cheerful Spring


    I picked happen eventually. You be an idiot to think nobody is going to use a nuke ever again in a conflict. Only 50 years ago ( Cuban Missile crisis) we were very close to having a Nuclear war. During the last Korean war General MacArthur wanted to use Nuclear weapons against the Chinese, but the White House refused him. Personally i think nuclear war can only be avoided when we got good leaders.

    Good thing the Chinese have such pristine clean hands on that score.

    Incredible that they are still yabbering ineffectually about parties talking, dialogue and such tried and proven ineffectuals.
    "I think that all relevant parties should be highly vigilant with regards to this situation."

    The Chinese foreign minister actually just said that - and people have been muttering about Boris Johnson not being up to scratch. Sorry, Wang, kum bah yah doesn't look like it's going to make top of the pops just at the moment. Try massing a million troops and half your tanks along the border, revving their engines, and you might stand a chance of a number one hit. At number two, on this weeks charts, should be: 'stop those incursions of our sacred airspace with all those jets, I am very annoyed and if you don't watch out we will retaliate and attack your 1.2 Billion people with our sharpened chop sticks.'

    This bit made me laugh! Militaries are going to be useless in a neuclear war!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It would never 100% nuclear, wouldn't be anything left then. Even what isn't hit would become useless with fallout blown on the wind.

    Half the people on the planet are below average intelligence.

    As long as we keep a few smarter ones in control of things we'll be fine.

    Trump is too smart to do anything to start ww3. Hes picking on Afghanistan. Using that to show how powerful he is to the others

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,257 ✭✭✭Yourself isit


    No this won't cause WWIII. It might cause a local nuclear exchange.

    The neo conservatives next target after they turn Syria into a desert is Iran. That might cause WWIII.
